i've only been able to get hobby sprays for about a year so it all fits

Why dont resin casters add colour to the release agents? it would save a lot of cursing

i'll just post them, they fit the kit tyres and a stamp is cheap

want some pirelli rims to match the paint? i've got an extra set

I think I got sent your mcm by mistake Randy

backwards drag racing could be fun to watch

the body fit is tight on the mk1 kits so be carful with mock ups, but its a great kit. I have lots of plans for mine

I think you just solved the problem i'm having with their tape. I'm more used to auto paints so when i'm doing a multiple colour paint job i'm masking for the next colour in 30 mins. That could very well be why i'm having problems with the tape

yes, i havent had any good tamiya tape in over a year. it used to be good

i've been finding craters in my paint where tamiya tape has been. it doesn't matter what type of paint i use, it always leaves my paint looking like a toppographic map

I got to speak to the owner of a green mk3 golf estate (wagon) yesterday and might have picked up a small paint job. The owner managed to scrape the rear bumper but luckily he didn't damage the plastic at all, only removed the paint. I mentioned building models and having a tin of the correct dragon green already so he took my number. Its an easy fix, flat back the remaining paint, couple shots of filler primer, normal primer paint clear and polish. its only on the top edge of the bumper so i only have to blend one end as the rest has edges and blending is simpler on a round corner. Only real issue is i might be doing the work at the side of a road but it wouldn't be the first time

love makes people act strangely, theres nothing rational about it. if he did it right he'd stick em on ebay for 500 each then he's trying to sell them, honest

I'd stick with tamiya primer. you shouldn't need a coloured base under the tamiya paints as they cover well. i would not use tamiya masking tape though and instead use a brand with stainblock such as frog or my current fav, a very thin purple crepe type masking tape. its 2" wide and how tamiya used to be but unfortunatelly it has no branding. i got it at a house paint store

look near the embroidery and sewing stuff. or sometimes in the leatherworking section. some of the smaller ones come already fitted into a jewell ytpe fitting but they easily pop off and leave clean stones.

in deepest darkest Peru there was once a bear named Paddington, who for some reason had an upper class English accent

if you send me a pm saying what you want editted i can do it for you

I know exactly what you mean, i was thinking i need the bathroom and a political ad came on

I thought the same. i've got the airfix kit so this was reference i was going to use on it. I figured the pics might help someone else too and it not often a vintage bentley owner lets you climb around his pride and joy. In my excitement i completely missed the interior though i was sat in it. I find the owners of this era cars are getting happier to let folk sit in them now the value is dropping. Its real enthusiasts that own them now which is good to see. it doesn't seem long ago these were kept in cotton wool whereas now they are being driven more. I'm sure goodwood and downtown has something to do with it

If you click the links in Tim's post they will take you to his fotki account. Theres lot to look at there and its well worth saving a few hours

Actually Ace brought up a much more realistic risk. our infrastructure is already threatened by sunbursts, while aurora borealis is beautiful to watch it also puts our power supplies at risk. one sunburst detonated all your sea mines at once during the vietnam war and it wasn't particularly strong. if our health knowledge becomes fully ai based it would just take one strong sunburst to render us helpless. to me thats a much more scientific theory than man vs machine wars. make it open source and maybe we can trust it better, at least that way they cant avoid ethics. when its closed control we cant and shouldn't trust it, as Ace has pointed out more than once, google's motto used to be "dont be evil".

can i just add i'd have real versions of my models. theres a reason i built them how i did. now on the very slim chance i win, where can i get a 12 story glass cabinet?

I got some paint on the vento this morning. i'll let this set up overnight then mask for the trim and rubber. I'm going for the early look on this one so it will be black trim to match the og gti rather than the later body colour trim. The interior will be black recaro seats with the jocky plaid from a mk5 gti and maybe vw lupo 3l or audi tt steering wheel. I'm not usually someone that fits bbs to a vw but i'll make an exception for this so it fits the theme i'm going for. I'm trying for a modern classic look which means sticking with oem style parts. The era of golf tuning i was into was all about stance and small changes the average person could easily miss rather than the bodykits and stereo thats more popular today. there are a couple of spots where i missed a little mold release but luckily they are on the black trim so i think i can fix it without fully repainting, so cross your fingers as the mars red is finished

One of the reasons spoken about for keeping wanted free was we know how much it helps those on limited incomes and generally its done by trading rather than cash and i dont think i've had any complaints about being ripped off (though there are still a few my friend has the part messages which i thank you for continuing to report). Its not really something we could make you pay for either, it would be like charging you to breathe fresh air. The reason for trading going into a paid tier is to prevent the inevitable trade cash for this kit posts trying to sell without proving they are genuine. We dont want to take anything away from you but for somethings to work it might have to happen in some limited areas. we know that without you folks we wouldn't have this resource and it really is a case of you are all as much a part of this as we are. We included you guys before any meetings because of your importance to the forum and all your input is greatly appreciated. If you have ideas or thought please continue to share them, it all helps with any decisions

the price just doubled! and if you do buy it, 2 more will pop up with a buy it now of less than the original sales price. thats how i ended up with a kit that cost more than many cars I've bought but how many 1/24 vw scirocco kits were made? I would be annoyed but it has my 1/24 vw kits almost complete, and at the time i was earning good money. I'm still kicking myself for not buying the cheap ones too

you need to swap the tyres if you want whitewalls painted on the tamiya bugs. the tryes continue to flex a little with the heat and crumbles away from the tyre eventually. the tyres from the polar lights snappers fir the tamiya tyres with a little inner edge trimming and the tamiya white primer will stick to them once you remove the shine. some of the revell kits whitewall decals might be a better route than paint on the tamiya tyres. if you have a revell 40 the tyres from it might fit the tamiya wheels too as the whole 1/24 and 1/25 size/scale difference could work in your favour
