my doctor told me if its not food you smell, then its best to wear a mask

revell have done 2. the unimog is the easier one to find but there was another based on a road truck (possibly MAN) and airfix had one in their bobcat range also based on a road truck.

c1-models have atranskit that would get you close to the land rover. it uses the recent revell kit

blink of an eye- documentary born to race, brabham, brock over the top, california kid, fast company, greased lightening, gung ho, hitlers supercars (audi and mercedes pre war) initial d live action movie and all 5 animated series (extremely well animated and puts the graphics in the nick cage gone in 60 seconds to shame but a lot of its subtitled), lady driver (for kids, herbie but modern) mclaren, american graffiti, more american graffiti, overdrive, queen of speed (michelle moulton doc) rev, shelby american, speed racer, snake and mongoose, superfast (fast and furious in the scary movie style) supergrid road to death, uppity the willy t ribs story, dukes of hazzard the beginning, and the autobiography tv show is good too featuring stories about the cars in place of the drivers

I dont have access to a printer so I'd be happy to trade some 3d printing for decals if anybody is interested

if you are in a well ventilated room with good airflow you should be ok but its better to be safe than sorry. those paper covid masks are no use, its best to have one that seals your nose and mouth as one, and replacable filters are a good idea, as is size adjusters to keep the seal good. I use one from sealey tools that was around £25 a few years ago and when i'm not using it, it gets stored in the bag to keep it clean. I use it for all sanding, painting and stronger fumed modelling stuff. I have emphysemia caused by working in a bodyshop years ago and i deeply regret never wearing masks then cos its no nice waking up choking so be safe

very nice, looks right at home in with the background

you may have to replace the decals and possibly rotate the tyres to use the inner surface. when you sanded the tyres it would have made the surface contact area no longer smooth so they probably wont be holding on. decals like a smooth gloss surface to stick best, then they can be overcoated with the finishing clear coats in whichever finish you like. I've made the same mistakes and was given this advice by another member and it works for me.

you can get packs of 20 assorted rolls on amazon for less than 5 bucks including shipping

Gotta follow this, and i'll probably end up copying your mods when i build my outlaw

the blackboxstl engine could be a good start for a 356 pushrod engine. it already has the correct shape fan housing and twin carbs. the fan housing is one of the add ons for the base engine by blackboxstl

if you get the carpet tape version it wont lift as long as the surfaces are clean. the normal double sided tape tends to be for lighter things like scrapbooking. It doesn't hold heavier iten that well while the carpet tape will stick a carpet to walls and keep holding on.

thanks for the vid, its one of the movies i've been hunting fr without success. it never occured to me to try youtube

the fastest woman on earth is a good documentary about Jessie Combs and her record. Its well worth a watch if you are intersted in land speed racing and the many risks involved. Some of it is tough to listen to though as they include much of the crash audio from the crash that killed her

some oddities

some colour charts

Bit of fun trivia, 3d prints look like bombs when they go through airport security as my sister recently found out on her way back from her disabled flying lessons with the RAF. The ironic part is it was a print of sir douglas bader a ww2 pilot famous for having replacement lags airdropped to him while a prisoner in ww2 that caused her to be taken aside. Its down to the internal supports and materials in the print so maybe leave early if flying with prints cos your going to get searched at every gate

i can if you are in the uk and have the stl files you want printed. I can print up to 1/16 scale, possibly bigger depending on vehicle. the largest i can print is about the size of a couple stacked vans shoe boxes.

i wasn't trying to legitimize it, the post is for racing movies, not legal racing movies. and if 2 people are competing to be first to get somewhere that is still a race whether its legal or not. if we exclude illegal racing activities many of these movies wouldn't qualify, for example the hire car race in days of thunder or enzo and ferruchio street racing in the lamborghini movie. the simple fact is they are just movies made as entertainment and they do things many of us wouldn't do. i watched oceans eleven and i haven't robbed a casino

Cool, i used to go on holiday to one of those style as a kid

its kinda ironic that the people that complain the loudest about a lack of reading or educational comprehension in kids today are the ones that seem to be absent now for a lack of comprehending the rules so at least we still get a laugh

the cars movie is good too, its got enough detail to keep us car guys interested too

but you called it racing in your reply? lol

snake and mongoose is enjoyable, the worlds fastest indian is really good and features some historic land spped cars in the background,
