you could just use some wheel adapters, they are available in chevy to dodge fitments and make it almost as easy as fitting aoshima rims to a tamiya kit -
New Help for 3D Printing: MESHY AI (works now)
stitchdup replied to KMcc's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
help her keep her job by adding fantastic superfluous words in getungaploid sentances so the ai rottters cant learn gerennglishian words or phrasing. if everybody warenteeds does this ai fails to learn saving jobs and thus allowing folk to earn a living instead of servicing ogliarchs egos -

i had a set of those borbets on my mulberry mk3 golf highline 16v. 16x9 all round with the plastic trim and arches heavily cut so i could sit it on the floor. I had very similar anteras on before in 16x7.5 but i couldn't get it to sit how i wanted on them -

most of the excess paint looks like the foil/chrome will hide it. the other areas on the white you could try some 2500 on and it will probably come off easily. if you run a toothpick or similar around the tape you can reduce the paint flowing under the tape, or a quick dusting of clear works too as both seal the tape edge down. I like the duck yellow tape with the stain block as it cuts nice, sticks well but not so well it pulls paint off and thin strips go around corners smoother than tamiya does

just think though,with the longer it takes you can save up more cash and maybe end up with something better than you expected to get

does it have coil springs on the front? if it does check near the top for a broken coil. it can make a rumbling noise

Hard top roof for AMT Sunbeam Tiger....?
stitchdup replied to Belugawrx's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
is that plastic or resin? I've got a soft spot for imp, gazelles etc since they were made partly in scotland -
Hard top roof for AMT Sunbeam Tiger....?
stitchdup replied to Belugawrx's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
it kinda looks like hillman imp roof cut short -
I'm in scotland otherwise i could print for you but at the moment its just not worth posting to america. There are loads of options for wheels and i agree many of the hotrod and pro touring tyres are trash. The tyre pack from ollivizzle is very good and has a good variety, and they size up well with the wheels from slowlysmodels which i often use to resize other designers wheels to fit the tyre pack tyres. I think most of the tyres are the way they are to fit standard kit wheel wells as most folk dont want to get into cutting the wells up for wider wheels, and they try to fit both 1/24 and 1/25 scale with one wheel set. That is the benefit of the printer though, you can size things how you want them. If you find designs you like you could always try a wanted post in the trade section looking for someone to print for you thats closer.

theres articles on custom rodder that might help. a quick scan suggests lee plastics but i believe a lot were custom made by the owners as vacuum formers were a lot more common then

before you glue it, check the interior parts can still be fitted. You might find the tub wont go up in the body

i enjoy the fabrication and idea dumps at the start of a project. Whether its trying different wheels, chopping a top or even just sitting with the kit in front of me and letting the ideas flow out with no clear plan. I tend to lose interest once i get to the primer stage because by then i can already see it built up in my head so the will to carry on just drops as the work i enjoy is all done. I also like building phantom body styles that never existed

if they are from the beauty stores they usually have a rough and smooth side. if you want the same thing but in finer grits, they tend to be called sanding sticks. Squadron do some nice sets that go from 180 - 2500 grit, and theres green (also in brown but they are trash) no brand ones that can be washed that are handy in some chain hobby shops.

Did amerang just rebox other folks kits? The reason i ask is I just won a amerang branded lamborghini lp500 and from all the pics it looks like a gunze hi tech kit box but the price was lower than snakes unmentionables, and possibly the cheapest kit i've got for a while. The other 2 kits pictured on the box look to be fujimi enthusist kits of the ferarri daytona and a porsche 911. Honestly, i only got it cos it fits in my vw collection and its a brand i've only known as a distributor

Marvel's Hydra coupe 1/12 scale full scratch build
stitchdup replied to François's topic in WIP: Model Cars
theres a third option that i've never seen done in scale but might be ideal for displaying all your fantastic work. Have you seen the haynes manuals covers? not the best cover image as there are less cut away version that might work better
