  1. Do you have a machining shop close to you? the swarf from a lathe might get you what you need if you dont mind a little extra work. Theres a good chance they would just give you some. it will be sharp but no worse than using a coke can for interior panels
  2. If your climate is fairly dry you should be ok i'd think. i clear over decals as the air is humid in spring and autumn here
  3. i lined a large matchbox with foil and poked o light size hole in the bottom to make the light work better. got the idea from a halogen lamp
  4. Thanks, I was always told the best off road bike is someone elses so you dont have to clean it, lol
  5. Very cool, I've had the same pic in my build ideas so its good to see it built. Great idea to make it a camper too
  6. is maico an American brand? i've never seen one before and i helped out at the local scrambling (dirt bikes are called scramblers in scotland)club for years
  7. gestation of ideas often ends up with a better plan
  8. I'd try one of the aluminum paints or c1 powder (the silver you get with it depends on the base colour) this is the powders over a base of the green showing through (a 2hr build just for fun, 32 parts and 24 of them were the wheels, lol)
  9. yes i sure have and i liked 2 better as well, i kinda blame the first movie for the massive rise in heroin in scotland during the 90s. shallow grave is a pretty good movie too, i think its the same producer as trainspotting. and theres a film called venus peter that i was in as a kid but its garbage, lol. i think you'd like the movie i linked, the first half hourish is set up but then the funny starts but it has a lot of cursing throughout but that is just how we really speak north of edinburgh, what you see on telly is very sanitised
  10. try iceman collections, he does a few 3d printed figures or there are resin japanese girls in some of the aoshima and hasegawa kits. theres also a pretty large range of figures by masterbox that has a bit of everything.
  11. I'd like to see the revell/dragon bmw e36 2 door rereleased. The 4 door is easy to find but the 3 door is near impossible and never under 100quid when you do find it
  12. theres another way that might work, mark where the lower floor lines up with the interior floor and remove that area. Then glue the interior flooor to the lower floor and you've just given it a slight channelling and kept the under floor detail. You might need to swap the tran area for fitting the engine but it should work and keep the interior panels and dash fitting
  13. provenance makes the price go up
  14. i'll be in then with a kyusha celica xx, it will be curbside and very angular
  15. is there an age limit for the vehicles? for example would some of the wild japanese kyusha cars be acceptable
  16. Why are the pyramids in Egypt? They didn't fit in the British museum
  17. quarters are not legal tender in scotland no matter what you screech karen
  18. Do you have a narrow set? If you do i have some outer rings you could widen them with. i'm also in the uk and am happy to send you them. these are the ones i have. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254978736598?hash=item3b5deac1d6:g:vzgAAOSwmo1cTBjm
  19. human and the act of showing humanity are drifting further apart
  20. i did the same, lol
  21. fast company, but its from 1979
  22. art has been important to human development since pre historic times
  23. spot model are getting pre orders packed for shipping, so next week i'll be ordering the uscp escort bay
  24. My friend I've been helping look after is now on end of life care. His alzheimers has progressed faster than I've ever seen before to the point you can see massive changes in just a couple of hours. It's like losing a parent again as he was the person i turned to for help when my dad passed. I'm hoping to visit him on weds after my shift is finished if he lasts that long
