  1. a couple of places have them reduced just now on ebay. the boxes are pretty packed too so they wouldn't even reduce much out of them. i'm enjoying the one i'm building
  2. there will be words in your post causing the rejection. s e l e c t, d e l e t e, u p d a t e, and maybe some otgers
  3. theres a few words that cause posts to rejected. Dave lists them in this thread
  4. my sister has has a pretty nice shade of red on her focus. its close to fire engine red but with a touch of orange pearl
  5. my grannies toilet suite was that colour. it really matched the purple carpet
  6. nail art striping tape. its like rolls of 1mm bmf in various colours and very cheap. can be safely cleared over with auto paints too
  7. we had to reduce the edit time. scammers were using it to add trash later
  8. i dont see why copywrite holders are worried....
  9. i think you need to add some strength/support above the front wheels. removing the bay looks like it allowed the top edge of the fender to move whereas before it held the fender in place. i'd try making a hidden brace for under the fender out of something a little firmer than styrene
  10. pat on the head sounds good until you realise its from a cow
  11. does it work if you turn it off?
  12. That would be better suited to a drag car. This one is more pro touring https://icemancollections.com/products/4-link-rear-suspension-dropped-custom-pro-touring-w-ford-9-axle
  13. I got the chassis mostly painted the other day. Unfortunatelly 2 steps later there were a couple of parts more to add which i missed seeing when i checked the instructions. I've also got the interior together and it pretty much snapped together and most parts could have been done without glue. The cab is also together after needing some heavy mold lines removed and i sanded around the doors before fitting them but could have done a little more as i still had to rescribe them after gluing them on. I'm also part way through assembling the bed but i found i didn't trim the sprue nubs back enough so there are small gaps along the edge. I only have a couple of small parts left to add to the interior part and it will be ready to spray but i think i'll be brushing the bed as i think it will look more correct for the build and possibly easier to get the aged look on the bed.
  14. another day, another emhar bedford. only the tipper left to get but it doesn't interest me much. This i got for the chassis and front end so i can try doing an old bus. The kit provides the correct chassis for the bus bt the body from the screen back will be scratched. I have some great engineering drawings of the side profile so it might not be too bad. The leftover tank and its base will be added to my old shed dio as a lot of them ended up that way
  15. This car was the first to have many features we get today. It has a lot of old electronics that were custom mad for it. The styling isn't to my taste but i think it looks like this
  16. I'm building the emhar bedford and i've hit a snag with the bed floor. Its a wooden top but is there steel under it? This era is 40 years before i was born and finding reference isn't easy. I'm close to painting it so any help is appreciated
  17. the wheels aren't nice. Either the holes are too small or the rim is too thick but they look off
  18. "out of the black and into the red" was a common phrase on bullseye
  19. you could put the can in a poly bag before you puncture it. then you can cut the corner off the bag to pour it
  20. more city to city Pat, we called it the flying shoebox
  21. until the mid 90s they used the longer version of these for our national flights.flying on one was a truly miserable experience
  22. cadillac northstar on dubs, lol
