    Not very detailed really. Thie was more about building a transformer style lowrider. The only change from what was in the box was I swapped the wheels for those from the cougar kit. Theres lots I would do differently now such as opening the doors and I'd give it a more fitting interior

    That looks good, I'd forgotten just how wide these are

    Looks like the furball has made itself right at home already

    I've oly had one mistake from ebay. One store i bought from sent me the wrong kit but they let me keep it if i paid the postage for the correct item. The wrong item ended up with a member here (revell model t ambulance) so it worked out well.

    Thanks, thats how the belkits decals are done too, makes it easier to apply the big decals

    Nice work. I have a question about the decals in the nunu kits, are they done like the belkits decals or all one part?

    Cool, going to have to follow this. Some of the tamiya mercs have engines bt its mostly the larger sedans. The revell brabus sl has a nice straight 6 in it too

    BMW have won their 20th 24hr race at the Nurburgring. Theres an interesting article on speedhunters telling the story and it has lots of pics of the cars. http://www.speedhunters.com/2020/11/decade-waiting-bmws-return-n24-glory/

    I'm wary about using baking soda, I've had problems with it coming through a few months after the builds are finished. It has sent some of my finished builds to the scrap box. I appreciate the suggestion though

    it would be the brand name and licensing rights. In the vw world having an official part gets more show points. Its the same with empi parts and brm wheels. Genuine is always better. Even the fwddrive lot look down on non branded bbs. I know Bruce Mayers has licensed bodies being made in australia and somewhere in europe (or was in the last few years) for sale in those markets. I can see the new owners going something along the lines of the von dutch clothing brand as well as hopefully continuing the licensing agrrements. With a bit of luck it could even be done similar to moon

    I never even thought of that, thanks

    A tank is handy for keeping the pressure constant as you are using the air from the tank instead of direct from the pump

    Hi guys, I've got a resin body I found cheap but it has a lot of pin holes. I'm wondering if my usual filler will work for them or is there something better to use. I have 2 part auto filler, spot putty, humbrol model filler and acrylic nail filler and have ground out the holes a little so theres something for it to bite but my fear is it coming off during the paint process. The body needs a lot of work so I'm not fancying going to all the effort if its not going to work. I dont know f it makes a difference but the resin is white. Thanks for reading

    I've been thinking about getting one of the billings boats wood viking boat kits. This time last year when I was looking they were around 80 quid. I decided it was worth it and went to pull the trigger only to find they have jumped in price to more than double. I think I'll try again near the end of january in the hope someone got one for christmas and has given up on it
