It’s been a long time

[jackntbox]

Hello everyone,
It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been able to get back to 1/6th. I was here on this board quite a bit back in the early days selling bits and pieces of stuff but a whole lot of life got in the way and I had to pack everything up and put it in storage. I’ve moved 5 times since then and I’ve finally been able to get all my stuff together in one place again. I’m excited to be back in 1/6th and I’m happy to see this board still up and running. I have a lot of 1/6 stuff I’m sorting through and would probably be up to offering up some things for sale. What I am doing is getting back into manufacturing 1/6 items and I’m excited to say that I will be starting up a toy company called Action Jack Toys that will offering 1/6th scale motorized, finely detailed figures and vehicles that function and look like the real thing. Looking forward to showing you all my results. Thank you and have a nice day.

Warmest regards

Jack Yang

Welcome back. The landscape has changed a bit since then. Seems to be less of us around these days, but we do get newer members into the hobby from time to time.

Yes I did! It was a good time and wish to make some more things. I think I still have some of that inventory left over.

Welcome back Jack

Thank you so much. I missed this group very much.

Welcome back!

That's a wide range of parts and vehicles and must be taking up a lot of time to put this all together. The quality looks great and looking forward to having a supplier of your caliber as a new source for parts and vehicles.

Thank you for liking the quality of my work! I’m devoting all of my time to this. I got really fed up with wanting things in 1/6 and not having anyone make a good quality version that can not only be detailed but hold up to terrain. I am a stickler for detail and at this scale there’s just no excuse for vehicles to have details not function. The type of resin I’m using is the key to the whole thing. It has a very long pot time (13-14mins) and when combined with a certain amount of atomized aluminum powder it creates the most amazing durable resin that looks like metal. The specs on the material are:
Linear Shrinkage: 0.0002 in/in
Heat Deflection Temp.: 173°F
Tensile Strength: 5,850 psi
Flexural Strength, 5% Strain: 6,900 psi
Compressive Strength: 8,800 psi
With this I can cast just about anything and have it hold up to wear and tear. If it gets scuffed it looks like scuffed grey metal instead of yellow resin underneath. I’m excited to show you all the things I’ve made. I was in the middle of making quite a few different vehicles when I had to take a break. Now I’m back and I have all the stuff and time to finish what I started.

Jack,
A while back I purchased a couple of your German food containers. I really liked them. Didn't you also make USA food containers?

Hi Bob yeah that was me. I never got around to making the USA food containers though. Would there be any interest in those if I made them?
