Auto quiz #569 - Finished
stitchdup replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in Real or Model? / Auto ID Quiz
i dont know what it is, but once the answers gets posted i'll be looking for those wheels. i think they would suit a mk1 golf -

overkill on the real down low (its the world record holding lowest car and used to be a hillman imp, which was chosen due to it having a very low engine)

i saw a tip for painting one piece wheels in an old scale auto. the tip was to scribe around the rim if needed then paint the wheel part first. once the centre is dry use a little very thinned black paint around the outside of the rim so its fairly wet then brush paint the tyre. the thinners should stop the paint going onto the rim and give you a good clean edge and once the thinners evaporate the area with the thinned paint shoul settle down to match. I'm at work now but i think it was one of the sa tips and hints mags it was in. the article used tamiya acrylic paints and i seem to remember it said it didn't work with enamels

second hand parts used can often be more satisfying than tearing plastic on a new kit

Any tips or suggestions for UV resin?

you could try the bondic thread, its a few years old but it works the same way. if its like bondic it has uses like light lenses, filling lock holes and holes in roof chops -
Flat paint availability
stitchdup replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
most of the warhammer and citadel miniatures paints are flat. they thin nicely with tamiya thinners too but many of the metallics need a base coat -
all my crockery and silverware just stays on the drainer. i only have a couple of each and live alone so it works for me and frees up space for food. my kitchen isn't very big so cupboard space is limited

Behind you and the bench
stitchdup replied to KC FitiWerks's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
yeah, my job is to sit here all night. the other guys sit on the bridge but i sit in the passenger canteen so i have work space. seriously, my job is just to be here, nothing else but i do little bits of cleaning just to save work when its needed and we have internet so its not too bad. only down side is i cant spray stuff on board -
it wasn't me, i didn't do it, the photos are fake, you cant prove anything

Similar to the irked and pleased threads but this one is for shocking things. For example the thing that shocked me today was it would be cheaper for me to fly to america for the weekend than to get 6 squirty bottles of las totally awesome cleaner delivered. £1186 for delivery when a seat on the plane is £1162. So what shocked you? it doesn't have to be sticker shock

tomorrows dinner. the sausages i made myself using local pork,my home grown pepper (the only one that grew, lol), but i bought the onions and mushrooms. Will be served with home made roast potatoes. a handy tip if you want light fluffy roast tatties is to half boil the potatoes and let them get cold, then reboil with clean water until they start cracking. now you have perfectly prepared tatties to roast. if you dont change the water they end up with a claggy texture due to the starch. I learned this tip while working at a michelin 3 starred restaurant as second chef, and it was partly my soup that earned the stars (it got highly recommended)

I think your problem is the 40 doesn't really have the wheels centred even when stock, so lowering it only emphasises the distortion. heres a couple of stock side views where you can see by the tyres that they aren't centred. they aren't far off but at stock height its much less noticable.
