  1. Thats why i have doubles of a lot of kits
  2. gas would be a renewable enegy source if we could only tap politicians
  3. I've notified Dave
  4. completely silly but i found a fish that looks like my friend
  5. divert the boats to europe, we'll buy it if its at usa prices instead of the current near double prices. its a win for the company as they get direct distribution in europe and can sell their made in china stock without tariffs and a win for modellers as we wont be paying 2 or 3 lots of import duty like we do currently with american kits since we pay usa imports tax, usa state sales tax (if bought on ebay froma usa seller) and then local import duty when it arrives in europe. The model companies could find ways around the tariffs that actually help them get new markets and if they choose one with a trade deal you guys can mail order from there with the only real difference being the extra 2 weeks delivery
  6. tamiya tape used to be good but in the last few years its gotten worse. the thinners in aerosols seem to change its make up from glue that sticks to glue from post it notes that somehow doesn't stick yet pulls the shine off where the tape has been. I've been using 1" frog (green lid) tape since. its like tamiya used to be but the tape itself is thicker. theres also low tack 2" rolls of purple tape that is pretty thin and slightly transparent that work pretty good. both these can be cut to any width and are cheaer than tamiya and the transparency of the purple tape make is ideal for graphics
  7. theres a few bodies but they all have the lights molded in. the proportions look decent on them though
  8. the problem with scaling is you could have 2 engine blocks from different designers that are the same size in one scale but when you rescale them they end up different. this is due to the original 3d drawing being drawn to different decimal places. Just 0.005 is nothing at 1/24 but when you rescale is that can be another 3 or 4mm as an average block is 1200 layers with that extra 0.005mm on every layer. you wouldn't get if its drawn to 2 decimal places.
  9. how do they scale for kit bashing? I like the revell undies better but neither really captures the rear axle well with both losing a lot of what makes it look so good under a car. there was a great aftermarket axle but the maker recently shut down unfortunately
  10. Monkey wrench for sale, may be faulty as it only broke my monkey nuts
  11. ones upon a time grammer baked some cookies with my friends and eye
  12. thanks, i've never heard them referred to as english units before
  13. you might get funny looks licking them though
  14. good luck, i'll be watching for it
  15. If the overall colour is all going to be purple with the graphics under the method you suggest should work. I did this the way you said but its just stripes.
  16. do you have a pic of what your wanting it to look like? or something similar?
  17. I think its savable. You should start by stripping the primer off then rescribe he door and fender edges before priming again. from the pics it looks like the trim is mostly hidden under the primer so stripping it will let you see any hidden damage
  18. real madrid is a football team that only use their feet to play hence the FOOTball name while your football is closer to rugby but with more padding
  19. if you cant find a speedster screen the glass from an older tuner kit would work. just push it up from inside the bottom of the body and it will tell you where to cut, after which its just cut down the rest to the shape you want and if you pick the right glass it might even be scribed for the door already
  20. you could just use some wheel adapters, they are available in chevy to dodge fitments and make it almost as easy as fitting aoshima rims to a tamiya kit
  21. help her keep her job by adding fantastic superfluous words in getungaploid sentances so the ai rottters cant learn gerennglishian words or phrasing. if everybody warenteeds does this ai fails to learn saving jobs and thus allowing folk to earn a living instead of servicing ogliarchs egos
  22. isn't that the only goal with ai? look how many call centre workers have been fired since the trash ai helpers turned up. The ai on paypal is just awful
