  1. no idea mate but i'm in the orkney isles so it wasn't it
  2. could be, the beach around me is covered in it after a shipwreck a couple hundred years ago
  3. I've been on many britten norman islander aircraft and experienced some extremely short take offs and landings, usually in muddy fields. One of my usual flights is a the worlds shortest commercial flight, lasting less than a minute. We also had a vintage plane land at our vintage rally one year and it seemed to stop before it landed.
  4. Its on glass, I tried some old purple roof slate around the same time but found glass easier.
  5. I have 4 terrabytes of music so i play it on shuffle through my soundsystem and I'll have a slideshow of 1/1s of the build playing.
  6. I found a couple of old etchings I did more than 20 years ago today. Not sure why my sisters iphone decided to warp them a little
  7. I've had some of the ultra chrome turn black on me. It polishes up again though with non abrasive metal polishes (abrasive leaves scratches). I think as long as the glue is still good you should be able to polish it up and use it
  8. oh that looks very nice, if i built biggger scales I would save up for it
  9. That wont be a problem mate, the tamiya bug chassis should fit and I have loads of nicer wheels than the ones pictured on the box
  10. Very cool builds guys. Russell, your backwards bug reminds me of something I have planned for a build. I think its a rendering or maybe even a model
  11. Italeri rereleased the transit short ago in police and gas liveries. There's also the vw bay window bus just been released in europe ( snap kit but judging by the revell tractors it wont be that noticable) I think jimmy flintstone does some resin vans too but they might be earlier body styles
  12. The revell 50 ford custom pick up has some nice ardun heads and some other bits in it, and i think the 48 ford custom kit also has some speed parts
  13. Man thats tiny. I can send you some horse hair if you want to wire the engine, lol
  14. Nice selection of cars there, thanks for sharing
  15. The local vintage club are having a road run today. Some of the cars stopped outside so I grabbed mums ipad to get pics of them. There were a load more that didn't stop including the oldest original model t in the uk. The black lagonda is a big car and it sounded very smooth with that slight hiss sound cars of this era make. The old fergie tractor wasn't part of the run, its still a work tractor
  16. I dont know what type of phone you have but you should be able to email the pics to yourself and get them on the computer that way mate
  17. You guys have some pretty neat veedubyas
  18. I wouldn't use the dremell, a razor saw/pe saw will cut much closer and you'll have more control.
  19. Have a look at any of Stephen Gunthmiller's build threads and you'll find the answer you need (appologies if I spelt the name wrong)
  20. Since there's been threads for other types I thought I would start one for volkswagen group cars. Post anything from vw, audi, seat, skoda, porsche, lamborghini, man, ducati etc. If its part of the vw family feel free to post it. I'll start with my vw hebmuller. Its built from the bestmodelcarparts resin kit with a tamiya donor and some highlight model studio pe and a coupke of scratch built battered cases Next is a diolex transkit mk3 golf wagon on scale production wheels followed by a c1 old n new porsche I have a load more but I'm more interested in seeing yours in any build style. As long as its vw based so alternative bodies over vw chassis is ok too
  21. theres one of the dauphine on ebay uk just now, its gone above what I'd pay though. Was at 52 quid about an hour ago with 5 hours to go
  22. Me too, but mine didn't have the pop top cos I replaced the roof. Made the hammock a bit pointless though, lol
  23. Nicely done mate, you've got plenty of detail in those tiny cars. When I bought mine I was surprised how small it was and thought they'd put a 1/32 in the wrong box
  24. It look to me like they have a type 4 engine in it which is different to what I had, and the steering column looks bent in the pics. The tow hitch is nice touch though and hopefully the aftermarket will bring out a piece to convert it to the other versions
  25. The revell t2 bus is now available to purchase in europe. I've got mine on the way and will do a full review once they arrive but heres the pics from hannants website and a sneak pic of the camper version coming later this year (i'd expect it before christmas but no official date yet) heres the camper I know I'm looking forward to them arriving, the first one is getting a scooby engine and 17" brms and the other might get mixed with the hasegawa pick up. I can easily see me buying more. I have lots of fun memories of these old buses having owned a proper beater of a camper that ate engines like candy. Not a problem when they were readily available for peanuts and could be swapped in less than 20 mins
