It's got no blade! You won't cut much grass with that. (Not that many of use have 1/25 scale lawns. It would be cool to make one partly mowed, though.)

If we were playing scrabble, you would certainly win. That pun really mowed me over.
I can remember that dad would make me go mow the lawn in the middle of a draught. The lawn was brown. I could barely tell where I had been. It was just busy work! We had mowers that had an 18 inch cut and were a reel type mower. They had engines and were self propelled too. You just had to guide it.

  I do have a question about the trucks tailgate. If I were to take a label maker, one of those ancient things that embosses lettering by pushing it out on the sticky strip, would it make letters that look like they belonged on the tailgate? Would a letter 1/4 inch tall spelling INTERNATIONAL look OK on the gate? I have this 54 and a 47 truck and neither one has any lettering on the tailgate. I want this to become an accurate part of the model. The letters I use to mark my molds is not the right font. Thank you in advance |

You could always try the old trick of putting BMF on the tailgate, covering it with silicone, pulling the whole mess off, filling the letters with epoxy, and sanding it down so the letters are supported by a thin layer of epoxy. Tricky, but doable. Old school pre-photoetch emblem copying. If you do it right, the BMF stays on the letters and you've got them in "chrome".

  Here is the first mold made with a part ready to be removed from it. Usually the first part is perfect and after that it is a fight to get a good part out.  Here is the second mold with parts ready. It takes one T E A S P O O N of resin to make the top part and 5 milliliter to make the bottom bunch of parts. I'm not sure why s p o o n is a bad word. |
