  1. I don't hide anything I buy from my wife......I just don't voluntarily reveal the purchases until she catches up with me Deleting PayPal receipt e-mail notifications on our shared address is purely innocent and really just housekeeping Got a Williams FW07 1/20 Tamiya this morning from Australia...been looking for a while
  2. Woah some cool kits in there....not healthy yo my wallet
  3. It is a bit frustrating posting photos and text in the new site, especially multiple pics into text as it doesn't let you scroll correctly and add stuff. Ah well, first world problem. I do like the direction you are headed with this sweep, if only as it will resemble the much cooler and less stuffy Bugatti T50 that I just so happen to own now Now go away Englishman before I taunt you a second time....French guys in Monty Python reference there
  4. Made one of thee as a kid, found it on E Bay after rough work day so treated myself
  5. Super clean build so far, looks good, great paint
  6. Nice clean build, very realistic Have been eyeing up a neighbours's red MRkI as possible first car for my son.....fixer upper mind you your model looks better!!!
  7. Those are both beauties Curtis...what kits are they??
  8. Good advice, something I do with every kit I buy....it has some meaning or connection for me Hi Skip
  9. Awesome !!! Great job bringing that to life
  10. I am sure the coyote is underneath that
  11. Looks great Gotta dirty up those dune buggy wheels!!!
  12. Thanks for that link, have it bookmarked, that engine is gorgeous. Sorry to deviate your thread, Sean, I will shut up now
  13. Really coming together nicely, great work!!!
  14. Oh please, post away some pics...you are welcome to do it here if you don't want to start a thread Like to see what you have and we need more large scale builds
  15. Yep, I was just gonna say Rep&Min or HRM. Same thing sorta. Its funny, I've seen those engine kits go for like $100 were as HRM is asking less then 1/2 that. Give him a call, totally cool to deal with, him and Norm. I see on E Bay the Revival of Italy 1/20 250 motors in the $50 range...I have dealt with them before for a Bugatti kit, they make nice stuff in plastic and metal combo. what is HRM??? I can't find a reference for it
  16. I think my wife appreciates, on some level, this hobby of mine. I am every bit a family man, have few vices and she understands my hobbies insulate me from the work stress. I joke a lot about her when in reality she makes sure the credit card charge is valid, harrumphs a bit and moves on Dont worry Cato, you are safe absolutely agree. I will get the other Cd's corresponding to my cars as well
  17. Cool project, right up my alley will follow along You did a fine job on the TR engine details and paintwork on both Too bad for the 250 engine, it is a beautiful one for sure...maybe find one on E-Bay???
  18. Continued self indulgent posting of the Pocher collection. Next up the F 40 and its engine kit I purchased it assembled but it had an accident and obvious fall. I refurbished it a bit, but it needs a tear down, new paint, fix body panels and breakage of front clip Even so, she displays nicely in my office. All three Pocher engine kits, to be made and displayed alongside their model. I will have to get a separate Alfa Romeo engine as it is not done in this kit form...that is weird as the Alfa is the most beautiful engine of all of them. They are pricey on E bay
  19. I know it isn't a fair question, but what do you have a favorite Cobra???
  20. Awesome classic car built to perfection Nice job!!!
  21. Just done that last weekend with my family so I feel your pain. I packed and moved all my model and hobby stuff myself...including woodworking equipment just so no problems. Hang in there
  22. It definitely has a more rubbery, latex surface texture to it than other acrylics I have used. I am sure that sanding it would tear chunks out like crazy, especially on multiple coats. I got my little set as a gift and will use it sparingly, mostly those colours that go down well It certainly is not a cheap for such poor performance
  23. Good luck, I am hating that MC silver I tried
