  1. do you have a printer? I have sheets of printable white vinyl that you could just use to print a sticker to cover the entire board. It would mean doing a template with your board design reduced to fit and you can easily smooth the edges of the vinyl with some fine sandpaper to hide the edge or a file like doing griptape on a skateboard. I'm happy to send you a sheet if you think it will work for you
  2. you mght find something you can use on some of the 80s and 90s revell kits with graphics. Some of them might work for surfboards if you trimmed bits out, theres loads of paints splash style
  3. try here, they are near bottom of the page http://www.finksgarage.com/
  4. help and sos mean the same on land but at sea only sos matters as help just means assistance needed, while sos means immimnent danger to life
  5. Look in the kids toys section for barbie/sindy travel sets. The smaller ones just need a little detailing or you can make your own using lego blocks since you wont see the bottoms
  6. shiny garage is a great source for the polish modified car scene
  7. i use marine electrical connectors. they have a plastic sheath but once you strip it away your left with nice stacks, and being marine they are stainless steel so polish up nice with a little thinners
  8. observers book of cars was an annual hard back small book with every worldwide production car featured, and was reprinted every year with every world car of each year
  9. humbrol dont do clear enamel, its a celulose paint for all of their clear colours. It wont do the job on molotowe as it just turns it primer grey
  10. if you order the s-02 from amazon its much faster delivery
  11. if the nozzle doesn't clean have a look through your other aerosol cans, there should be some that will fit and some are better than you get on the cans, i often swap my nozzles for those from window cleaners as they have a decent spray pattern
  12. I've used both and they did the job. The gauzy can be overpainted with other paints after it has dried. I haven't tried it with the s-02 but it works on the molotowe. With both of these the molotowe needs to sit for week before overcoating as it will marr the chrome
  13. Honda have been going downhill since the early 00s. maybe they need a honda family member in charge again
  14. My last ebay parcel came to the uk via guam? still arrived in less than 10 days though, even with a trip around the planet and a previous parcel went via hong kong and tokyo but it took 2 months to arrive
  15. x2 on the s-02 or theres also gauzy shine enhancer
  16. I'm not sure, I'll have a look but my kit was a built up with the later fenders. I had to trade to find the stock fenders
  17. I'm at work just now but will get pics when i get home
  18. Theres also a model railroad place called (i think) hattons. They sell diecast and trains but sometimes have models from collections they have purchased. I haven't seen any built ups there but since they sell diecast maybe built ups would be somthing they would consider.
  19. I've got an original in the turquoise blue/green and i traded some stock rear fenders on here for it. The fenders i got in trade were in a red/orange colour.
  20. gina were what i wanted from the italian tailor but instead i left with his wife
  21. I've got the yamaha and bronco set. If I recall correctly the boat was pretty simple. I can look it out and get pics if you want
  22. all the race vw golf mk2s by fujimi have the wrong wheels, shows bbs on the box but stock steels inside
  23. theres afew places that sell second hand kits in the uk. it may be worth trying kingkit as they usually have a good selection of second hand kits and may be interested in built ups but i wouldn't really expect much for them on this side of the pond. the us market is much better for built ups but i'm sure there will be some that will surprise you if you decide to go the ebay option. unless its an old esci transit or escort or other euro ford built ups just dont seem to get the bids in the uk and packing that many would be a nightmare. it might be your best bet to sell them at a swap meet as you dont have to worry about packing them that way, and the theres no worries about bad feedback
  24. but thats not true, you still have family names that carry more clout than they maybe deserve, simply due to who their relatives are. I'm sure we can all think of some of them whether its film stars or media, how many of them earned their status?
  25. available at extra cost with your free introductory offer is this chocolate ashtray for your motorbike
