  1. Cool it was always fun to see these on tv spitting fire
  2. Sweet, love these old buses
  3. now that made me laugh, thanks
  4. Thats real nice work, its captured the look of the racing skylines perfectly
  5. AC/DC at castle donnington 1991. I told my parents I was staying at a friends for the weekend then jumped on a boat and travelled 600 miles on my own. I was 14 at the time and when I got home my parents were very unhappy with me but it was worth it
  6. Looking good Nigel, I like your colour choices. I did mine in bright pink
  7. They sound like the sort of people that only have pets for social media likes. My mum has a neighbour that is like that. When we were on lock down she went and stayed at her boyfriends and left her cats to fend for themselves so me and my mum fed them for 12 weeks. This annoyed her cos we didn't give them the right food. She also has a dog and in the 3 years she has had it, we've never seen her take it for a walk.
  8. Glad you managed to save it, its a cool build
  9. Great work on the save, if you hadn't said I dont think anybody would know
  10. You can get the jag suspension from motobitz in the uk, probably get 3 sets for the price of one kit. Its a very nice piece with each part seperate. I'm using one on my 30 delivery
  11. scaleproduction.de do some of the singer porsche style ones and I've seen others at a place that did resin circle track parts but the name of it is slipping my mind just now
  12. Very slick, I'm liking the style
  13. Thats cool, its nice to see the older trucks getting some love
  14. I'll be subscribing next payday, looking forward to having something to read thats model cars
  15. Here's the 3 actors that have been inside the suit
  16. Very cool, the stance is perfect for the style and the big rims in a the traditional style suits it to a tee. Nice to see big brakes behind them too
  17. Very fine work, the bed floor is a fun detail to have
  18. I enjoy roadkill, but it would be better if freiburger stopped shouting everything. Its like he has the same volume control as a toddler
  19. I dont know if its the same in the us, but they are still available. In the uk they seem to be mostly in house paint type shops now or general tool shops
  20. I enjoy the show but at the same time i cant say i'm a fan of most of his work, but the bike was pretty cool, and the tanker style truck/car in the first series was cool. It seems the premise of the show is to do things in the shortest possible time without any sort of consideration for good engineering. I saw one where they cut a caddilac x chassis down and i certainly wouldn't want to drive it any distance. I do like that he starts with cars that are no use for much else though. But after seeing what his stuff gets built for, all i can say is you get what you pay for and cheaping out like he does proves it. I'm pretty sure the green goblin model built by a member here is much higher quality and safer to drive (and its a 1/25 plastic model)
  21. I havent myself but a friend gets some really nice results with it. I believe he thins it with washer fluid but I;m not certain on that
  22. its anything over 15 quid is supposed to get vat added., its caught me out a few times. Its stopped me buying stuff from the states. I know i've had a few orders that got a lot added on when it got here, but others of higher value got nothing. https://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/International-customs-charges-leaflet-Jan-2017.pdf also they include shipping when they do the calculation
  23. Nice work mate, really liking the door panels
  24. Take care when ordering from ebay in the states mate, anything over 15 quid will cost you import duty on top. Try dave coloys emporium in the uk or kingkit in the uk as they have a decent selection of us kits and aren't too bad on price for some of them
  25. Some more progress. I'm going to get the fenders how i want them before i finish shaping under the rear of the body, which i'll probably do after my work week is over as i think the dremel will work best at it. I will be making the fenders less square at the back too as i dont like how i have them now
