  1. atlantis purchased some old tools from revell
  2. Found out from the news on telly that my job might be ending as the boat might be going away on a charter. I'm not too irked but it would have been nice to be told. The charter is to replace a brand new ship that has been a disaster of fails from bent propshafts, spun bearings, and all 4 engines needing rebuilt after less than a month in service. There is a bit of funny though, the company chartering it are our main competitor and the islands it will be going to asked for our boat by name after smaller boats were suggested because while our boat is getting to 12 years old it has been proven reliable
  3. It wouldn't be the first time, usps tried some vw golf diesel vehicles in the early 80s
  4. I've always thought that damien hirst wasn't an artist, just a mediocre butcher (incidently I read somewhere that he gets art students to make the "art" and he just rakes in the cash. But then there a lot fraud when valuing art. eg. pile of bricks sells for hundreds of thousands in a gelery but the pile in my garden is is classed as an eyesore
  5. Scene's unlimited also do these big rig off road tyres. They are one piece with the rim but you might be able to drill out the rim and fit your own if using larger rims. They come in pairs for the fronts and set of 4 for the rears with a choice of hubs. They seem pretty evenly sized but I didn't look that closely at them
  6. I once cut some foil in the palm of my hand because i was in a hurry, wont be doing that again. I've also got out of the shower and grabbed tamiya paint instead of deodrant. My booth isn't in the bathroom anymore
  7. I dont have a problem with killing animals for meat. I dont like killing them for trophies though.
  8. here you go, I dont know the story behind the pic so I am assuming its the result of a mistake or some sort of treatment the cows get. The pic is from texas
  9. I live in farming based area and some of the wombles (tourists) really have no clue where their food comes from, but it works both ways too. One of my friends likes to post pics of packaged beef with the tag line "thank a hunter" I responded with shooting cows in a field isn't real hunting and he lost the plot saying thats not the point and I was deliberately making him look dumb.... I think he hears a whooshing sound as things go over his head
  10. pm me your addy and i'll get it posted at he end of the week
  11. Now his working from home short makes a bit more sense, he talked a lot about his models in it while the other hosts were all 1/1 cars
  12. If the monogram 36 engine is suitable to you I have a complete one I wont be using. Its from the street rod kit with the redish car on slotted wheels on the box top. Your welcome to it
  13. Thats a nice quattro, looks just like my neighbours
  14. Where di you find the skoda? and is it 1/24? I've only got the recent belkits rally car though I have been thinking about a resin 110
  15. I tend to mostly build slammed stuff as thats what I'm into. I enjoy scratching the airbags and stuff to make it plausible but often I'll leave them out if they woint be seen. I have done stuff that isn't slammed on the floor but I grew up with a variety of modified car mags, from hotrod through to max power with pretty much everything in between. It probably doesn't help that the first mod I've done on all my cars is how low can i get it and still have it drive. Theres a phrase in the vw scene, If it aint rubbin you aint dubbin
  16. If the trim is molded on the body just mask off after paint with decent tape, then hit it with some matt/satin black
  17. It looks better in your pics than the ones revell released. Do you happen to have a pic looking inside from the back? I'm planning to build mine with a suburu engine when they arrive and just trying to plan ahead for it
  18. no idea mate but i'm in the orkney isles so it wasn't it
  19. could be, the beach around me is covered in it after a shipwreck a couple hundred years ago
  20. I've been on many britten norman islander aircraft and experienced some extremely short take offs and landings, usually in muddy fields. One of my usual flights is a the worlds shortest commercial flight, lasting less than a minute. We also had a vintage plane land at our vintage rally one year and it seemed to stop before it landed.
  21. Its on glass, I tried some old purple roof slate around the same time but found glass easier.
  22. I have 4 terrabytes of music so i play it on shuffle through my soundsystem and I'll have a slideshow of 1/1s of the build playing.
  23. I found a couple of old etchings I did more than 20 years ago today. Not sure why my sisters iphone decided to warp them a little
