skid896 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi, just getting into the hobby after building a Nissan Skyline for one of my young sons. Now I have 4 builds on the bench at the same time, Union models 1:20 Lamborghini Countach LP500, tyhe rest are 1:24 Tamiya Ferrari 360 spider, Fujimi BMW 635 csi and an AMT 1969 Fast and Furious Yenko Camaro which I am attempting to make into some kind of Street Fighter.Big fan of both JDM Japanese cars and Muscle cars from the USA plus European exotics and as a Dad, fast wagons which I know are more of a European trend than what you tend to get in the USA. I am enjoying learning from everyone else on the forums, thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skid896 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks for the welcome guys, I live in Yorkshire close to Leeds. I also have a 1:1 wagon that you can't get in the USA, the Skoda Octavia VRS Combi. Just wish someone would build a kit for these. rel14 I had to look up what a 54 Ford 2 dr ranch wagon was but that is an awesome classic to have, you are very lucky.

Anglia105E Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Welcome to Model Cars Magazine forum Paul, from a fellow model maker in Derbyshire, England. It's nice to see someone using ' England ' rather than UK David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skid896 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) 217 bhp Petrol of course Kemszi! Luckily I don't do a lot of miles so I can forget the mpg. Passat is a really nice car and bigger I also don't like the facelift on the new VRS. Guys thanks for the welcome, I am steadily picking up tips and trying out new ideas as I go along. Really enjoying keeping up with the builds people are posting. Edited November 30, 2017 by skid896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagercr Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I rented a Skoda the first time in Scotland a year ago and it was a very nice car. This summer I got a Ford Mondeo, which is a Fusion here in NA. The licensing is different over their. My daughter is allowed to drive an automatic on a Canadian D/L but has to take lessons to drive a standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
