  1. Enjoying watching this come together and a thought occured to me, patina by kfc (11 herbs and spices)
  2. Nice work, I think its the first time I've seen one of these, real or model
  3. Sweet, I bet that would be fun to take on the track
  4. Nice collection, the 36 custom is very similar to one I've got inline for building
  5. I'd buy some of them or any other brands from that era if they were available
  6. Thats a nice front end, I used the same front end when I did mine but wish now i had left off the chevy eyebrows from above the lights
  7. I lean towards vw/audi etc family of kits but dont limit myself to just those and probably have more others than vw. I Have bought kits based on the box art or just to see what they are like. n example of this would be the amt original customising 57 chevy and 50 ford kits I really only got for the boxes. The chevy was a wreck but the ford turned out to be mint. As far as manufacturers I buy from any that have something that I like the look off but I prefer the japanese brands or newer revell for subject matter that holds my interest or if something is a screaming deal I'll take a chance on it. My favourite parts of building is doing heavy custom body work to suit my tastes and my least favourite part is final assembly/completion as I find it a bit depressing until I start the next one. I dont mind a curbside kit but prefer them to have an engine and decent interior but chassis detail isn't important to me as how many people ever look at the models chassis once completed (hot rods are an exception to this as so much of the look depends on the chassis). I like glue kits but also use glue on snap kits and the more options the better for me and would like to see some of the muscle kits come with modern engine options and alternate parts for lowering. As for a non subject matter suggestion revell in europe need to use decent boxes, once they have been opened once they lose all rigidity and are just useless for anything else, and I would refer them to the us boxes that manage to hold their shape for long after the kit is built. 1/1 cars I'd like in my garage (all would be customised) mk3 golf gti 16v on throttle bodies. I know there are more powerful options available but I just like the look of the 90s euro look stuff from germany in the mid 90s vw sp2 on bags and some mesh style wheels nissan skyline r32 tuned to around 600 bhp mk2 jaguar chopped and 2 doored 1936 ford chopped in the kustom style 1933/4 ford hotrod 3 window smoothed and modern styled vw t2 bay window bus with a suburu engine and more luxury type interior
  8. Cool it was always fun to see these on tv spitting fire
  9. Sweet, love these old buses
  10. now that made me laugh, thanks
  11. Thats real nice work, its captured the look of the racing skylines perfectly
  12. 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
  13. Looking good Nigel, I like your colour choices. I did mine in bright pink
  14. 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.
  15. Glad you managed to save it, its a cool build
  16. Great work on the save, if you hadn't said I dont think anybody would know
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Very slick, I'm liking the style
  20. Thats cool, its nice to see the older trucks getting some love
  21. I'll be subscribing next payday, looking forward to having something to read thats model cars
  22. Here's the 3 actors that have been inside the suit
  23. 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
  24. Very fine work, the bed floor is a fun detail to have
