SC Miller Resin?

[BTK]

I was bored looking through eBay and found a collection of old resin castings from SC Miller. I don't recall ever hearing of the guy, but I haven't been in the hobby that long. Maybe you guys would find it useful, maybe not. Some really weird cars to cast, you can tell its "antique", maybe some of the more "seasoned" gentlemen on here know this stuff.

I remember seeing his products when he had a space at the Carlisle swap meets in the early Eighties. That was back when you could get decent promotionals there...of course they were only a few years old back then...

I believe that his stuff was all slush cast.Pressure casting has made that form pretty much obsolete for doing anything more than a single part for personal use.

I saw those...looked pretty rough.

SC Miller was one of if not the first to do home casting of model cars. I believe he used polyester resin instead of the now common polyurethane resin. As was said above his stuff was all one piece mold slush cast. He did a lot of interesting subjects. He died a number of years ago. Even if not to build his models were an interesting part of model car history.

I only have the fortune of owning one of his products . I would buy more , cash flow prevents this from happening . I am happy with my one and only ;

Needs some TLC to gett to this stage .. The body process is Slush Cast . I just painted the windows black . Thanx ..

Skylar, you made a comment in another thread that the Bandit Malibu kit was a bit rough, so you definitely don't want to get involved with this one. Ten times as rough. The resin casting practices back in the 1980s were very crude.
