  1. received my end of a trade with Oldcarfan27, will happily trade again
  2. Well getting rid of most of my 1/25 kits to make some space hasn't worked. First up is a pile of kits i traded my johans and some others for. Very very happy to get the dauphines as they are hard to find over here and go for strong money when they do pop up. next up are a wheel set from uscp in Ukraine and a few purchase from various uk shops except the sierra cossie that came from spot model in spain missing from the pic is another e tron and a very very good deal i found for 5 bottles of printer resin that has to have been a mistake by amazon as i only paid the cost for one bottle, and theres also a 100 strainers for the resin, 2 gallons of 99.9 alcohol and a lot of print files. so much for making room for the printer, lol
  3. trim that hair bellowed the drill sargent while he plaited his beard
  4. Had to call my landlords as the floor beside my shower went soft under the lino. After he saw where it was soft he's decided to replace the entire bathroom with new everything. Its wont be happening anytime soon as its not an emergency repair or risk. As a temp fix I've got a sheet of ply glued over it
  5. cheese comes in many varieties and most use more than just milk from the source
  6. decades are how one guy at work makes a week feel
  7. Oh no, condolences to his family and friends. He's someone i've followed since the early 90s before all the gymkhana vids. I have magazine articles from his days as a skateboarder. Even in those days he was deeply involved with cars. I remember an interview where he was asked how he spent his money and his reply was he bought beaters just to have fun with his friends. In some of the big brother magazine vids you can see him laying the roots for the gymkhana vids, treating cars as just another skateboard. Ken was a massive influence to many people. RIP Ken, your legacy lives on
  8. why not? the cars were just a way of flipping the bird at ferarri. thats what the movie is about
  9. its not supposed to be a car movie, its about the guy himself. the clues in the name. if it was about the cars it wouldn't be called the man behind the legend
  10. I'd get milliput simply for the bigger pack. Its great stuff and can be used as more than just filler. Some cheap clay sculpting tools are useful if you're using it to make bodies and to smooth just wet your fingers
  11. i think its an american car, the album was recorded in california and its more rounded than the typical euro cars. my best guess is late 30s/40s gm
  12. punishment for yakuza can include removing fingers which make it hard to count
  13. they do, the first release is usually just the kit and its followed a couple months later by the gift sets
  14. most leather cleaners are just degreaser with extra perfumes added
  15. sandwiches are what we called cop cars in the 80s
  16. saw violent night recently. if you liked home alone and die hard i think you'd enjoy it. imo its one of the better christmas movies
  17. i stick with duplicolour and always use the clear plastic primer for the first coats, then either filler primer or normal. i haven't tried other primers with it but i have used tamiya ts paints and hok over it without problems (even on the same paintjob). Avoid their cheaper simoniz brand, its tempting because the cans are twice the size but its utter garbage that consists of mostly thinners and spit that doesn't cover
  18. i use it most of the time, it needs good primer coats as its fairly hot
  19. look for extractor vents for bathroom fans/cookers. they are round sections of pipe with a flap inside that only open one way. i have them on all my outside vents and they are much better than the flat wall mounted vents. they look similar to this but you want the ones with the pivot at the top. the centre ones just aren't as good as they can open with a breeze but the top pivot ones dont
  20. once upon a time is the start of many fictional childrens tales and should be used by politicians for the same reason
  21. thanks,you might recognise the bop axle in the next one when i get it started
  22. yes, but the files i purchased from a designer called digital surface on cults3d. i goofed on the chassis by printing it on its side when i should have done it on its end
  23. theres a pretty good documentary about him called mclaren, well worth a watch if you can find it online. its from 2017
