  1. german grey is actually green as i recently found out. the cab is weathered but the headboard on the deck isn't yet
  2. No politics, some of you just have to push it dont you
  3. please drift the subject away from elections before someone gets carried away
  4. I can see me buying the tipper version to use with the chevy. It seems to match real ones I've seen online best
  5. More weathering. I used real dirt for the tyres as my powders and washes had no effect on them. I scrubbed them but they just wouldn't take it so i ended up making some mud and then mashing the tyres into it in my fist and i mean it looked like i was trying to destroy the tyres. The treatment they got would have turned tamiya tyres to dust but since i have more kits, and one is getting a wheel swap i took the chance. I also tried an alternative body on the chassis which is pretty close to fitting. I've got more washes to do on the fenders and they are just loosely together for the pics
  6. if its car from after 73 its french blue
  7. I'll bring it to Daves attention
  8. ok so the truck with 17 tubos doesn't look like it powers the engine. Its powering a lot of airhorns
  9. i just enter the link in the normal text box to get it
  10. do you get the black line of text? and is it the same as this? it might just be the wrong bit selected
  11. they need to do an ev cop car called the tazer
  12. tee-gwa-n
  13. amt tri 5 chevy glass might work since the vent windows are usually molded in. Should give a bit extra glass to play with
  14. My grandad would have said he can write and has paint so why pay somebody else
  15. I'm not sure what it is but something about the blue 50s chevy has caught my attention possibly the rarest car at sema this year for me the ring brother messed up when they fitted an ls to the aston, one for Dan ali zee not my taste but if i had to pick one it would be the white one 2 I love this 6 take another look at this mazda and a cool pic to finish
  16. The interiors on all of them are the same and not very nice really, as are the wheels. the body and chrome is good though
  17. you're using some words that cause posts be rejected. the words we know are s e l e c t, d e l e t e and u p d a te but theres probably more we dont know yet
  18. Just add diecast to your trade title and be clear you're looking for a diecast. Folk have traded magazines amd air brushes before. Just be sure to report the inevitible my friend has that part when you get them please so we can boot them.
  19. Its SEMA time and i'm sure over the next few days we're gonna see some crazy cool and crazy eh? builds so i thought it could be fun to show some. Add your own if you want cos i'll be adding more. Heres one that popped up yesterday that i firmly put in the eh? category
  20. I got the paint mostly done. Its all tamiya spray cans with, unusually for me, no primer. I also found out german grey is actually green so the main body is now green. All the black is rubber black as its all i had. The weathering is a mix of revell pigments, ammo dry brush rust and tamiya paits. The wood deck is brush painted but needs more dirtying. The cab sign writing is hand done with my grandads name and address, and because of the green paint i've given it painted over military markings using the same green paint shade as the house doors as thats what he would have done. Since he did so many jobs on the island i'm going to add some details related to those jobs. The intention is to have the truck represent grandad taking his used tractor home from the steamer (cargo boat). I've also stuck some parts on the tractor but didn't take any pics
