  1. netflix should be in the app store
  2. I think its down to hand done art having flaws that somehow add to the art. digital tends to not have those flaws. maybe the flaws are what gives it flavour. I'm not sure if flaw is the right word but I'm sure you know what i mean, its something intangible. sorta like an extra layer to the art that was unplanned
  3. is that the other forge mk1?
  4. In the 1/1 world those are called bbs rs. They came in 15, 16 and 17 inch versions and are a expensive wheel these days. They were also available in centrelock version which were mostly 16 inch and 8inch wide to fit the common slicks at the time. There are a lot of variations from bbs on the mesh design but rs are the ones vw guys hunt out. A rebuildable set can cost upwards of a grand, and I've seen rebuilt sets going for over 7500. Everything except the centres is still being reproduced. They were also an option wheel on bmw and vw. The amt scirocco has a set of these included along (that just need a wash with tamiya smoke to look decent) with stock scirocco rims. The tamiya sierra cossie has a similar set but rs were never made in 19inch so they may have been super rs but i believe those were a much later rim. In the vw fwd world these would be like cragars or american 5 spokes on muscle cars
  5. its his pelvis broken and apparently this is what kills them, not the break.
  6. have you tried buying from sony direct? thats what I'm planning to do and i only want it for gt7 and maybe just cause or gta
  7. he's still not pee'd but he has eaten some food from my sister today. I'm still hopeful
  8. Man thats sweet, you got me hooked with the first pic. nice job on the diffuser and hood
  9. sunnys been xrayed today and the break is fixable. But they cant do anything until the he pees. If he doesn't pee it might not be good news but I'm hopeful. The vets here are good so I've got everything crossed. The same vets uncle fixed one of our previous cats that was in much worse shape and she lived another 14 years. sunny is only 2 and a half so hopefully his youth helps
  10. thats the one, my mind went blank when i tried to mind hid on
  11. I think the beretta chassis was used under a couple of other kits, one was the turbo superchraged show car in red to yellow fade (i forget its name) and i cant remember the other
  12. My sisters cat got run over tonight which didn't please me. What pleased me was the young lass driving actually stopped and went followed the cat to see where it went to hide. She then went door to door to find the owners. By the time she got to mum and they went out to get the cat, he had run off to hide again (a cats natural reaction to getting hurt is to hide) Within 10 minutes half the villiage mum lives in were out searching in heavy rain for the cat too and stayed out for the entire 2 hours it took to find sunny. The cat is now at the vets and has a suspected broken leg or pelvis but we have to wait until tomorrow to get an xray. The lass that hit the car was completely devasted so another of the neighbours drove her home and took her father back to pick up her car. It was just an accident but the community showed what community means which is pretty awesome
  13. awesome score, there been one of those metal frames on ebay uk for 2 years now, and the pick up kit. only $115 each
  14. I tend to pop in and out throughout the day and night. My job is watchman on a ferry so i'm just sat on it for 12 hours. Theres only about 2 hours work to do in the 12 hours so i spend a lot of time on here since its fast to load.
  15. that might work if you add afew bars to the revell beretta kit, its a bit narrower
  16. The glidden chassis most likelly wont fit, its 1/24 and probably too wide for the nova body. I used one under a bmw e36 and it was a tight fit in it. would the amt pro street nova chassis fit?
  17. I bought our local water bords old 4x4 mk2. it was blue with a colgne v6. It was a fun beach runner and surprisingly capable over rocks, but still my bay window was better
  18. Could it be because the tamiya tyres that were in this kit are really soft in the first release and it helped it sit level once built? I had the kit during the 90s and after a wheel swap with the alfa dtm car it never sat quite right so it might have been down to the taper
  19. There was a thread on the forum a couple of years ago. It may have been in aftermarket or tips section. I think the thread was called working tops or similar and someone mentioned where to find resin up tops in the thread. sorry i'm not more help
  20. I'm only seeing the mk2 ones just now but they pop up on ebay quite regular https://motobitz.uk/kits--trans-kits1.html
  21. would it be any cheaper for you to order from australia? I'm in scotland and i find its often cheaper to order from bna modelworld on the web or a-modeller on ebay, than ordering from near to home and doesn't take much longer to be delivered
  22. Has anyone heard from Geoff? Its been a year since he was on and I've not seen him around the other forums either
  23. You can absolutelly do that. Personally I have no interest in factory stock yet some of my fav builders on the forum only build that way. You can easily judge something only by the workmanship and it happens often in the 1/1 world too. Some of the vehicles that have won ambr or detroit have fantastic attention to detail but the end result isn't to my tastes. Quality workmanship will always stand out even if its not necessarily aesthetically pleasing to your eye
  24. theres a mk1 transit conversion available, and a long wheelbase. I think its motobitz that do them
  25. I think it looks pretty good as it is. Once the chrome goes on it will bring it to life, but maybe a company logo or something on the doors might work too
