  1. Great work on the save, if you hadn't said I dont think anybody would know
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Very slick, I'm liking the style
  5. Thats cool, its nice to see the older trucks getting some love
  6. I'll be subscribing next payday, looking forward to having something to read thats model cars
  7. Here's the 3 actors that have been inside the suit
  8. 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
  9. Very fine work, the bed floor is a fun detail to have
  10. I enjoy roadkill, but it would be better if freiburger stopped shouting everything. Its like he has the same volume control as a toddler
  11. I dont know if its the same in the us, but they are still available. In the uk they seem to be mostly in house paint type shops now or general tool shops
  12. I enjoy the show but at the same time i cant say i'm a fan of most of his work, but the bike was pretty cool, and the tanker style truck/car in the first series was cool. It seems the premise of the show is to do things in the shortest possible time without any sort of consideration for good engineering. I saw one where they cut a caddilac x chassis down and i certainly wouldn't want to drive it any distance. I do like that he starts with cars that are no use for much else though. But after seeing what his stuff gets built for, all i can say is you get what you pay for and cheaping out like he does proves it. I'm pretty sure the green goblin model built by a member here is much higher quality and safer to drive (and its a 1/25 plastic model)
  13. I havent myself but a friend gets some really nice results with it. I believe he thins it with washer fluid but I;m not certain on that
  14. its anything over 15 quid is supposed to get vat added., its caught me out a few times. Its stopped me buying stuff from the states. I know i've had a few orders that got a lot added on when it got here, but others of higher value got nothing. https://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/International-customs-charges-leaflet-Jan-2017.pdf also they include shipping when they do the calculation
  15. Nice work mate, really liking the door panels
  16. Take care when ordering from ebay in the states mate, anything over 15 quid will cost you import duty on top. Try dave coloys emporium in the uk or kingkit in the uk as they have a decent selection of us kits and aren't too bad on price for some of them
  17. Some more progress. I'm going to get the fenders how i want them before i finish shaping under the rear of the body, which i'll probably do after my work week is over as i think the dremel will work best at it. I will be making the fenders less square at the back too as i dont like how i have them now
  18. A little more progress. Next up is to fine tune the gaps around the wheel arches and rear. I might make this a bit more traditional with a vette 6 cylinder and some wide whites but since there isn't really a plan we'll see what happens
  19. Cool builds, the pick up is particulary cool
  20. the b pillars are getting removed mate, going for something along the lines of boyd coddingtons lead zephyr style with it
  21. Its probably going to be something modern, I've got a clearly scale lexus engine I've been wanting to use so most likely it will end up in the bay with some big wheels and brakes
  22. This will be my third attempt at the monogram van kit. So far it been almost a sloper sedan, then a humpback sedan and now I'm not sure what its going to be. I started with the unfinished humpback and proceeded to cut the back end off completely then scratched up a new roof and rear quarters. I extended the rear fenders using some bug parts and now I have to decided what Im going to do to the front ones. I'm leaning towards stretching them back into the rears but that may change. I think i will be going for the open glass with this as the door pillars just aren't floating my goat The start and how it sits now
  23. saw a new beetle rsi on the home from work this morning
  24. Washing in warm water should make the decals come off fairly easily
