i let my mind wander and it hasn't come back

its not the last woody, its just a faster foody

the half top was in later issues. originally it was a full chopped carson top. heres th contents of th first issue

i would use one of the usual hinges and just glue some small blocks to the door. they just wouldn't have the strength to open more than once if done in scale and would be difficult to keep square. if they aren't square they'll just bind up and tear out of the body

you could do a two tone instead of the stripes. it might suit the car better and there seems to be a fe options

you could try the double sided tape they use to fit new phone screens. you can get it down to 0.5mm wide in clear and black. Its not cheap (around $20 for a 10 metre roll) but its plenty strong. one of my friends uses it to hold the headlights on his rc hotrod and he beats on that thing hard.

You would probably be better using the clear pearl. The only time i used the white pearl i found it took a lot of paint to get it to cover grey primer and until it was covered it looked blotchy rather than even

saw a dodge demon with the wide arches running around today and a mk4 golf with a vr5 (we didn't get the vr5), and a new shape caddy van in lamborghini orange wrap on bags and rotiforms. also a couple of italian registered 70s merc(ede)s with vintage caravan behind them

I got stuck behind what we call a static caravan on the road between wick and thurso in caithness in the scottish highlands. Normally it would have been an easy overtake but the caravan was swaying from side to side a lot so i didn't want to take the chance. When it eventually pulled in i found it was being towed by a mk3 ford fiesta and the rear wheels of the car were off the ground. The scariest part was the dutch registration plates

these all seem a little large, how about a few smaller ones? I've seen one on a reliant robin too but i cant find the pic

i think thats the first tractor i've seen with hubcaps still on. on this side of the pond we just didn't use them abd if they were fitted the farm cats and dogs got a new feed bowl.

the ral code for fendt green is 6160. any paint shop can mix this as its a base colour. the manufacturers will give it their own code and name but the ral code is consistent between manufacturers

a designer on cults called cosplayitemsrock has multiple pulling truck versions. everything from a school bus to a tractor with loads of variations

sorry about the poor pic but its near the bottom of a stack and not easy to get at. the thing is available as a 3d print

have a look on kingkit Pat. They're probably your best bet i the uk as they stock used kits too. the salvage section is good for parts kits too

I like the icm kits but they do have some very minor flaws. I'm currently working on the opel sedan and I've found some parts are too delicate. for example theres a piece of trim for the body that is near impossible to remove in one piece. it has a connection at each end thats bigger than the part along with an ejection blob in the centre. the part is a piece of body trim and even using a very fine tooth pe saw it just takes it to bite once and the part is destroyed. and the instructions are a bit hazy in places where they really need to be clearer (the cowl fit for example). None of its enough to put me off their kits though and with this being a model a the flaws of the opel shouldn't appear on this due to the way the body fits the fenders (note, most of my build problems have been due to me assembling the body too early). I think we might get a model aa from icm next in probably civilian and first responder versions as it would tie in with the model ts they did.

influencable and gullible mean the same thing in modern times

you could try archiatectural suppliers. they use larger sheets when they build their models but it may not be plastruct or evergreen,

well, that was unexpected. i thought the hok pagen gold pearl over black would give me brown but instead its given me an almost green gold but once the clear and foil is done it should look ok.

The wind finally changed direction so i got some paint on. It looks like i need to give some another coat as my first paintjob is showing through. I first painted it metallic brown and butternut yellow and it turned out great, i just hated how it looked and didn't want to do the yellow in gold so i shot the whole thing with duplicolour grey pearl. if the weather plays nice i'll get pagen gold on in the morning.

they look to be original artworks, the folds look old with the discolouration

your probably better to get some already orange clear sheet and cutting your own from that. its going to be a chore trying to get the paint to lay evenly on the glass as it has nothing to bite onto so will jusr run.

i've got a feature on that car but he builders previous car was cooler

looking forward to this, looks like its going to be double the price of the old one though

wow, someone did use trigonometry after leaving school
