  1. heres a better pic of the seats, i removed the rear and used the seats from a studebaker in mine. the fronts are smooth but the rears have a button in the centre of each side in a round depression (i highlighted the buttons with pencil)
  2. Italeri do a curbside 1303 ragtop, its the same as the imai kit and the ragtop parts will fita tamiya body. Also bestmodelcarparts on ebay do a hebmuller ragtop which is very nice
  3. I can second the c1 powder, it gives a different finish depending on the base colour used so if you use it you may have to experiment to get the metal colour you want but its good stuff and not toxic like the other one (cant remember its name but i think it sounded japanese)
  4. Nice work, unimogs are great fun off road
  5. use the report post in the top right corner and the moderators will fix it mate
  6. I'd have to go for the revell mk1 or 2 golfs. Wih some scratchbuilding I could build a few jettas or the south americans versions but after those were done it would be time for a new hobby
  7. Theres a few of the parts your looking for available on ebay from a seller called 3dp_scalemodelshop and also have a look through the dolls house section, a lot of them are 1/24 parts and nicely detailed. Have a look in the toy section of your piund/dollar shops too as they often have toys that can be repurposed
  8. Some engines from icemancollections on the auction site. 3 of his vw vr6 engines and a cummins 6bt. I also got a few sets of his mirrored turbos
  9. try bmamodelworld.com Michelle, the shipping might not be as bad as you think as the australian dollar is pretty low value just now. I've had parts from them (and amodeller on ebay) and the shipping was less than parts from inside the uk
  10. I build vehicles mainly, mostly customised in some way but I've got a 1/24 spitfire that will pronanly end up as the load on a truck. I would like to build one of the wooden viking ships at some point. I'd like to build more big rogs but space is a problem for me. Also I have a 1/24 dino skeleton to build at some point but it will probably be some sort of diorama that includes a vehicle or two
  11. Kitchen table resin did a grille and hood conversion for the amt 36 kit but i believe they have stopped producing parts now
  12. Looks pretty good mate. I find when masking for the black on glass, that doesn't have a window mask included, that masking the outline on the outside first with cheap tape then using good tape to do the inside helps. It makes it much easier to see where the tape needs to go
  13. and you said rap was bad, lol. but then it influenced a lot of later styles and had a sorta revival fairly recently if shortlived,
  14. run dmc and aerosmith walk this way worked pretty well too and opened up a new genre of crossovers
  15. Glad to see the outkast aqumini album there, its rap but not the usual type and I'm sure some of you would actually enjoy their stuff. I tend to take these lists with a grain of salt, usually it turns out to be which companies paid the most advertising. I'm a rap fan and have been for 25 years since the run dmc aerosmith crossover track walk this way, then there was a movie soundtrack that was all crossovers that really opened me up to rap music (being on a small scottish island it was totally mind blowing to me that there was something more than just rock, folk and country (isn't all country just songs about beating your wife cos your dog shot your truck(joke)). I've only looked through the top 50 and I have 38 of them on original vinyl. I still listen to lots of other music styles too and recently bought willie nelsons new album but it not up to his older stuff imo. But then isn't music more about how it makes you feel rather than the content? it would be a pretty boring place is we were all stuck with one style of music. the more styles of music there are, the more they help each other. Just like building models really, wouldn't it suck if we only had one kit? dont we all take inspiration from other places? and read the producer credits on your rock albums, some of you might be surprised how many rock groups are produced by rap deejays
  16. Glad to see you're staying with us Carl, even if you're just here for a distraction you have many friends here as you can see from the comments
  17. you can still track it on the origin countries national postal carrier and most have an option to view in english
  18. scamdoc.com rate the site at 1% trustworthy so save your money.
  19. rolling some blue tack over the tape residue should remove it if its on gloss paint. I havent tried it on matt paints
  20. If they ever did that the magazine would have to be called its raining
  21. Been put on a partial lockdown again, possibly for 6 months. I'm only going to see one person at work for a couple of mins every two weeks and have to spend the rest of the time alone because of my imunocompromised chest. Its going to be hell spending all that time alone. My only other option is to quit my job and move out to my mums but that means losing my home. Not sure what the best idea is
  22. Local to me there are 24 of the new mustangs which is pretty high for somewhere with about 25,000 people. 5 of them are the v6 and the rest are v8s. I know one guy bought 2 so he could stash one away but then the same guy has built his house around his mini and sierra rs500 both of which just has delivery miles on but if he was to sell he would have to take down a outside wall. My dad was one of the builders on the house and he said it was a major pita having to work wround the cars and not get any marks on it. They had a lot of duvets and tarps over it
  23. You might find the tractor paint doesn't react the way normal enamels do. We used them at a previous job and it was awful to flat, even after 2 months it gunked up the wet n dry paper. The boss tried using the machine polisher on it and it wrecked the mophead with the amount of colour that came off. We found out later that its just a spray and forget type of thing to be used on industrial stuff where the finish isn't so important
