Liking where this is heading

Ive used moss from a florists before. Going to have to try this too, thanks

Sweet, Im just finishing off the c1 trans kit for this

I think about a third of my stash came from resale shops/charity shops, even more if you include the resellers on ebay. Some I'm sure i paid too much for but they were kits i wanted so i dont mind that. All my johan kits were from resellers and were well under ebay values. 63 plymouth - $20 rancher caddy-$25 plymouth cop wagon -$20 63 olds- $15 revell escort xr3 parts kit(missing grille and headlights) $5 frog moecedes (box ruined-glass glued)- $25 tamiya audi quattro road - $15 tamiya audi quattro rally -$20 emhar bedford olb $15 airfix 1/24 spitfire (damaged box,no instructions) $30 thats just the ones i remember, theres a load more (one entire wall of my living room is just kits 15ft by 10ft) but if you convert the prices into £s they are even lower

Theres the revell parts pack t body too

Nice work, some really inspiring stuff. Can I ask why you went from the ali cage to the plastic? No real reason just curiosity

sorry that was all i found from an old ebay listing through google images.

Found this pic mate, it might get you started. It was also an airfix kit so you might have more luck searching for those instructions

If your in the uk it takes longer for some reason, my orders all take at least 4 weeks but i guess mine would go by road rather than air

From the pics they look to be sticks to glue sand paper to. Not actual files and it says further down sand paper not included. Could be useful but you'd probably be able to do the same with popsicle sticks, and then you can shape them how you want

Maybe cut the axle and use 2 sewing pins to replace it

Its hard to tell but from the pic (could be the angle of the pic) but the two sides of the bumper mount are slightly different where they mount to the crossbar. Careful cutting of the one with the curved edge between it and the crossbar might be enough to bring the bumper into line

Other than the car in the living room, thats my flat/appartment. Not even joking, lol

Enjoy the build mate

its an easy mistake to make, give them a rest, maybe its a build sugestion lol

sweet

They call it jocky though in the gti, and the seat pattern and rear pillar width ratio is constant through all the golfs.

Condolences to you and your family sir

cool

that could be why i'm single, lol

OK this part is not for this build but I will be using the same on the firebird. This is the rear independent suspension from motobitz. Its very delicate to work with but will be the correct width. I managed to break one of the lower mounts just by picking up the part, and the driveshafts were missing from it I'm using their front suspension too and its even more delicate but has no brakes. I'm still trying to find wheels that look similar and so far the vantasy centres in some larger rims is winning

cool

I've done it on a stove using a hot frying pan and a bit of greaseproof paper on top of it. Just set the model on top then when your happy with the bulge/flat spot place it on a cold plate until it sets again. Just make sure your frying pan is flat

I glue them unless they are too tight to roll. If its a wire axle i give it a rough up with 220 and put some superglue on it before fitting as i've had them not stick without sanding

geese dont learn, but they do remember who to drop gifts on....
