the plastic primer is useful. it helps the other primers stick to bare plastic (some older revell kits and black plastic kits) and it can be used if your paint is a hot one too if you dont want a thick layer of primer. Its not really a primer though, think of it as an adhesion promoter instead

Nice work, they make a cool group

I've got these for my 3d prints https://modellersresource.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=66

i have some magic tree pe ones somewhere

even if someone did headlight decals on clear backing we'd have an option. with clear backing we could then use those decals on easily available googly eyes and an a5 sheet of these imaginary decals should last a fair while. they wouldn't be perfect but unless you want to spend money on photo etched ones it might work for most of us.

I always though the andy saunders version was kinda cool

is it also called a 300 i6? if it is theres a 3d print file available along with one for an aussie ford i6

very cool, nobody could tell that you started with a mazda

it looks a little too sharp on the edges and kinda deep towards the back of the hood. Between the lights looks a little bit flat as well but neither detail is enough to stop me getting a couple

the centre of the hood looks wrong but i'll still get a couple

Very nice, looks like henry should have made them that way

it looks like its available on the iceman site again

I've used the yellow tins, but not the red tins (uk trade use version). Seemed to work fairly well but it was a bit thick compared to other primers. I still use it sometimes if i have nothing else or need to cover a large area like truck side or something with less detail. Its not a bad primer but imo there are better options if you want to save detail

That was a fantasticread and scroll. Well done to all the contributors and I look forward to reading the book when its available. What really sold the story to me is ford uk sold a car that has a lot of the styling cues from these models called the consul capri (not to be confused with just capri) so it just made it all that much more believable

It is a movie I have nevr watched and have no interest in watching, even though my friends reccomend it often

diolex production transkit

dab the point of your pin in paint then use it t mark the spot for drilling

Thats the car i saw on the motorway outside edinburgh 3 weeks ago with a load of similar era cars, happy to see what it is now as it was with a fleet of bugattis and the like

Cool custom, removing the roof gives it a pretty fresh look

thats a mexican bug, there were never many of them over here and thats an earlier one than the commercial importers would have so i assume its a private import. Its interesting to see the differences between them and the ones we got

this is the tamiya pearl clear over duplicolour flat black, not a great pic but its the best i have that shows the pearl. I would describe it as more of a metallic clear though as the pearl only really works on light colours. There is a good paint supplier called jawell paints in the uk. They carry loads of automotive paints and can put any colour you want into a spray can. Shipping shouldn't be too bad either since your on the mainland

I'd always guessed the dtm meant it was a weld through primer. I'm sure they used similar cans for this on texas metal when they did the caddilac drop top

you could try modellersresource.co.uk as they do a load of older truck parts. Theres also a store in holland but its name is escaping me just now

you might find something here https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_5148-Peterbilt-281-1955.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel_(1971_film) https://www.tenfourmagazine.com/2014/09/special-features/the-duel-truck-10-years-later/ i didn't see any mention about 22 wheels in any of these articles but i just skimmed through them rather than read them so i could easily have missed those details

The big news story in the uk for the next week is a 74 year old man has just got his first job.
