Detail Masters website (http://www.detailmaster.com/)

Detail Masters hood pins are awsome, they are fantastic, a little bit of pain to get placed right but when finished they look awsome. about 10.99 for a set that will allow you to do at least 20 models. both in 1:24 and 1:25

Yes, Detail Master pins are awesome. Sakatsu makes some beautiful but painfully expensive hood pins but they are not like the ones above (more like what you would find on a JGTC car), and Renaissance makes a set like Sakatsu's that are much cheaper but not nearly as nice. HLJ and racingresin.com will have the Sakatsu parts, and the only place I've seen the Renaisance parts is at scaleracecars.com.

Detail Master are a PITA to put together. But look awesome once assembled.

WoW !

Sakatsu are 5$ for a 1 set ? they try to rip us off !

If you saw the part, you'd understad why. The are incredible. I have a few sets for my JGTC NSX.

How about the Racing 43 one ? are they hard ?

also, Detail Master, how hard are they ? I mean, working for 1 hours on a single seatbelt don't hurt me, are they hard to make, or take long time to make ?

Modeler's makes a good set of hood pins. You get a wide variety of pins to choose from. Not too expensive either, 1200yen.

here's detail master, 25 piece set, plus the pins, and the wire, they can also be functional if the kit has an engine. usually takes about 15 minutes to put together one, took me and hour to put them on a AMT Eclipse and I made them functional

do you have Picture of your Eclipse ?

Btw EHobbies is a real joke, they ask 39.99$Us to ship this small 6$ PE set to Canada.. They are just stupid..... :screwy: :lol: :cwm27:

bump ?

no I don't have a picture, and I just used Ehobbies for the pic.

btw here is the ticket from Ehobby (not sure if you can see it)
http://ehobbies.supportclient.com/tickets.php?ticket=14396B1707EF

They closed it without answering..

Anyway gasman03, since you don't have pics of your work (sadly) how would you calify you as a modeller ? (to know if I can make those small pins, if I can find them)

and anyone know where I can find any of them with a shipping price reasonable ? I don't want to pay 30$ shipping for a small PE sheet !!!

Try places like scaledreams.com, I don't remember seeing them there but they carry a lot of Detail Master parts, so they probably do have them. I can't for the life of me remember where I got mine from, but I've had them for a while and wouldn't be surprised if I got them from there... I think Detail Master also has a direct order site, anyone know the address?

yes they have, http://detailmaster.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc

but the web site is so horribly made, I just don't trust them for credit card.. and they charge 7.99$ for the shipping (when it actually cost less than 1$ !)
