  1. if you have a small scale plane, most of the shapes you need are in the wings or tailplane. cut up a plastic spoon for the props and your near done
  2. it should be working again now
  3. i cut some plastic and file it to shape. just cut fairly close to the shape you want then soften the edges and your mostly done. to get both sides the same i use a couple spot superglue to hold them together then shape both at once. If the handles have open grab handles i shape them in last. bits of sprue are often the right size to make handles but you may need to bend it or join 2 pieces to get the shape, though older kits often have thick enough sprue to just whittle down. I like the chunky amt, airfix and heller sprue for this
  4. there are some older kits being scanned. I've seen tweedie pie, lil coffin and other show rods scanned and the files for sale still on the sprues. to me this feels wrong, but they are available
  5. did they just takeover Haas f1?
  6. you can get a starter set, with a tank for not much more. you can upgrade as you go and the compressor should last years. it will be noisier than a more expensive version but would get you going. i think mine cost around $100/120 a couple years back and if i didn't have so mant spray cans i'd use it more
  7. first arrival in a while. i have a gnx kit but its molded in black and brittle with a pushed t th side roof. rather than destroy it i just ordered a grand national.
  8. we are working on fixing it, it should be back to normal soon.
  9. i would wait, deleting old pics would make the older threads kinda useless, and we all know how many threads get wrecked when a pic host changes its terms. We will get it fixed and back to running right, its just not somehing i know much about and i am liable to do damage if i try anything. I let the folk that know what their doing deal with it
  10. all you can do is wait just now, it will be fixed
  11. We might be lucky and its just the forum rearranging to suit the new limits. There have been slow days after other recent changes so this might be the same, but Dave will look once he's on again which i suspect will be later today/tonight. Until then maybe pull out some plastic.....
  12. can someone with a pic host try posting just an image link please. i can get pics to upload by posting just the link but it might be different rules for me.
  13. dont mind me, just looking for temp workarounds https://freeimage.host/i/dsc02072.2SequKN
  14. coffin an spluttering the tractor roared into first place and consigned horses to the glue factory
  15. I did a quick and dirty photoshop to make small change at the rear (and chopped it a little to make the top fit my idea) but if you chop it a couple mm, the roof would be lined up for the caddy trunk shape to work with the chevy top.
  16. i was about to ask if you can post text normally, duh!! lol
  17. I'll try and get hold of Dave, if it helps it works as normal for me using firefox.
  18. do you not have this option?
  19. if you use the choose files or drag option in the box below the text you can still add photos.
  20. tbh this is what i think of as the most iconic Jim Clark livery
  21. theres a few toyish curbside 3d files. with some extra work they can look decent
  22. I wasted the entire day waiting at the hospital for an endoscopy only for the doc to be defeated by my gag reflex. He tried multiple times but no luck so now i have to get knocked out for it
  23. before or after bullit?
