Can I see your guys model stashs' ?
stitchdup replied to Ctmodeler's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
These are my to build stash. The fishing tackle boxes are full of aftermarket wheels and the white boxes are my resin stash. I have all my vw/porsche/vag kits seperated from the rest. As well as these I have a couple of cases of italeri ford escort and transit to put on ebay in a couple of years. These pics are from the start of the year and I've added a load more kits to the build stash since with more on the way. The cupboard with the spitfire sticker holds my spray cans and airbrush + compressor and the drawers are full of glues, wire and brush paints. -
most of our supermarkets have gone the wallyworld route in the uk (asda is a uk division of wallyworld). as for model kits lidl usually gat a selection twice a year of revell kits. mostly its military/aircraft but cars feature occaisonally

You would need the monogram kit and a 40 coupe/convert for the rear end. I think there is one done this way on the forum

Hanging it up (for now)
stitchdup replied to Ahajmano's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We all have priorities and getting your kids educated is an important one. Much respect mate -
I dig it, liking the big bumpers too. Been planning to get a set of the scale production ones for a mk2. I've also been trying to get one of the mk2 jetta transkits but they are pricey when they turn up

I dont suppose you have pics of them? I'd be very interested to see them

In real life it sits above the passat of the time, being just slightly larger. It may use the audi 80/100 platform

MCM Relaunch Update 08/2020
stitchdup replied to larrygre's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Looking forward to it -
It was the polo harlequin we got in the UK but there are a few golfs done in the paint now but not real ones. There was one in aberdeen (polo) that was always parked in the graveyard on union street with the number plate A11LSD I'd love to have one but the interiors on them were a bit plain for the outside. I thought briefly about giving it the US spec bumper side lights (indicators?) but it wouldn't have fitted the build theme. Might do that when I get back to the van Thanks, I'm back to my mk1 escort just now since its close to done, and I built a deutz d30 at work last night so I'll weather both of them at the same time, then back to this

A couple of recnt arrivals. The VW crew cab I got since i was unable to find one of the scale prodcution resin versions, and the santana will probably never be done in plastic so I added it to my VW collection. I'll probably lower both and change the wheels at some point before they goes in the cabinet. There is also a version of the bus with surfboards but the paint schemes on them didn't appeal to me so a set of porsche 968 rims will be the only change. The santana engine plate is pretty nice for a toy and I'm sure some careful work with the micromesh polishing pads will do wonders for the paint

Opel Kadett C Coupe 1973 Rally Edition
stitchdup replied to Ghost_33's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Very nicely done, I would also like to know what kit it is from, my dad had one of the road cars in orange when i was a kid -
unfortunatally once this situation is over it will be the poor and sick that gets punished again for the goverments incompetancy. It always is and boris and co will blame someone else like (lava)tories always do.

cool, nice to see something different

One of the recent hobby design upgrade sets has the stencils included on the pe fret but I forget which set it is. If you do a search on hlj.com you might find them as they include pics of everything included in the sets. Failing that a_modeller on ebay might have them as they seem to carry a lot of older pe sets

If you hover the cursor over someones name it tells you if they are online or when they last visited. I'm on a pc so it might be different on a phone

Either way, I hope the aftermarket bring out a stock door panels and dash for it -

I've been looking forward to this one. Wasn't there pics of the built-up at the suzuka? hobby show late last year? -
different can but looks like the same thing we have in the uk, when its goes off does feel slightly sticky?

What did you see on the road today?

A lancia delta drove past me on my way to work tonight, It had the martini rally decor but no wide arches and the engine sounded too quiet to be an integralle. Still a nice looking car and not a lump of rust like most were locally. Last night I saw a swiss registered early moggy minor traveller getting on a ferry, Looked to be a clean maintained original rather than a restored one -
I needed to do something at work (im nightwatch on a boat) so since I have some 17" teddies and splash paints I'm building a 90s style harlequin. I'm using the fujimi golf cl/gl kit. The first step was to fill the sunroof area as it always sinks when the paint goes on. Next I smoothed out the rear bumper to get rid of the upper bodylines. Around the front the bumper was just too fussy so to go with the late 90s brit look the indicators/fog lights and number plate have been deleted. I'm thinking the rear lights will be tinted green again for the 90s look. The wheels will be white and most of the interior will be black with the 4 exterior colours in the centers of the seats. While the kit has an engine plate if you want to open the hood, this one will be remaining a curbside, but it will be slammed and stanced as all vws should be, lol

I'm guessing you have the custom version of the kit, the original style ribbed ones are in the stock kit
