  1. Cool car, not something I expected to see as a kit. I find bleach strips the chrome in less than ten mins, and you can pour it down the sink after
  2. So along with the 3 bugs I'm also building a couple of curbside t1s. The bus just needs the chrome added and a little more weathering on the soft top and its ready for final assembly. The wheels are brm from uscp and I'm using the ribbed bumpers from the recent revell camper as the smooth ones supplied in the hasegawa kit weren't to my taste and the ribbed ones give it an earlier look Next we have the hasegawa pick up. I was at a bit of a loss as to how to build it different until I remembered I had the turntable ladder from the heller delaheye kit sitting unused (the delaheye is being turned into a car hauler with matching delaheye custom). I am using porsche 968cs wheels and brakes from the hasegawa kit and have lowered it by raising the floor into the body. Since I dont have any older type blue lights I'm probably going to colour some orange ones in red. I got the ladders (over 4 feet of them) and turntable assemled and painted earlier but dont have any pics of that yet As you can see my bench is pretty packed with vws just now
  3. yes sir, heres the full pic
  4. I've seen a few of the emek ones detailed up and they look pretty good
  5. Here we go folks, I wont worry too much about the year
  6. 1961 buick electra?
  7. If you have any of the aoshima stanced nissan (early skylines etc) the tyres from the stock parts are a decent fit on the tamiya wheels
  8. It shouldn't be much longer, euro release around june I believe
  9. If you have nothing else deodrant sprays work, just spray loads on til it wet, leave a couple mins then it wipes off
  10. Heres my crown jewells 1, vw hebmuller resin trans kit 2, belkits mk1 escort 3, aoshima datsun cedric lowrider
  11. try fred aldous, thats where i get my bmf
  12. I ordered a takeaway from one of the local chinese restarauns tonight. I said to make it up to 20 quid with sweets meaning bars of chocolate etc. Instead I got a carrier bag of penny sweets. I guess there was a miscommunication somewhere but I feel sorry for the person that had to count them out
  13. That kid done well, and I'm sure opened a few eyesI'm looking forward to the americas list. It would be nice to see racers from the rest of the world take them on but I guess that wont be happening any time soon..
  14. Sweet project, I recently got the foose truck to the samething to the stepside
  15. If you look in the nail art section of amazon theres chrome tape available. It comes in various chrome colours and is dirt cheap
  16. The amt kit is still available, I think the most recent version has a two tone grey one on the box
  17. Are you guys a week behind? I've just watched the final but I wont give any spoilers
  18. The only one we didn't know about was the big lotus, all the rest were announced within the last couple of years at shizuka. I know the audi has been on my radar for a while now
  19. It might have put up a fight but you got a last round KO. The reflections in the paint really show how nice it is
  20. I'm not sure if its specificly for fujimi kits (it might be tamiya) but there are conversions from c1 and hobby desgn to build an rwb porsche and scale production may have some parts to build a singer porscheas well. Uscp do some engine parts (exhaust and air cleaners also
  21. I wouldn't use cooking oil, its dries up into a sticky mess (former chef speaking from experience)
  22. The yellow convertible ran hot rod drag week a few years ago. Apparently it surprised a few big names before it broke
  23. no its in mph, and as far as i know ts still a full quarter mile too
  24. I hope so mate
  25. More progress
