There's one shop in the uk that just used brown paper, I stopped ordering from them after 3 kits arrives squashed and they tried to say it was sent in a box. Now i take photos of the packaging as i open them

you dont want to see his aurora concept car then, but his other concept car that was based on a ford drawing is pretty neat https://www.andysaunders.net/cars/

that ones art, built by andy saunders in brighton. He builds a lot of wild cars especially short minis. One of my friends owns the last one he built

The owner of the corolla is pretty obviously making fun of it, at least thats what the sticker on the bonnet says to me. The yellow car looks like one of my drawing from when i was 5

denial?

thanks for the link, if the shipping aint too high I'll be having one of them

cool

There's also a resin rover v8 available, I've got one in the stash somewhere I was saving for a brit style pop or mk1 cortina. I hope aoshima will release the rostyles as a wheel set, nothing wrong with mg, just not my thing

cool

Some more work tonight. The fenders have been putting up a fight so I made the decision to glue them to the chassis and build the rears up with tubs which I then used to get them together. Instead of using fresh plastic i used some scraps for the inner sections and will be sanding them down flush before the filler goes on. To enable me to use the jag rear end the rear is about 5 or 6mm wider than stock. No stance pics just now but it has a nice rake and is very low. Next job after the fenders are filled is to cut out the rear arches from the body. For the rear door I'm thinking to set the stock rear window into the body and scribe a single door. Still lots more to do and when its finished only the grille will be stock as literaly everything else is either scratched or heavily modded and I'm having lots of fun with it to the point I've been getting up at stupid o clock to work on it, and i'm someone that likes his sleep, lol. The frame is straight, its just a bad photo angle

having lived near an abatoir I would agree with that, nothing makes you look for a new house faster than hot day, and making glue would smell even worse. Imagine burning a nappy but a thousand times worse

A little more done. I cant remember who's thread I saw this done on recently here, but after seeing their thread and how they fixed the trim on their coupe I decided to copy them on this. Until I saw their thread I hadn't noticed how wrong the trim is so I sanded all the body lines away and replaced them with half round strips. I also carried the trim around the box body and redid the roof but i've not taken pics of it yet, before after

I build both ways, i'll take a poor kit to work and do a build start to finish in a night like the terrible mitsuawa golf cabrio, brush painted it and threw it together. At home I'll spend more time and try to make something better than the last build. I'm quite happy to spend hours adding stuff but sometimes that bites back too, I spent a month wiring a heavily customised kennmary skyline, then put it on a race style bellypan and hid a months worth of work never to be seen again. I also enjoy making aircooled dub models have working suspension. At the end of the day I enjoy both ways of building

Theres been an incident in glasgow, my sister is there for an ambulance training course and it took well over an hour to get hold of her. I was starting to panic

It's a scottish thing, its called celtic know work and its on some of our stone age monuments. Pretty simple to draw really. I've been doing it for years and use it to hide words. This is just a doodle but it follows the same rules, it says rowdi in case you cant make it out. Unlike the roof this is one line though

My current fav of mine, the roof was hand drawn with an architects pen before a coat of hok hot pink

I think they are all excelent but this one stands out to me, i'll be using it as inspiration when i get ot my razor edge ghia

A fairly mild abrasive cleaner (on this side of the pond its called cif) and someone elsesonly leaves very mild scratching on the surface (or an old one, lol) toothbrush. It can then be polished back to smooth plastic fairly quickly as it

I've seen it done with diesel tractors, mostly the ones i saw were home conversions

Yes, this one is a circuit racer, I've not really done a good comparison between the 2 yet but i believe the engine has some differences too. I think it might end up getting a cossie turbo engine when i get ot it. Also it has bbs rims

Cool plan, i like the look with the fuchs on

Arrived today. This is my second of these but this one is complete (my other had flaking decals and no tyres) I was lucky to get it for less than half the price they normally go for as it was listed as ertl with no mention of esci. Does anyone know if this had 2 releases? this one is molded in blue, but my other is molded in a very dark blue/almost black. I could possibly let one of them go if someone has an ertl farm plough or trailer kit (built up or unbuilt) as I have a few tractors to build and the scale difference wouldn't be so obvious with farm stuff

This vw santana arrived today, it was listed as 1/24 but in reality its a chunk smaller. I'll be lowering it and changing the wheels to something more euro look, possibly some scale production snowflakes

Bestmodelcarparts have great service, when i found out he produced the vw heb he didn't have them listed so i sent him a message asking and he replied straight away that he did produce them but had none in stock so give him a few days. i missed the first one he listed as someone else got there first (the joys of timezones, lol) but he made me another. the price was very fair too for the amount of parts it included. I will definately be buying from them again.
