He's been pushing for kye to win and its not sitting well with the others. He seems to think everyone else should just lay down without realising or caring that they are all still in the running to win if ryan misses his tune, except for bobby who he told should be losing to them first round every week and bobby rightly said no to that.

I'm in. I'll be trying to finish my disguised race car escort and now its not a disguised race car I can build it the way I would do in real life. Maybe I'll get it finished this year. I'm not sure which year the kit represents but I have both grille styles so it wont be a problem. I'll need to invest in a lot of decal softener as I plan to do most of the removable panels in carbon fibre to be more a modern style. It will still be cosworth powered and will represent a 1976 car

I would say its your choice, and I'm sure I've seen dioramas with figures bought ready painted. It might not be accepted at a contest but if you're happy just go for it. At the end of the day its still your build.

thats a later issue, the first is in turquoise plastic

and they missed out what it actually means but you guys can look that up in the oxford english dictionary yourselves

I ordered a new large cutting mat on amazon, instead of rolling it up they sent it flat packed in a box bigger than my tv arrived in

Thats a good looking chop, and your scraper tool for the window area is something I'll try to remember. Such a neat trick but well worth it when the glass is fitted, tahnks for sharing it

there's a thread on them somewhere onthe site, i think its called monogram something (possibly the original series name)

The wheels i sent are model a but i have more bits in the pick up box still

He's been doing that since the kill bill films,

I've got an original but its not that complete. I think I may have put the engine and some other bits in the flathead pile i sent you. I'll look in the box to see what wheels are in it

I'll have to be more careful when i use local to me terminology. For example if I was to write about building a wall plenty of people would probably get offended (or people in yorkshire might wonder how i'm building a stream) and the same happens in reverse too with some american slang/dialect. I know theres one word a lot of you guys use to describe high output builders that would get you in trouble over here as it means child abuser in my area. But thats the way of language, terms have different meanings in different areas. Its like the stories about chevy cars that renamed for the spanish speaking countries

Theres a few 3d printed resin v12 lincoln engines on ebay. Some are hot rodded

I'll assume you've seen the hoonigan lambo from sema this year

theres a guy in belgium doing the same thing with 70s lambos, isn't it great what people can do when they dont care what purists think?

Well I thought the 356 ice racer was the wildest porsche but this popped up on my feed today http://www.speedhunters.com/2021/12/burn-your-rulebook-meet-the-half11/ Its even wilder....

Had a parcel returned by the customs service in the usa. Apparently model car parts wasnt specific enough so now I have to send it again. I always use the same terms so I'm stumped as to why it was refused.

I think you'd be just as good using a metal ruler and no11 blade. The cookie cutter just seems like overkill unless you bake too, and your limited to size and shape but if your doing multiple of the same build i guess it would be handy

The engine in the revell c7 vette looks undersized to my eye but I havent measured it. I'm purely going by comparing it to the amt zl1 engine which is very nice and looks about 10-20 per cent larger then the vette engine in every direction so could be used in a 1/24 build, while the revell vette engine cant due to the size diffence.

its available as a kit too, in the bond markings as little nellie. I want to say its an airfix kit but i'm really not sure. they pop up on ebay quite often

wow thats beautiful

Cool, the mr whippy vans in scotland were all bedford ca's, the commers rusted too fast here

baked into pie

Theres one of these currently parked/broke down next the boat I work on. The hood isn't shut right and theres hand prints from it being pushed on the trunk. Its an austin maxi and I think its in this colour but its hard to tell under the lights. The first car I crashed was one of these and its a kinda funny story. My grandparents lived on a small island where cars were held together with anything that worked. Its not unusual to see some strange fixes such as a 2 door volvo 240 with the drivers door from a 4 door with rope to keep it closed ish. Anyways I was maybe 6 or 7 and staying with my grandparents for the summer holidays. I would spend a lot of time pretending to drive the parts car (grandad had 3 maxis) when I decided the working car would be more fun cos the horn worked (i was a kid so this was important to me, lol) but this was another car basicly cobbled together and it had to be hotwired to start it. I'm sure you can guess whats coming, but I'd seen grandad do this everytime and being a kid I just copied what he did. So I'm sat in the car and I started it, and the car musta been in gear cos it took off and rocketed forwards straight into the middin (cow waste heap) Needless to say grandad got the ignition fixed after that cos granny blamed him for my being an idiot. This pic is from the net cos I dont have my camera with me but i think its the same colour

probably the most outlaw porsche 356 possible- https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2021/12/16/renee-brinkerhoff-and-valkyrie-racing-are-conquering-antarctica-in-a-porsche-356-for-a-cause
