If you want aoshima or fujim rim sets cheaper try 1999.co.jp or hlj.com. Both are in Japan but even with shipping work out much cheaper. An ebay search for resin wheels 1/24 will bring up loads of options, but for ones similat to those in the pic try hobby design as they have loads like those in different sizes but they generally need you to supply tyres. You can find them on the hobby design site or hiroboy in the uk usually have a good selection, however they are shut till this virus goes away.

Way too many ideas to list, but every kit i buy has a plan before i buy them even if its just to be a donor for something else. I have got an idea stuck in my head for a 34 roadster with some styling from the newest version of the ford gt mixed with time attack

I already have the monogram kit and a mcg grille and surround to fit it mate. The amt kits are kinda expensive on this side of the pond

Its mainly the rear im stuck on, i think the 5 windows are a little simpler to chop. if you cut the rear window section out but leave the side windows intact on the body then chop them down with the rest of the roof. My previous chops have been a 40 ford, 62 bel air, 48 ford woody(sectioned too) and a mk2 jag. They weren't too bad to do because of the side windows. Its the lack of side windows thats throwing me off i think. I've had a look on the hamb and ccc forums but the chops they show dont really show where the cuts were done. Maybe I should put a post on ccc in the hope of someone having pics of the cuts or at least a pic of the chop before the welds were cleaned up.

Hey guys, my next project after the hebmuller will be a monogram 36 ford 3 window. I would like to chop it but all i've previously chopped have been 5 windows and I have very little idea where to make the cuts for the rear of the roof. I would like more of a custom chop than hot rod chop as the plan is to use a la salle grille. Thanks in advance

Cool

Made working front suspension on a hebmuller

Today I have pretty much completed the chassis and engine, with just a couple parts to fit after the body has been fitted. I will also be doing some light weathering using some ak washes but the body will be shiny and clean. I'll start the pics with better pics of the body. Here is the front suspension. I have drilled through the hubs and glued some elastic through the holes. The elastic is glued to the suspension arms top and bottom, and i have drilled out the arms where they mount to the torsion bars. I then cut them free and used some cut down sewing pins to enable the arms to rotate. So now the parts are back together, I have working front suspension. The engine is all stock tamiya, just painted in different metal tones to add some interest. I will be going back to touch up the paint during final assembly And a test fit of the hebmuller engine bay to check it fits. As it turns out there was some trimming needed on the resin part but it wasn't much. I dont have any luck getting the pics to show in order but here goes

so using superglue on his front door lock wasn't the right thing to do? As it turns out he's in jail now for other offences (kidnap, assault and more) but there is a video on youtube of him getting his keister kicked by a kid when he tried to rob a local shop previously. heres the video https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-17377089/shop-robber-fought-off-with-sticky-tape

Theres some 3d printed mirror sets on the auction site. each set has multiple mirrors and are in interior and exterior sets. Price didn't look bad to me but may be higher for you guys in the US

Just arrived. This is the second time I've bought this set as my upstairs neighbour stole the previous one of my doorstep.

Thats pretty cool

If you watch ebay.co.uk the finecast versions pop up fairly often

Usually the seat edges will fit to the raised parts in some way. They may wrap around the edge or have some way to connect to the raised part on the base of the seat. It could be a step on the inside of the seat base or it could be a couple of pins. Theres quite a lot of variety sometimes but I'm sure you'll figure it out. Which kit is it? it might help for answers

Sweet

There is a resin trans kit of the early unimog (rounder body shape) out there, unfortunatelly i have no idea who makes it but i believe i saw it on a german unimog specific forum

I tend to use tamiya light smoke (number 19 i think but could be wrong about that) and a brush over the kit chrome and over auto acrylics. It doesn't tend to sit on the high points and gives a nice effect on grilles. I have some ak washes too but i haven't tried them yet

I mean it was photos of real cars on the internet my friend

Great weathering mate, nice to see a tractor

Cool project Mihai, its nice to see someone building one of these. I've seen a few on some of the russian stance blogs and wondered what they were

I would try flatting and painting first as i recently attempted to repaint a bentley after stripping it and some nastiness is in the metal in a few spots. I think the nastiness in mine is a silicone due to how the paint is reacting but if the current paint is good use it as a base to save yourself some pain.

Why not? what if you have an accident and need assistance? thats taking at least 2 cops, a paramedic crew out of circulation while they deal with an accident that could easily have been avoided if you had stayed home. Suppose one of those people dealing with you had the virus but didn''t realise? thats everyone thats dealing with your accident now exposed needlessly along with your mother. If the guidance that everyone that gets it passes it on to 3 people is right that a minimum of 6 people passing it onto 18 others, those 18 then pass it on to 54 people and they pass it on to 162 people. I'll let you do the maths from here but going out for a drive is not the thing to do. I know everything feels weird but it shouldn't feel normal, we're living in a strange time so everyone has to do their part to protect other people too.

I think i would do the raised section in some thin styrene sheet, then use filler for the edges. Doing a large area like that in filler has the risk of it popping off later

I'm not allowed to leave the house. my anxiety is through the roof as i have some of the high risk conditions. Right now I am the most stressed i have ever been in my life, on the verge of a panic attack and have been since thurs. i cant sleep right and I'm scared to go to my docs. I hope i can do an appointment over the phone so i dont have to put myself at risk or my mum and sister as they have conditions too. me and my sister have both moved back in with mum for the lockdown so at least we aren't alone. I've got some kits with me to build but the motivation just isn't there just now. stay safe folks, think of others before you decide you just have to go out, we are all just trying to get through this with some sanity intact. the fear is the worst thing with this

Very cool, I can safely say i didn't know these existed in the real world
