Micromesh Vs Alpha Industries.
stitchdup replied to D.Pack's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
if they were more abrasive they wouldn't match the markings. are you changing direction when swapping to a finer grit? going in one direction just polishes the scratch while changing direction works to remove it. its like when you always take the same shortcut over grass, eventually a track forms -

Any idea on theme for the 2026 Cannonball
stitchdup replied to Wagonmaster110's topic in Community Builds
hows about going off paved roads? or the carrera panamerica route from anchorage to ushuala. a mix of surfaces and a section with no road whatsoever in the darien gap. its been done in a caddy hearse before. or there lots of songs about cars that could be a theme -
I think round 2 are missing a trick by not shipping kits direct to europe from china. there is a demand for them but if the choice is a £60+ amt reissue or a £35-40 revell reissue the revell will win 90% of the time. If they shipped them direct from china they avoid those extra fees as it never touched american soil. it opens up a revenue stream they seem to mostly miss now just due to price. the demand is there if you look at euro show pics but most of the american stuff is a revell kit

Tamiya 66' VW Beetle 1300 - Fitment Issues
stitchdup replied to Badge73's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I usually file a little from the body at the rear. The front doesn't look bad and once its painted it will have a better fit anyway, you just need to be sure the edge clears once the hinges are on. If they dont you'll need to bevel the rear edge of the front hood for clearance -

just like a display at the ultrace show -
dealing with ai help is horrible. even a stupid human would do a better job. i dont know what language it was trained in but it sure wasn't one spoken or known by living humans. since i got nowhere with that i thought i'd call the helpline which only had options for paying. live chat wasn't available so i've tried an email to their complaint section. there was another option for through the app but my phone is just a phone. i did mention in my email that maybe sacking the advisors was a bit premature and how awful they are to try to get help from. 2 days of this absolute time waste

Pearl Ex Powder Pigment
stitchdup replied to Chevy II's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
pigments should melt if you use the correct carrier as thats where they start making paints. if you look on the manufacturers website there should be a guide. -

somebody a while ago shred their idea of wearing an apron and pinning the bottom edge to the bench while you work. -
i'm having major issues just logging into mcm just now. i'm sure its my isp thats the problem as i've tried multiple browsers on both computers and can only connect if i use a vpn. i've cleared everything but the site still times out without a vpn. its only happening with mcm as every other site works fine. its very frustrating

1/20th Revell Fendt 728 Vario Gen7
stitchdup replied to Luc Janssens's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
hiduldae me, seems odd the box says 1/20 as i think that could cost them sales. it was putting me off from buying one anyway -
my vote is for street style with antera 3 spokes or a dimma kit. a spoiled kid had a turbo'd one locally until he wrecked it

Shopping psychology ('splain this to me, Lucy)
stitchdup replied to Monty's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
i'm one of those people at the end of a month. If I'm paying for my shopping with change and my card i dont want the added embarassment of people too and i'll queue up to avoid it -
2025 Cannonball Run - 50 years since the 1975 run.
stitchdup replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
I pulled this back onto the bench last night. I've turned an old barbie suitcase into a larger fuel tank that should be good for 700 miles in this. I used some printed parts to make themechanical fuel pump on top of the engine and this will be plumbed into the injection system, which will be connected to the front airdam. The engine has a 75% set back sp this should have great handling but it doesn't conform to any race series rules, for example i took the engine set back from drag racing but the body reinforcing is all rally car. I've started on some period body mods now while i fill the gaps and get ready for paint -
have you tried spot model?
