and after you buy it they'll send 30 emails telling you they have more. especially on high value items you only need one of

Very cool, it reminds me of the beetle rsi on steroids. The wheelarches are something I wouldn't have thought to do on a beetle but they work really well on this, giving a sorta japanese style to it

I'm not a collecter per se, but since I'm not able to build just now I'm still building up the stash. I have a lot of us 1/25 cars but the largest part of my stash is 1/24 vw group and I count myself lucky to have at least one of each including a 1/24 mk1 scirocco. There are 18 tamiya bug kits that each have a plan as I have various transkits for them and they are great for parts on the other bug kits. There's also a large number of fujimi mk3 golfs and transkits for building a euro and us jetta. I've also recently found a loat of 3d printed resin vw parts that I'm slowly amassing. I know I'll soon be starting into the alpha models kits as they have some stuff I need/want.

I'm struggling to find a single bed thats long enough for me. Loads of 5ft 9 available but nothing longer. I'm 6ft 2 with a bad back so they're no use to me. I dont have room for anything bigger in my flat and a couch bed aint got the support i need

Did you alternate direction when using the micromesh pads? If you did all the rubbing in one direction you will get the small scratches while alternating direction seems to negate this.

I think the closet you'll find is the revell chevy beretta, but its a 2 door

Since i'm not getting any time to build just now, i treated myself to a tv and second hand ps3. I would have got a newer playstation but i already have a heap of games for the ps3

Mine arrived in scotland today

Maybe you should post a pic of all your best in show trophies. He might listen then

Thats a pretty cool scooter. Like others have said I didn't realise they still made them. Enjoy it

some recent arrivals. The 3 minis will be used to build my aunts ragtop and I needed the seats from one, the wheels from another and the top from the third. I think the laftovers will be used to build a modern take on the riley elf. Theres a pile more stuff from mac modellismo but I've not had a chance to get pics yet

Very nice dub

Sweet dub, its nice to see a shiny one

I remember arguing with my teacher in primary schoool that you only need to know all the letters in the alphabet, as long as you get them all it cant be wrong. She told my parents I was right but it made her job teaching me harder as she had to use a tick chart to check I got them all. It ended up being a bit of a game for us, I tried to say it in a different order every time. When I finished at secondary school she gave me a tick chart she'd saved as she kept stuff to give all her kids when they left school. Most got their first drawing from art, I got a tick chart

I dont know if they're that common in the usa but it seems every high street and shopping centre in the uk has at least one warhammer/citadel miniatures type shop. It might not be what we call modelling but it is being creative with plastic. I think we could get those guys interested in armour/military models as a lot of what they are building uses a fair pile of model parts and its not so big a leap from them to the military side of modelling

nice score, thats a pretty hard to find kit

The tamiya tape needs to be removed pretty quick after you've done your painting, 24 hours is way too long for it. Its no use if you want to leave it on for a while as the sticky stuff stays behind. Saying that though I only use it for sharp edges and just use cheap stuff for the rest.

I'd be interested in knowing more about the RS6. I'm pretty keen to get it but its a lot of money for a curbside kit

Do you know the wheels you'd like? If you do someone on the forum might have a set they can measure so you know if your tyres will fit. You can cut the front down but since its a small amount filing or sanding them down will be easier to control than cutting. A lot of the aftermarket rims will come with tyres too though like you say 16s are prewtty uncommon. I would look at uscp, scale production or diolex production for wheelsd and rims. they do a lot of porsche style rims in stock and custom sizes usually with tyre options for slicks or road tyres and have fittings for fitting them to the japanese made kits

I've just finished watching the new Kevin Hart show from motortrend. It's quite enjoyable as a look at various forms of car culture in a very light hearted way, while doing some mods to their own cars. Lucky Costa plays a big part in the show and helping them out with what they want to do. It is an entertaining watch with them learning about their cars while trying out the different cultures. I dont want to spoil it for anyone thats not seen it yet but I found it enjoyable and I'm sure some of you will too.

Yes but most of the stuff they have is older trucks and military 1/24 just now,

That styling works better on the coupe from a few years ago imo, on a sedan it just looks like someone was trying too hard to stand out. I have noticed that a lot of the bocykits for these do away with the predator mouth though

Pretty cool build. I've passed on this kit a few times due to box art but seeing yours make me wish I hadn't

Does anyone know if usps do the same delays on sending the magazines internationally? I'm trying to figure out when mine will arrive

I like them both, its unusual to see american cars done with a mix of hotrod and japanese style but it works really well on these
