stitchdup Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Does anyone have up to date contact details for bestmodelcarparts? I would like one of their hebmuller conversions but the website is just an empty template Quote
Miatatom Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Looks like they're on eBay and Facebook. Quote
Bucky Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I've been getting gauge decals from him on eBay for quite a while. Nice stuff. Quote
SfanGoch Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 The only resin on his ebay page are the Corvair Rampside, '50 Olds Wagon and 1957 VW OVAL WINDOW SUNROOF RESIN CONVERSION . No Hebmuller conversion, though. Quote

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 His resin listings change occasionally, apparently as he casts stuff to fill demand. I've been very happy overall with his parts and kits. His Corvair rampside pickup, for example, is about as good as resin gets when it's not a copy of vintage styrene parts. He does a split-window Bug too, by the way. Quote
Tom Geiger Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I saw something on Facebook today... Okey Spaulding will have a few copies of some of his kits at the final NNL Nationals this coming weekend. He will have a number of the Corvair pickups, and a sprinkling of a few other kits. Someone asked him if he'd sell now, and he said to contact him for whatever is left over after the show. Quote

I need both an oval and a split-window. Quote
Tom Geiger Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 I have his 1950 Olds wagon. Wonderful piece, Modelhaus quality! Quote

I saw Mike at the NNL show in Chatsworth, CA, right after he released that Olds wagon in May 2014. I was buying the Olds kit, and Mike explained how he created the master for the wagon. It was mind-boggling. He's a real perfectionist, and pointed out a couple of kit parts he modified until they looked exactly right. Wish I could remember what those parts were. But they had nothing to do with a '50 Olds. He and his family used to hit all the model shows in the Los Angeles area. They were really nice people and I always enjoyed visiting with them. He had a young daughter who was already building models, and already doing incredible paint jobs. That was probably genetic... Quote
carrucha Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I bought his 1951 Chevy wagon kit a few years ago. Very impressive casting. Modelhaus quality casting. Edited November 24, 2019 by carrucha Quote
stitchdup Posted November 25, 2019 Author Posted November 25, 2019 Appologies for the dark pics but i have a lot of trouble getting pics of white resin so this was the best i could do. I have included a tamiya body with the oval so all the changes can be seen. The heb will be getting a 356 engine from firerods and possibly some highlight model studio bomber seats and scale production 17 inch 356 rims for an outlaw porsche theme Quote
sfhess Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Michael and his wife were at the Sprit of Speed show earlier this month, selling kits and other products. Quote

89AKurt Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Just wanted to say he has super service! I needed just wheels for my GSL Beetle, and he helped me out. He had just relocated, so was not active at the time. Quote
