  1. took the masking tape off my gto and it took most of the paint above the front wheelarches with it. i
  2. nope, i removed it for bad language.
  3. got the base for the gto paint job on this morning. i'm trying to build it with a 70s theme crossed between the usa and japan. this will be in the hakosuka style with some american influence. the main paint is probably going to be purple flake
  4. i had to chase up a missing payment on paypal a few months back. the ai assistant was awful. even the simple question "where did you put the money from (payment id number) was too much for it to answer and there was no option for a human.
  5. I thought I'd build a japanese american crossover.
  6. any resin printer can do it. its just a case of mixing the resin before putting it in the tank the same way we mix paints
  7. if you dip the parts in HOT water the supports leave less marks. my tyres printed in black dont even need painted. the spare tyre on this isn't painted, just 85% black resin and 15% grey and its a great match for tamiya rubber black paint
  8. you could try dusting on primer but you'd need to be very light. i'd sand between each dusting with sanding sponges at 800 grit or higher and repeat until your happy. even just a light go with the sponges might work as they look worse than they really are. maybe even a dusting of filler primer but i'd try the sponges alone first
  9. Just a quick note to say editing posts will be time limited again. Unfortunately scammers are using it to come back later to add dodgy external links. We don't want anybody getting caught out so this is the best prevention at the moment. Sorry folks
  10. they built loads of those red bull minis. my aunt has one of the roofless ones in her mini collection
  11. i've got a maisto 59 impala in 1/12
  12. some fit specific cars but others are for those wild vans they build in japan. the square ones were used in the 70s
  13. apart fro the salt cars, thats how the are now
  14. I miss skating but my health prevents it now. It used to be that i worked all winter so i could skate the dry months. I still walk around puddles even now and see lots of places i'd love to skate. For me it was all about big tricks at high speed, even during the flippy days i still went hard and fast and i had a 7 mile skate to just get to town. I used to watch the vids of guys doing tricks over picnic benches so spent nearly a year bringing my pop up enough to do it myself but they did it off banks, i did it from the flat
  15. its mostly for colouring the lights but it can be used over other colours too. this is clear red over gold n silver
  16. theres a nice front suspension for printing that would help you. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/front-suspenson-set-for-1-24-1-25-model-kit
  17. hiroboy, davecoleysemporium, kingkit, kitsforcash, model-cars, kent models
  18. were those diverging diamomds designed by scalectrix?
  19. is the second version by digital surface?
  20. pics please? its something i've been thinking about getting
  21. well the first problem is they are all driving on the wrong side of the road, but the markings on the road dont help. the centre makings should follow the roundabout which makes it easier for drivers.
