The owner of Sylvan told me how to fix the tire / wheel interface and they didn't turn out too bad. If any of you are in the market for 1940's /...
Well, the two REO trucks are being a pain, as was the MOW truck. It may just be a function of dealing with a resin kit. They're not as accurate as...

Thanks, Tom. Thanks for all of your ideas for the truck. Maybe drill a hole and shape it with an exacto to look like a dent? Then, if you don't...
