I think it said it was in new york

While not a specific kit, I'd like to see more curbsides brought back but with seperate hoods. There are plenty of kit and aftermarket sources for engines and other underhood parts but opening the hood can very quickly spoil a model if something slips. It seemed to be a popular feature on the first amt nova wagons and saves the tooling costs for an engine

went to the landlords to pay some rent in advance only to find I'm already 6 weeks ahead. I was quite taken aback by this as i missed a payment in november so should have been about even, if not a couple weeks behind. I'm not sure how it has happened as i'm only paying a little extra each wage and it shouldn't be this much ahead

I just cleared out the local motor factors of filler primer, the guy in the shop said he had more through the back so i bought it all too, along with a selection of other paints and primers. Turns out they cant sell more than 20 colours at a time or the anti grafitti rules freeze the till. Still i should have enough primer to keep me going for a while

if you want to put an engine in the sierra, the escort engine bay from uscp is correct for these (with a small extension to the sides possibly) too. The escort cossie was just a rebodied sierra

try blutack or something like that maybe

what are you trying to mask?

I ordered the wrong screen protector film for my printer. Anybody need a pack of 5 anycubic 6.23 sheets? I considered putting it in the trade thread but figured I'd put it here first

Here's what happens when you have a load of left over gt parts, judd chevrolet v8 and a load of other parts. It raced in series called thunder saloons and they were all cars like this with the big bertha vauxhall probably being the most famous

As the title says I'm looking for model shop i can go into and see what I'm buying. I'd like to find one that has aftermarket stock too as I've not been into a model shop in more than 20 years. My job is finished in an hour and I fancy a short break somewhere before looking for another. I'm not too worried where in the uk it is but near to one of the car museums would be a bonus. I'm not counting the shop in newcastle as it only had 4 car/truck kits

DHL, for some reason that i have yet to figure out, they keep losing/cant deliver a kit i ordered back at the start of december. I'm sure the shop i purchased it from are getting irked by it as well. Lets see if it turns up on the third attempt but i'm not going to hold my breath. Some other couriers are slow but it does arrive while dhl cant seem to get items past the north of england.

some tamiya paints arrived today, i only needed 2 but its not worth putting 2 in the box so i got some extras while i was there. I dont use tamiya very often but they are handy to have on hand

them guys in the corner look shifty so best hide yer daughters

it is monogram, there was enough parts to build 2 and loads of spare parts in the lot

do you need one? i have a destroyed van i got in a kit lot but the grille is still good

a scoop (not sure of its proper name) from the top of a blower might work if you cut it in half horizontally and stretch and widen it using the other half. If it was me thats what i would try by stretching first then widening it once its at the length you need. or maybe one of the hood scoops from a 70s firebird might work too

those kits on ebay might be your only choice in plastic kits but there might also be resin or 3d printed versions to build up using one of the other lincoln kits you found as a parts donor. I'm sure someone will be able to help you find what you are looking for. If you decide on one of the 2 kits on ebay it could also be worth getting someone to check that all the parts are in the box, its not unknown for kits to be mislabeled or incomplete.

wow, 1/64 scale and that many colours! you're brave to even attempt it. cant wait for more

there are some 1/24 rc truck ones too, i think they are under traxas or a similar name.

aren't they still on the go? i got some vw engines of theirs from modelbuilderwarehouse within the past year. i know they stopped direct customer sales

there are similar tool boxes on cults3d. they all seem to be aimed at rc trucks so they might not scale down very well or be very thin walled if they do print. its not something i have searched for but they pop up under truck searches

i use boxes like Keef showed for small parts, larges totes for kit leftovers sorted into vw, audi etc, other euros, japanese and us kits with a couple of random totes for things that might be useful. my wheel sets are in these sweet boxes and they hold up to 24" wheels in 1/24. I like these boxes as they let me see the wheels without any hassle, and the sweets aren't bad either.

i can get drawings if anyone wants them, most designs have been tested locally before going into full production as all the test equipment is based here.

the postal service is still working in Ukraine, I've been getting stuff from diolex and uscp fro a few months now. Diolex were based/shipping from germany during the summer but seem to be back in Kyiv now.

In 36 hours the next adventure begins, lets see where this ends up
