  1. I've taken out a sub but I was after the deadline for issue 207 so will be starting with 208. I would also like to purchase a copy of 207 if possible as I saw no option for back issues in the subs section
  2. You can ask the moderators to do that for you, or add a post at the end saying no longer available. The edit feature doesn't last for long once you create a post
  3. I think I'll have to add one of these to my watch list

    71 GTX

    Nicely done Tom, The v10 looks right at home in there
  5. w h smith also do distribution for the independant newsagents so if you can get with them it opens up more than just w h smith shops
  6. I'm pretty sure you could sell that front suspension to a high end art gallery as sculpture. It looks awesome
  7. the international shipping is only worth doing on large lots imo. I almost bought a set of resin caps until i saw ebay wanted $75 for shipping, yet a lot of 20 kit shipped for $80. Both were from the us to scotland and the same region. Just now I tend to buy from australia on ebay as the exchange rate is pretty favourable in my direction and shipping isn't much more than inside the uk
  8. have you looked at dolls house hinges? they are available in 1/24 and some of the door ones look just like those you've shown
  9. I say that all the time but then this happens.
  10. Fun night on the boat i work on, about an hour after i started we lost all but 2 lines aloing with our shore power cable. I was onboard by myself for about an hour and a half after until the local pilot boat manged to get alongside and put a small crew on. I'm usually the nightwatch/cleaner but so i really didn't have any idea what to do. we're still not back at the pier but at least we now have power again and there are folk that know what to do. The boat i work on is a seacat passenger ferry so I was not really in any danger even if it went ashore but it i was still extremely stressed over it as its a lot of responsibility if it did go ashore. We have the local lifeboat on standby just in case anything else goes wrong tonight
  11. I've said that many times, but last year I got rid of my tv to make space for more kits and still had to add more shelving. Currently I have them stacked to the roof and under anything that has space for a kit. In my deffence, the past year was different as i was working a lot more so spending it on kits for when my wages drop was like me planning ahead
  12. Maybe trying another set of wheels/tyres would let it work for you
  13. this is why you wash your smart car in 30 degree water. Really its a motorised wheel chair under all that plastic
  14. Today I made a revell charger chassis fit a johan 63 plymouth and got half way through building a turbo system to fit the 440, them I got some more done on a very 60s 37 ford, a 65 c10 crew cab dually custom and the 39 chevy custom. I'm trying to free up some space on the bench so I can start the revell vw camper but all my projects have snowballed so it may be some time before i get to it. At least it will only be slammed on some brms
  15. they all redirect to motortrend, says something about european data laws then opens motortrend
  16. Went to have a look on hot rod mag website and it redirected me to motortrend. Its seems those of us in europe aren't allowed to look any more. Tried super street, lowrider and truck trend too but it was the same story. All i can look at on any motortrend site is new standard cars which have very little interest to me. Anybody able able to suggeat some non motortrend sites that feature modified cars and trucks?
  17. thanks for the info mate, I'll try the local wrap place and see wht they have. theres not many options where i am
  18. I like the changes you've made,
  19. Nice tutorial, I'll have to try this some time. Is this the same vinyl they use to wrap cars?
  20. Nice work, it may have given you problems but the important thing is its finished
  21. That gembella kinda reminds me of the rx7 fortune body kit (the one that got totalled in tokyo drift)
  22. I've got some of them but they seem kinda thick for the spray cans. They are big cans though compared to duplicolour. Next time I use them I'm going to try the warming the can trick to see if it makes a difference
  23. jawell paints can do usa colours mate
  24. 1. revell 40 ford 2 tamiya beetle 3. tamiya new beetle 4. tamiya mk4 golf 5. fujimi mk3 golf 6. tamiya karmann ghia 7. fujimi t1 vw series 8. amt 62 chevy bel air 9. revell/monogram 1/24 hot rod kits (cany narrow them down) 10. amt or revell 60-65 chevy c10 kits This could all change depending what i buid next but these are the kits I have more then 1 of. If I enjoy building a kit I usually replace it before finishing as I have more than 1 idea for most of these, or have trans kits for them
  25. thats looking great, I like your colour choices
