they need to get a brace in that door, half the sill is gone

Took a chance on a job lot listed as incomplete on ebay and got it for a very good price including delivery across the pond. There were loads of pics and if other people had paid close attention I probably wouldn't have got it. It helped that many of the kits are molded in colour as i could see the boxes were just jumbled up and not sorted out. I think i came out pretty well with how many are just missing wheels and minor parts as i tend to customise everything. Theres a lot to see and some might end up for trade First up, peterbuilt truck, missing glass only so not a problem. strangely it appears someone shaved their beard into the box as it wasn't animal fur. they were grey haired with what we call the salt n pepper colour on this side of the pond. 34 ford convertible. appears complete model a delivery, appears complete but the front of the roof has been cut off. the part is there so an easy repair model t sedan, appears complete but i dont really need 2 squarebody stepside appears complete and there are some extra chassis which are always useful honda integra missing glass and chassis parts but good wheels and engine for something else, maybe the model a 1/16 lambo no interest to me and missing many parts tamiya jag, missing parts but i have a spares kit with the missing parts already dodge pick up appears complete. I'm sure I've seen a build thread for this one so have included an interior pic. anybody recognise it? trans am snapper appears complete, and corvette also appears complete. I've got an idea for a custom one so this was handy as i didn't have one jeep, appears complete and i like the original builder plan so will keep to that plan dodge charger missing glass dodge and plymouths, appear complete ramcharger, possibly missing hood but theres still a couple of boxes of loose parts to look through so fingers crossed chevy vans, should have enough part for 2 out of the 3 couple boxes to still sort, near complete tank no clue what this sprue is from, doesn't appear to fit anything i have

fortitude is not a commonly used word in scotland, but if it was it would probably be a derelict ww2 army base related to the first special forces troops in the black isle area of the highlands

sherman tanks were useful in ww2 but obsolete soon after

slow and steady wins the race, is a flawed statement unless we are talking about snails and tortoises

the blah blah blah happens when you use a curse word or banned word, its a word you used in your post/pm that the forum doesn't allow that gets changed automaticaly. I very much doubt the mods have time to check everybodies pm's given how many are sent on here each day

wisdom is relative, the smartest person in a village of idiots will still be an idiot

cool project. the closest i've seen to those skirt are a set for the 63 impala by pegasus. The only ones I've seen for the ford are the long cruiser style versions

hmmn! they got the atm wrong, it was nothing to do with any bank, they were invented in dundee

i wouldn't use the circle templates or gelly roll pens as the gelly pens can leave ugly ridges in the whitewall if you have to overlap. Theres a much easier way that gives a nice finish. All you need is a large washer with a hole the size you need for the whitewalls. Just place the washer over the tyre, taking care to centre it, then build up the colour using white acrylic primer. if you use a reasonably heavy washer it will stay in place for painting. I find heavy truck washers to be the best as the holes are about the right size and they have the weight to not blow away and since its being sprayed the finish will be smoother

your best bet is to look at the kit on https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ and have a look through the pics. They usually have pics of the contents of each kit

the volvo looks completely outclassed in that group, or was clark griswald driving it? i bet they had the most fun though

plymouth is a naval port in at least 2 countries but probably more if i could be bothered to look

please can i have some more said oliver before faggin sent him out on the rob again

you might get some answers on the custom car chronicle forum. There seems to be a few guys on there from the early days and some great tales of how it was in the old days, and not the polished rodders journal version

you should only need one kit, the car has its doors and cowl area moved back so I'm guessing its on a stock chassis

I'd like this grille to fit this please sorry just trying to add a joke

we could just ban cabbage and sprouts, that should cut down emmissions for november and december at least

I wouldn't be surprised if we see them included with one of the recent vw campers at some point. They have their 75th anniversary coming up so there is nearly bound to be a special set of them released (if revell have any sense)

yoda this ball point into a bicycle said macgyvers mate

thats just how rover were, slightly outdated even when brand new

how about stock grilles for the amt 33 willys and the revell 50 austin. It would open up a lot of new hot rod possibilities

travel by steam train through the alps is on my bucket list

except it wasn't done naturally. the oil industry pushed for internal combustion over ev. in the earliest days electric cars were just as popular as ic. and most power stations then were coal, and close to population centres so there was a lot of illness produced by the smog. internal combustion was sold as the cleaner power for cars because there was less visable smog initially, and by the time we realised there was jst as much smog the choice was made and it was too late. If you look back at early photos of cities with cars, more than half are electric

times new roman is a pretty dull font when you could be using wingdings
