Supposedly, the parts kits she bought was on her own dime and not through a co-op that we had... Shipping charges on some of those parts was expensive to say the least. Could've been in the $20-$30 range alone, just for shipping. The Peko shell she bought was at least $70 each with shipping... I don't think $120 was really out of the ballpark... I could be wrong though...

Not a fact MH, leave it at that

Gdeal I washed all the parts with soap nothing changed. The dirt or dark marks like you see below:



Did not go away as well as the long vertical dark streak. Just letting you know that these seems as a burst of extra paint or something on all the edges that became too dark. It's like a spray paint that has gone bad lol.

Either ways I'm not disappointed. It will still go well with the brown :).

Time for some alkyd lacquer on this beige one. It will give it extra yellowing. Will post pics when assembled.

To be honest Aal, I have a few of this color, and that's about as good as it gets

I cannot draw so maybe if I drove down by graffiti town and stood around a bit my peko would get all colored up and scribbled on to the max!...lol.when ppl have that talent idk how they cant get some sorta artsy job.my BIL has an ice carving shop so may go down there an see if one of the fellas(1 employee is also a vaper) can hook my peko up.he will prolly flip when he sees it for sure.



That was me Rick! I graffiti'd my first Peko. I use to work in a tattoo shop and specialize in letters and graffiti. It takes time to learn but hey if you can draw, you can learn to Graffiti.

What shipping method does Sculpteo normally use? Mine says it's set as NDA Saver. I assumed it would be Ground or something.
Mine was shipped from France (sculpteo) with UPS and it was regular shipping both times and I got my orders 6 or 7 days after I placed the order. So actually it only took 3 days to get from France to Pennsylvania!! That's awesome isn't it!?

Okay so after I buy all of the parts that need printed what else do I need? I have a Reo so I have the basic understanding of it..
Your right J, McMaster Carr is ridiculous. But Shepard.. after you buy the print you need a parts kit... and well, good luck with that until maybe one day we can buy parts all in one place!

For $6.50 you bet it is. Freakn McMaster Carr is only 150 miles from me, those buttheads charge $12 for a tiny box of screws. They have no concept of trying to save their customers money on shipping.

McMaster-Carr specializes in a lot of stuff they sell and their freight charges also include a handling fee, thats why its so high. They used to charge whatever the UPS chart showed for freight on your package and then a separate line had the handling charge. A lot of people didn't care for and complained about the handling fee so they combined it into the freight cost. Probably 90% of their business is UPS. If you will call parts you will see just the handling fee. They do have some of the lowest prices out there and it all evens out in the end. You should see their warehouses... The one in California is a small city.
