  1. i think you are on the right track but might need to do the pieces indivually rather than all at once. that way you could also follow the real trim for the pieces
  2. if you look for albion abrasives on amazon, they sell packs of mixed sheets between 240 and 12000 grit. decent quality and around a tenner. i got 6 sheets of each in my pack and i'm still using the first sheet of the finer grades
  3. try dave coleys emporium or kingkit. both stock us kits
  4. we do that for the first 25 posts to prevent spammers and try to catch scammers
  5. the previous oner obviously made the mistake of using the indicators once, that really messes up bmw electrics (or so i'm guessing from the fact i've never seen them used at junctions)
  6. no, and i'll take them one at a time. a competency test? that alone defeats the purpose of the forum, which is to promote and grow the hobby. what if the person is joining to find out how to start modelling? besides that if they found the site then they can obviously use google. how do you think most of us arrived at the site the first time? most existing members have proved their worthiness and we're not about to ask members to prove their worthiness, we moderate the first 25 posts for that. spelling errors leading to suspension is just a stupid idea. we have members from all around this planet, many of whom are ESL, and members from other english speaking countries and many of the same words are spelled differently in each country so which one do we use? i'm in scotland so if i was to use that for allowing posts every american post would need rewritten, but we're mostly adults here and as long as its ledgible i'm going to allow it. besides all that, the amount of extra work that would cause the admin team is ridiculous and we do want time to build models too. we're here to promote this hobby, not be the gatekeepers to a secret society. if thats what your looking for maybe the goat hoose (freemasons) would be more to your liking
  7. theres an ebay shop/seller called amodeller that carries a lot of stuff and you have the parts box, both in Australia. i've used both and been happpy
  8. ahem, cough cough!
  9. poorly repaired original minis tend to have differing wheelbases. its one of the easy tells for accident damage
  10. if you have a 3d printer theres a nice free file for the dunlop rims
  11. Folks, when you get these pms please report them using the 3 dots. we cant see your pms unless you report them. by all means warn other members but remember the 3 dots. they make it much easier for us, thanks
  12. they are banned
  13. i still think buying the admin team lamborghinis is overkill, an rs6 would do me
  14. use the 3 dots and report it to us. just posting about it means we have to look for it but if you use the 3 dots its right there in front of us. also, the named members aren't involved. the scammers search for dormant account names to use
  15. I, like many of you, have multiple builds on te go at a time. Some full detail, some curbside, some mostly box stock and some where everything has been changed and they are from various sub genres. At the moment i'm n a mk3 golf kick (my fav car) so i have 2 of those ongoing and 2 more waiting but i also have rods, racers, kustoms and muscle cars to pick up when i feel like some variety. I always have music on when i build too as well as a slide show of cars in similar styles for inspiration playing on the laptop.
  16. just a thought but could you use the holden part number at gm? if i can order vw sausages at my local skoda dealer, surely gm will have parts
  17. if you're getting up twice a day you're doing it wrong
  18. if you want to see whats in it, @iamsuperdan has a build thread
  19. i sent some stuff on friday and it was delivered yesterday. i didn't know they did sunday deliveries now
  20. we use the time
  21. just playing
  22. theres one in th trade section just now
