Hello,


it´s me again, and i just want to inform you that it´s going on here AND that i have got a new part for Astute...

If i find enough time i will rebuild the next Astute using this part. I haven´t cleaned it or cut away the rests of the mold, but the part is again a perfect copy of the original and fits perfecttly as well...



So... if you want to have one of these or a pair of the rear Astute parts http://tamiyaclub.com/CS/forums/178557/ShowThread.aspx#178557 than contact me please.

Dyna storm parts will be made as well, but right now i don´t need Dyna parts (what the he... are you doing with your Dynas... i have 2 Stormies running now, but never had a problem till today)...


The next thing is:

I got a lot of requests concerning Egress/Avante/Vanquish remakes. 

NOW... a few days ago i have got my first Egress and a Avante 2001 (i think it is a 2001). So i can tell you that i will need parts for these cars as well. Currently i am modifying the front and rear uprights for Egress. After finishing this i will request a quote and place the order for  a few copies...


so... if anybody is interessted as well... the more parts i can order, the cheaper they will be at the end...



Have FUN


Otto ;-)

Hi Otto,
I would be VERY interested in the upright set for the Egress/Avante.  Especially any fix for the fragile front C-Parts.
Thanks, and let me know.

Hello,


i´m just copying my private msg answer into here...

yes i can help, and i WILL reproduce these parts for my cars as well.

A few minutes ago i have added pictures of egress and avante 2001 to my showroom ;-)

Currently i´m modifying the considered parts because i don´t have new ones available. Since i don´t have any experience with these cars, maybe you can tell me where C-parts are often breaking so i can give the reproductions a slight reinforcement.

Have you already seen the existing aluminium parts for Astute ?!? - so you can imagine what is possible... there are now 3 threads existing concerning my parts - including some statements concerning estimated prices...
i can´t tell you right now where the Egress-parts will be with there costs, but i will let you know before i´m ordering them...


have FUN

Hi Markus,
I have broken them often where the lower kingpin bolt goes through the upright. 
I hope that helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks!

out of interest Otto, what are you using for the mould material (I would say that they are lost wax, but that would mean a wax stereolithe!), and are you using gravity feed or pressure?  Cause the parts look amazing
