    Its just like other shows, the parts will be built up to check fit, then refitted for film when they know it works. Look at axmens car he built, its been lying at the end of the drive for years but the wheels are shiny and still roll. same with kye's car being conveniently forgotten til the end of the show. Personally the end game show could be cut down to an hour and be more entertaining. I actually stopped watching ryans build as it was almost as boring as watching paint dry. hopefully murder novas donk will be a fun watch. and why doesn't JJ have a chat or game show yet? he'd be a pretty good host imo

    Of course we have all heard the phrase dont take a knife to a gun fight, but in poland during the 16th centuary, 5000 swordsmen defeated a combined swedish and russian force of over 25000 guns with swords

    doubt is very important when it comes to peer reviewed sciences.

    its on air ride, when its pumped up the wheels sit a bit squarer in the arches. Some have custom suspensions built to allow them to run with all the camber on full drop but they are mostly built in japan where the roads are much better than ours.

    just doing the panels would work for me, and it might mean it will fit both the tamiya and revell kits

    I'd have one

    i was expecting glitter and scents, how disappointing, lol

    This one is available from numerous 3d print vendors. its for the tamiya bug but i'm sure a little trimming of the revell floor will get it fitting too

    Boring, a small town in the usa is twinned with dull, a small town in scotland

    I dont really mind any of the trends. I dont get why donks seem to have candy brand wraps but I enjoy seeing them race, butat the same time i wouldn't want to own one. Same goes with some of the ridiculously lifted trucks, but the engineering done to acheive the right look is nice to see on show. As long as folk are having fun with cars, it helps us all. Theres even classic tuners starting to appear at goodguys events and that can only be a good thing as it exposses other styles into the mix. It would be pretty boring if modified cars stopped at flathead 32s or pro street camaros, not that theres anything wrong with them. The cars myself and my peers could afford were cheap front wheel drive hatchbacks but it didn't stop us modifying them. Sure none of the "mods (lol)" I'd do now and I'd try to guide kids in a safer way (saving time cutting down the front springs by simply cutting one in half, first bump they fell out, lol) but thats half the fun of playing with cars, we all start somewhere and I'm sure dave kindig and chip foose have some embarassing mods in their history. We dont have to like everything people build but surely we can like that they like cars too?

    Instruction sheet bloopers are a bit more understandable than this blooper

    That pretty cool, to me it looks like a dodge someone has turned into a euro sports car. The proportions of your build work well together and have given me an idea for somethign similar, thankyou

    its probably the fine grain of the printing confusing our senses, its like we're feeling our finger prints due to the grain on the part being similar sized to our finger prints and our brains just dont know how to deal with it,

    I've had part that had a rubbery texture, but after washing them they seemed ok. These parts were firm to hold but felt rubbery, they werent pliable like rubber. I hope that makes sense

    Thats a cool looking building, do you know what the roof is? it has a slightly natural material look to it

    I got taken for a run in this old foden steamer truck. I've only seen them on youtube videos previously and i was surprised at how fast it was. It easily hit 60mph. Not a lot of space in the cab due to the boiler and massive flywheels, and it would be extremely easy to lose all your fingers from one hand as the gap between the steering and flywheel was only 2 inches. The owner said you only get it wrong once

    I like it, the front reminds me of a nash with just a hint of mopar while the rear reminds me of some french 30s coachbuilts with hints of corvette along the sides. I think just a little clean up or lightening of the pillars around the back edge of the doors would improve the look a lot but altogether it has an almost finshed feel.

    I would expect them to not work, the vinyl is fairly thick and the heat needed to make it conform would warp the styrene. Hair dryers are alot hotter than people think and cause a large number of serious burns each year. It would work for diecast metal parts though

    my go to for rust is brown enamels dry brushed on in various shades, then it goes in a bag with powdered rust made from soaking wire wool in vinegar or brine until its dried off and leaves a nice lump of rust for the mortar and pestle. A gentle shake and it looks like its sat outside for years.

    from making of jurassic park, sure looks like hand painting to me

    Another year, another vintage rally. Since this year marks 75 years of the ferguson tractor there were over 170 of them on show today along with many other brands of tractor. We also had 3 steam engines and 2 steam lorries. I include a selection of todays vehicles and will be adding more tomorrow as its the busier day and better weather is expected too. If there are any vehicles you would like more pics of please list them in the thread and i will get as many as i can tomorrow. As usual there are another 350 pics on my flickr account so include those vehicles if you wish. link to my flickr- https://www.flickr.com/photos/111449995@N04/albums
