[T3] Cartooned Type 3 Models

[John Jaranson]

If you follow any of the Type 3 Groups on Facebook or follow me, you may have seen the small cartooned Type 3 models I am casting.  I started this out as something fun for the auction at the Invasion, but there was enough interest that I made a bunch of them. 18 sets of four to be exact.  Well I am still going to keep 3 sets....one set for me, one set to be auctioned off as a set at the Invasion and one set to be auctioned off individually at the Invasion.

That leaves 15 sets for this initial batch.  I am going to offer them up for $25 each or $90 for a set of four....shipping included in the lower 48.  I am willing to break up the sets.  I have ordered small boxes for shipping.  I can custom paint them to match your car for an additional $25 each.

I will ship overseas, but obviously the shipping will be more and I will work with you on the final price for those orders.

The molds have held up well, so I could order more material for another batch.  I will see how this one sells.  It is $100 for a gallon kit of materials, so I am not going to order materials unless there is demand.  The gallon kit should make another 30 sets or so...assuming the molds hold up that long.  The second batch will all be molded in white as it is a little easier to work with and get the air bubbles out.

Please keep in mind that these are hand cast in silicone molds with lots of undercuts and such.  They all have minor defects due to trapped air bubbles.  They are not perfect...they have "character". <G>  As a result, some will be missing their outside mirrors or have small voids in the bumpers.

These are slightly bigger than a HotWheels car.  I have included one picture for size reference.  Here are some links to pictures of them…

If you are interested in getting one or more, please e-mail at john at carartbyjohn.com and let me know how many of which body style and a color preference.  White are obviously very limited for this batch.  First come, first serve.  I will respond with a total price and payment details.

If you want them custom painted, let me know and I will work with you to get reference pictures and colors and such.  These will take longer to get to you.

Posting on Facebook or the Samba will not get you a set.  I need to get an e-mail from you.  Thanks.

Later,
