Here is a shot of mold boxes filled with old molds cut up into 1/4 inch chunks. The two big boxes have 1/43 scale vehicles in them. Even using all the old cut up molds it still took 900 grams of new rubber to fill all the molds today.

For the last year I have been stalemated with the Cutter molds. We have something in the neighborhood of 65 different molds with poor or no markings on them as to what the are. To make a long story short, yesterday I loaded them all into my little cart and took them over to Jerry's house and explained my perplexity to him. So Jerry spent all day yesterday marking each and every mold with the mold number and what it is. Then we over to Office Depot and bought a rolling set of storage drawers to keep all the molds in. They are now stored in numerical order in the drawers so we now can cast any piece at any time. We have put together the five outstanding orders that five of you have been waiting a long time for. Being as Jerry now has the molds and the finished pieces, he is in the best position to fill special orders. I will be putting pieces that we do have packaged on eBay. While I was Jerry's yesterday, here is what I saw up in the tree:

The idea of PMing Jerry to order any of the Cutter's material has been working out very well so far. He is the one that has all the finished castings and bags them along with the correct wheels. Then he gives the order to me for packing and mailing. Everyone to date has been happy with both the product and the packing, which is all we could ask for. ;D

At the request of others, we have modified the bus and started making the mold today. We should be ready to cast it next week. Here is a picture of the "new" master: The tear drop on the side and the five stripes next to the headlights have been removed. The windows have been corrected. And the headlights have been hollowed out for a jewel.

Here is the latest listing of what we have. If you want anything on the following list, PM Jerry as he is the one who packages everything. Number 58 is $15.00 and not $8.00 because of the roof rack. Postage is over and above the prices listed below. Here is the 800 (finished) and the 801 (kit) which I will be putting on eBay shortly.

I started playing a little cat and mouse game on eBay. The first auction for a CMC 801 bus was listed yesterday. Within 24 hours there was a bid so I have started a second auction today. By using the auction method instead of the Buy it Now, we get the full seven days of "advertising". There will be a new listing placed every time there is a bid. Not bad for the middle of August. In the description mention is made of 87scale.info in hopes of getting more members to this site. ;D

Hello,
I'm new to this board and am very interested in purchasing some of the Cutter's cars.....however, I can't seem to find any info as to how one purchases these cars....
Except this: "If you want anything on the following list, PM Jerry as he is the one who packages everything." Who's Jerry? Is there an email address for orders?
Thanks! Charles

Dear Charlie:
Welcome to the Forum.
Jerry is one the members from this forum, so he can be reached by PM. As explained, these can be acquired at eBay and more info is given at the Member Area - Tradezone entries.
Good Luck,
Nick K

Charles Hello Charles, Jerry is spending a long weekend with his girlfriends. He should be back sometime tonight or tomorrow. I will ask him to get in contact with you. We are finding that using the PM (personal message) on this message board is working out very well for everyone. Emails can and do get lost at times. Watch your personal message counter at the top of the board.

My saying that I was going to play a cat a mouse game on eBay just might have been the wrong saying. It would seem that I just might holding a tiger by the tail. I put two more buses up for auction yesterday and they have been bid on already. So today I put four more up for a total of eight. Over to Jerry's tomorrow to do some serious casting. ;D

My dear fellow message board members: If you can read this, you can by anything that Cutter's makes just by PMing Jerry
Two of you are bidding on the buses and you do not have to.
For general information on postage: The last two packages to Europe cost $8.80 A bus to Canada cost $1.98 Up to four cars can be mailed within the US for $2.00

I'm finding that Cutter's is not a household name among the HO models. One of the bidder's on eBay ask me where I found the bus kit that we have up for auction. I don't know how to make it any clearer in my auction description. Any suggestions??
