i flocked the interior today and got the seats ready for decaling. i need to give the black on the wheels a second coat. and i couldn't find a lupo 3l steering wheels file so its audi rs6

does anybody want to make black spaghetti?

if they are mounted on bases one of these could work. they hold the base with elastic bands. i'm going to fit crocodile clips to mine for doing wheels, tyres and small parts. its from citadel and can be found in fantasy war gaming shops

painted the wheels but still need to add the black detail. I went with exip megas as they fit the period. To make them work i'll have to nailthe stance. Also reworked the kit seats to more cl base model but they will get gti trim

tangible evidence of the above statemenrt can be found within the above statement (lol)

an hour and a half of masking for 5 mins painting and i still had a little seepage in a couple of places. The trim is mid spec instead of the various other options.

i think its much simpler. social media has led to folk forgetting what real community is. when theres a community theres much less dumping as people can take pride in where they live instead of constantly seeking attention for mediocrity.

i have all those engines in 3d. only a couple diesels still to get

the tamiya mk4 is hard to get and expensive if you do find one

if you cant reply add that here

i'll message you. try to reply

Traded from Kaci. Thinking to do it in the pinky purple silver my neighbours car is painted but its no a m5. it looks silver in the pic but under the sun its completely different

its not vendors thats the problem, shipping companies wont accept usa parcels currently as they dont have storage space. on top of that, royal mail require every item in a box listed exactly with a value. they would not accept 45 piece scale model engine in 3d resin so i ended up writting a boring novel for the stuff i sent. an hour to post one parcel

printed up some option wheels for the vento. the brock 5 spokes are for the golf and i think the 2 spokes might end up on the jetta but that might change

it was only an issue on the chassis. if it was multi piece it would have been easier as it took a lot of supports and all were on top of the suspension and difficult to get files or sandpaper to them so i bent some barbeque skewers and added sandpaper to them to get to the marks. i will do another sometime though as this was more of a test than a build like all my first builds of a print. i like to find the bits that need extra work before doing a proper build

that is correct. just because something is mentioned, it doesn't mean it will happen.

i'm not sure how it done on a phone, but to do it on a computer you hover the mouse over the member you want to blocks name on the left of the page. this will bring up a box with the members details. on the bottom of this box is the ignore button. when other people comment on the blocked members post, the post will still show but the blocked members posts will not show if nobody comments

the escort kits always sell out. within 6 months the price on ebay doubles. the other similar rally cars just dont have the following of the escort. my local shop got 6 kits in and they were all sold in a week and they couldn't get more. luckily i already had a few of the rally and track cars as i didn't know tey were getting rereleased

there is an article in a recent mcm on how to damage models. they car in the article replaced panels with heavy foil before doing the damage

the fujimi garage sets have a decent sprue of tools and clutter. I think the amt garage kit does too

I suggest reading through Donny's thread as he has asked the questions that will help you out. Welcome to model cars, its a great hobby to have. heres the thread

i've got a little hearing back in my right lug but the left is still done. My boss at the place i volunteer called the docs for me so have an app in 2 weeks.

purely because it tends to end up political, and then people end up on moderation or worse. none of us want that. i'll leave it for now but any politics and it gets locked.

I woke up nearly completely deaf and my doc wont accept contact by email unless you phone them first. since i live alone i'm probably going to have to get the jobcentre to call for me since i cant hear

its all modelling. if you can build a boat or a plane then you already know what to do.There are a lot of pro boards forums on model car/truck building and when you include the niche builders it soon adds up. My thinking behind the battle of the forums is it gives members something to watch and might entice new members to join up, which is good for the forum if it attracts advertising. I want to see model building grow as a hobby as i believe it is the best antidote to all the tech and phone based nonsense, my main thinking behind it is to make models a strong community.
