  1. Very cool, the rb looks like it should have always been there
  2. I only have notifications set for 1 email a week. That part is working but its on the site itself i dont get the green number on the bell. It seems to be working now, but yesterday I was quoted/reacted a number of times but only got the one notification. Its not a big deal, I can live without using my profile. It just makes it quicker for me to reply if one is needed
  3. I get the first notification each day, its the ones following that I dont get
  4. I like your vision. It looks much nicer than stock to me. I like your rear end treatment and how it looks sorta spaceshipesque. Playing on that a one piece tail light with a similar treatment to the grille might look cool. I would also bring the top edge of the rear bumper up slightly to bring it inline with the trim above it which could be acheived by a slight reshape to the trim along the bottom of the trunk. At the moment it looks to have a slight droop but this could be a trick of the light. This would also give you a nice body line to use if decide on fender skirts. Looking forwrd to following this
  5. Is anyone else not getting notifications? Since yesterday when someone quotes my posts the notification no longer arrives or shows in the bell icon at the top of the page next our names. They were working earlier in the day
  6. I like to have a detailed engine and interior mainly. I dont worry too much about suspension unless you can see it without lifting the models, and usually most of my chassis are just satin black cos I dont see much point spending a lot of time on something only i will ever see. I dont mind curbsides, especially now with 3d printing as there are many options for engine and interiors that even 3 years ago seemed like a pipe dream. But more important than any of these options is the subject matter and how well done the body is. Theres no point in a nicely detailed interior or engine if the body looks wrong.
  7. there is a resin p6. at least that what it was described as before i made the mistake of buying one. I enclose pics only for your amusement. on the plus side it has round wheels. If it wasn't for the white resin you could see all the pinholes too
  8. Very cool. The story of the cars restoration is also pretty cool if you can find the issue of customs illustrated it was in
  9. The interior on these is that wierd rubberish stuff so its awkward to paint and glue. The tamiya interior fits with a little trimming on the edges. I have a spare interior if you want it
  10. I'll be watching. I recently got a load of printed kits so it'll be interesting to see any pit falls
  11. they made them from the late 40s/very early 50s right through til the 80s. The bodies didn't change too much in that time but the engines got upgraded quite often. Its also got the tightest turning circle of any car being able to do a 180 in just 2 lanes of traffic
  12. I'd ask the 1/24 place if they could do you a set in 1/12.
  13. Its the electricity rise that has me concerned, mine is a pre pay meter so its a little under double what it was. I'm going to be paying more for electric than i do for rent. Being single none of the numbers the gov use apply to me as everythig is calculated based on a couple, It was the same during furlough, I was in the group that got no help so this month my rent is finally caught up and all the extra cash i thought i was going to have now has to go on electric. I dont know why i bother going to work sometimes cos you try to pay your way and just when you think your ahead they move the goalposts yet again and say they had to. And while everybody else is going to be struggling for heat, food and electric those same mps that do nothing to help us, gave themselves a 2 grand payrise. all in it together? only if its brown and falls downhill
  14. th wind gusts musta been 88mph, unplug the flux capacitor next time
  15. You know we could help these guys out, just order something from their websites and tell them to keep the money. Its similar to what is happening with airbnb
  16. So here's the pic I forgot to post. doh! anyway any guesses?
  17. I didn't want it to be too easy for you guys, pic in next post
  18. Anybody want to take a guess at what this is? its not a porsche
  19. Some very nice cars there, the green sedan is probably (third or fourth pic) my fav cos I just love those rears that curve into the ground. Thanks for the pcs
  20. I'm pretty sure tamiya or one of the japanese companies does these
  21. it made me laugh, i didn't notice when i bought it, lol
  22. I got a big box of 3d printed stuff recently and a few more kits. various wheels, mostly for vws but theres some porsche and bmw ones too some golf bodykits, one is the pandem kit and the other is the cabrio clipper kit some alternative grilles and louvres for the revell mk1 golf i think this is might be the wrong name, lol various seats curbside vw variant mk2 scirocco mk1 vw jetta. Theres lots wrong with the body but I hope to make it better tempo matador, the first aircooled vw commercial vehicle and a bit of an oddity as its front wheel drive. I think I'll be doing a lot of mods to the chassis on this as the engine and suspension is pretty poor but I have loads of spare vw parts to sort it vw type 181/trekker/thing full kit early revell vw bus kit. I have a load of the 1/24 kits but this should fit my 1/25 better fendtt tractor and I got 3 more of the t2 vans and 2 campers there is a load of small parts too but its all extra like chain steering wheels, child seats and general clutter for dios
  23. I'm very close to getting the 5, i get my holiday pay at the start of next month so its a strong possibility. The screenshots of gt7 look great. In the late 90s I tested playstation internet on a net yaroze console connected to the internet through a modem. I still have all the kit and paperwork i was sent for that and it got me games up to 6 months before anyone else. That all happened cos i sent back the registration/guarentee slip for the console i bought
