  1. me, i suspect in my case its an old computer as my other one is faster and loads everything.
  2. it got a few makeovers. the final version was rs2 blue on a set of chrome carlines with a full r32 swap including the 4x4. I prefered the hok brown on carlines though
  3. ford did some 4 door mk3 fiesta (in europe the hatch is counted as door if it opens into the passenger area so the ford escort would be a 3 or 5 door, while the near identicle orion is only 4 door as it has a trunk) as a concept in the early 90s. the yellow one is still in ford uks collection
  4. another vote for tamiya rubber black or you can print with black resin
  5. do you know the email address you used originaly and still have access to it?
  6. its an issue with some words. if it has computer type com and words you need to mis-spell or add spaces befoe it will let it post
  7. this type of scam isn't about the money. just replying shows you are succeptible and you'll be targeted after that. thats why they want you to email
  8. It was featured in Mike Key's hot bugs book too along with volksworld (i have it somewhere) and chrome and flames mags among others.
  9. i've edited your post and remind you no politics.
  10. they do, i'm using a hobby design version under a type 3
  11. the testors chezoom kit maybe?
  12. if you click the three dots on the top right of the post to report it, i can move it for you
  13. if your hobby shop has a train section have a look at the old fashioned street lamps. the tops from them could work or even dolls house lamps
  14. If you use the trade section the best advice i can give is trust your gut. And try to keep your messaging to the forum. scammers wont want to use the pm system as it saves the evidence so they will try and get you to use emails as its very easy to make them say they are from someone else. For example, if michael jackson emails saying he;s not really dead and needs $400 for recording time, that could very well be a scam (I chose that one cos i just read it elsewhere, lol)
  15. i believe pms can only be limited if the moderation is applied by us. I dont think it is applied to the auto moderation at the start of a membership. It may be it only happens when its a time limit moderation rather than the post count
  16. please report these posts so we can block them.
  17. the crewcab/dokka is available in 3d and the van panels to convert a bus. the different roof options are available too along with all the vw wheels and grille/light options. some parts need to be rescaled from 1/18
  18. The escort cosworth road car kit would also work. it was more sierra than escort so should fit
  19. We had out local club road run today. There were a few new cars to the island this time. The 54 vw bus and sprite are from one family and they have more stuff they didn't have drivers for today, including another early bus. I'm sure i have a magazine feature on the bus in my collection. For our visits this time we got to go onboard a former ww2 norwegian coaster that formed part of the shetland bus route in ww2 (worth reading about if you haven't heard of it) followed by a visit to the fossil museum and one of the gin distilleries. We had a good day out with some interesting destinations we haven't visited before. The modern mg is one of the last v8 cars before they went to china. There were even a couple of wooden sailing ship models at the fossil centre
  20. they do but the auto primers provide an extra layer of protection that prevents the crazing.
  21. I mainly use auto acrylics. The main reason is i can get them locally without having to find a supplier that will ship to the islands for hobby paints. There is a small range of tamiya available but its only about 10 colours and theres rarely any primer left. I also use some paints by war hammer for brushing but again its whats available local but i like them for metal tones or interiors. And i've got various different washes and effects from a variety of model companies. the majority of my large parts are duplicolour and recent mostly from the hdr range of ral colours as they are pretty good flake sizes for models
  22. theres some computer type co mand words that need spelling changed or spaces added. they seem to cause posts to not be found or get posted.
  23. margret est sphere is using the wrong word
