  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. I never even thought of that, thanks
  4. A tank is handy for keeping the pressure constant as you are using the air from the tank instead of direct from the pump
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. I enjoy the show but its not one I plan my day around. Its more something I'll watch in the background while I'm at the bench, but I do save them to watch at work too. One thing I've noticed about the okc group is farm truck and azn being missing, they were the highlight of the show for me and seemed like the most fun to be around and had a really good atitude to racing
  8. From the shape of them I would guess they are side stripes but its just a guess
  9. Pretty cool idea, I can see hints of corvair in it
  10. NIce looking truck, I can see why you want a model of it.
  11. Thanks, I'm needing some drag cars in the stash so was hoping its full on rather than a modified 3 in 1 kit
  12. I see a few that interest me.How far from stock is the el camino funny kit
  13. Neat build, it sure looks the part
  14. I cant get the link to open, it just times out
  15. Saw a nice clean 69 vw camper on my way home from work. It was in the typical orange and white combo and pretty nice for a stock dub
  16. heres a few clubs, you'll need to search through them but what you're looking for should be there https://www.classiclandrover.com/ http://www.thelandroverclub.co.uk/
  17. that doesn't really make sense, weren't parents now brought up by parents years ago? lol
  18. Man thats cool, it reminds me of something from a goodguys show or sema
  19. Happy to help mate, and that set we were unsure about might be caddilac, I found a pic the other day that looked like them (late 60s)
  20. Very cool, not much beats a chopped 40 imo
  21. Nice work, the stance and wheels suit it well
  22. I'm sorry you're having problems with your neighbour, they can be very difficult situations to resolve. On this side of the pond they wouldn't be allowed to put drains in that exit on someone elses land (except possibly some farming) but thay can be allowed access to go throuh your land to connect to a drain but then they would be responsible for restoring your land. I'm guessing your not in hoa? You might be lucky and they sell the house when your neighbour passes. Would the county got involved if you maybe had a tempory drain dug so it runs out onto the sidewalk/roads so it becomes a safety issue?
  23. about mathmatical theories
  24. Thanks for that, if painting them doesn't go well its good to have a backup plan
