Superb as usual Tulio! steve

RIP Harry steve

The coil spring on the front suspension driver's side breaking on my Peugeot Estate as I left for work. Got it to local garage, so there's a couple of days wait and a bill. All due to a lack of road maintenance according to my spanner man. Bah! steve

Top quality work. steve

Now that is a very fine piece of work. steve

Thanks for those. steve

Freebie And The Bean anyone? steve

Thanks all! I think I will be going wikth Bill's can idea. Soup tin probably. steve

Any recommendations on disposing of old X Acto blades? They're clearly too dangerous to throw in the bin. Thanks! steve

An excellent piece of work. The original (standard) car was regarded as a bit of a joke at the time here in the UK. This was due in part for the front end to become dangerously light at any sort of reasonable speed. Airfix used to do very basic 1/32 version and I built a couple in the 1960s. steve

The thing is, that car modelling mags are nonexistent in the U.K. Even Kalmbach's Scale Auto is invisible and there are NO UK equivalents. Add that to the lack of kit retailers it's a wonder there's a hobby at all over here. Before anyone says get a subscription, I don't always want everything in every edition. I prefer to view the actual publication to decide if I want it. steve

Dead right! steve

How about this from the 1960s TV programme Bewitched? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bewitched,+tv,+custom+car&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari#imgrc=Jowk-5LWu5IqMM: steve

Wouldn't say to one of them! steve

Ace. As usual steve

In 1967 there was a joke shop/fancy dress hire shop opened up in my old home town of Slough, by the brother of a famous British comedy magician called Tommy Cooper. For some reason he had a stock of AMT 1/25 car kits, several of which I bought after pestering my mother for the money. One I definitely remember buying (and building) was a '67 Corvair Monza Coupe. There was also a newsagent/sweet shop near where I used to leave that sold Pyro 1/32 scale cars and their 1/16 scale motorcycle kits. steve

if people did, lawyers wouldn't be so rich... steve

That's one potential typo that could have been much worse! steve

Found this on a model railway forum: http://speedsociety....a-train-blower/ steve

Really neat build of a fascinating car. steve

Like it. steve

You never fail to impress Tulio steve

Very smart! steve

Nice work. I had one of these years ago but never actually built it. I think I used it as spares. Pity really, if I came across one now I would build it. steve

I could live with a 1:1 of that '55 Nomad! steve
