I can't keep my mouth shut.... it's going to be an Argo, Kraco, and Shierson chassis. Sorry Calvin, I couldn't keep it in any longer.

OR …. Possibly a March 761…. Lots of sponsor variations On further review .. 761 is not within the correct era Kinda right 🤷 I've been trying to guess what you meant by "Kinda right". I keep on thinking it has something to do with March cars and I'm wondering if you might be doing the 6 wheelers March and Williams

Never mind, I switched to Tamiya sprays, which have their patented hair repellant built in.

No they don't. They magnetically attract Golden Retriever hair. I have proof.

Well, the first announcement is.... I've been learning 3d drawing and printing for the last 9 months and improved enough to start feeling comfortable in replacing my need for white metal on my full indycar kits. Indycals and myself have got this 3d printing down to a science. So with that said, for the first time in 11 years, I will be re-issuing the 1984 March/Penske March/Mayer March kits with new upgrades over the origin Resins. I actually don't think anyone ever got a Mayer March kit from me or not 11 years ago(?) So it might be 100% new. No more white metal as if the settings and process is done correctly the 3d parts are strong enough for the job. 3d parts don't bend very much like white metal. White metal has its place in the hobby, but in order for me to grow in this hobby it was time to move on and grown in a new space which is WAY cheaper than getting white metal parts done. Which will mean I can keep my prices down and produce kits faster. I'll be able to produce two 3d parts sets in one hour. (Takes me one hour to cast a complete kit) The only thing I'm doing with my kits is replacing the need for white metal, I will still be using the same resin for all the other parts, the resin I've been using since 2018 has been very good to me and everyone likes it as it's the easiest resin ive ever worked with and has proven reliability with treating paint jobs good and doesn't crinkle up 3 year old paint jobs like other resins. The next kit announcement should be a no brainer, after this. Lol The 3rd release will be the most exciting 🙃

Lol Yes, for this business to survive, I needed to get creative in cutting time and money wasted. From 2019 to 2021 I could literally sell anything at any price and it would sell, nowadays it's way harder as people have to put up with all this ridiculous inflation.

Out of the last 11 years the 1984 and 1983 Marches are the most requested to be reissued from people. I had intentions to re-issuing them sooner, but for some reason never got around to it lol 😆 I'm glad I waited as now was actually the best time.
I'm redoing a lot on the 1983 March as originally I never made that as a full kit, it was designed to be used with a 1988 AMT lola donor. Well nowadays I don't like donors and doing it as a full kit.
Eventually I'm going to make the 1977 Wildcat a full kit too. Probably might as well make the 1989 Penske PC18 full too.

I was never too interested in the early ‘80’s March Indy cars, I guess because I thought the Lola’s were much better looking. That being said, I’ve always wanted to build Little Al’s 1984 March. So, confessing that I don’t know or remember too much about the 1984 Marches (I’ve been waiting since then for a 1984 Lola), what is a Mayer March? The Sneva car? How was it different from the standard 84C and the car as raced by Penske? Any difference for the 84C raced by Galles?
Paul Erlendson
Is the Mayer car equipped with the enclosed rear bodywork?

But this is splendid news.
Thank you resin/3d meister.
