never drink half a tin of red bull, it gives you wing

I'd replace them, most of my 90s tamiya tyres went hard then fell apart. If you plan to change the wheels anyway it might make it an easier swap

they hide it inside the alpha model kit site https://www.alphamodelkit.com/

there is a metal kit. i saw this one at a show but i know nothing else about it other than probably expensive and hard ti find. I base that on the guys other entries all being large scale euro cars. sorry about the poor pic, folk just kept pushing in the way so i grabbed a quick one as i had a boat to catch

glue a circle of p80 to the end of a pencil then twist it between your fingers keeping it centred. you can also put some on the sharp end to speed up the start, you can put it in a drill but it just gunks up. dont make the sand paper too big or it can damge the rim. i have tried cutting them by razor sawing through half the rim but i prefer sandpaper now as you can check fit as you go to nail where the wheel sits in the arch and i often add circles to the pins on taniya for the same reason. tamiya to fujimi is much simpler, evergreen have the ideal size tube for both sides .

I'd put it under the body style. if its car body put it under cars a pick up/van under light commercial and so on.

pie slices are useful when chopping our models

I haven't printed that model but i have done others by andrey. they print good but i feel the engines are a bit small and basic but most of us would change those anyway and the chassis are more toy like but he does cars you cant find anywhere else. There are other designers offering upgrades for some of his kits now too if you want a different build style.

try google, if you search as normal then click images it brings up loads of styles

with my luck they'd leave another

the alsa chrome is pretty much what they use on mirrors, but they call it silvering. it is available in the uk and you can see it used on the car sos episode with the jag xjs. I've been intending to contact the company shown to enquire about the possibility of doing model parts

I've been trying to GIVE AWAY a fridge. Plenty interest but nobody has turned up yet even after arranging a time to be home

my largest box is the twin heller fergie set with the book. its the same size as 3 large tamiya gt boxes laid end to end. the next largest is an airfix spit in 1/24

did you print it yourself? if so you can brush more resin on the back of some parts and cure it again. stick some tape on the back of any holes you need to fill and the same process works to fill them too

my tin of rose gold paint turned out to be flourescent pink.

theres a heap of the honeycomb wheels in 3d and the currently popular 8 lug wheels in various sizes on cults

if you look in the introduce yourself threads, theres a new member that does large scale printing but their name is escaping me just now

are they not both 1/24?

if you have access to a printer i found these parts the other day https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/CrazyCrank/ford-mustang-1965-fastback-1-24-scale

the chop was only to get the rear edge of the roof to line up with the body under the spears. if i'm right the nomad lower trunk has the same curve as the caddy body and should make blending the rear a easier job yo do

the volk te37 is pretty close to what your looking for and comes in loads of styles. aoshima and fujimi both do them in plastic or 3d resi has more style optios

them guys in the mirrorrrorrrorrr is talking about you

I would look at the amt kits if you want american. Their kits are older and tend to have less parts but once they are built you wouldn't know it. They are good kits to work with as you advance too. If you want japanese I would look at fujimi or hasegawa kits as they are probably most comparable to the amt kits. Once you feel happy there loads of other brands to try. As for tools a decent exacto knife is a must, so a cutting board would be useful and i would go a3 size or bigger, some small files (often called watchmaers or rifling files). i would have polystyrene glue and some clear part glue (most glues wreck glass so it takes other types often called canopy glue), various grades of sandpaper (you wont use under 240 grit very much so wet n dry is what i use) and sanding sticks. there are starter sets available but they tend to have the cheapest quality tools but if you shop around you should get everything for less than $30. I'm sure i've missed some items but someone will be along shortly to fill in the blanks

i'm not sure but there are tons on ebay
