if it a spray booth you should be fine with what your using. Remember the propelant in spray cans is flamable and they work fine in spray booths. Mines a cheap one from china and it works well enough for me, and has cut down the fumes and dust a lot. I only wish I'd got one a size or 2 bigger.

Sweet

wow inspirational work

Its more likely you'll have to contact the seller. The contract was between them and the carrier. Being the recipient theres probably not much you can do at your end. The language barrier might be a problem as google translate isn't too good with japanese but include pics and I'm sure they'll understand the problem. My experience with japanese sellers (businesses and private) has all been good and they help as much as they can

Cool project. A stretched viper front grille would go well in the opening and its already a similar shape.

I think on my next resin, I'll skip the plastic primer and see if it works any better. It will be grey primer anyway so should be easier to see any problems

While this doesn't look too bad, the chop is lopsided, and the glass is glued in so that it was impossible to remove, being covered inside with filler a good 3mm thick with the same on the outside. The paint seemed to be some sort of housepaint and it just peeled off to reveal cracks everywhere. So i turned it into a frog which didn't improve it, lol

Thanks gents, appreciate the advice. I'm not even sure if i can buy the isopropyl alchohol over here with our stupic alchohol laws but I'm sure i can get it through work if not direct

Has anyone had problems with duplicolour on resin. I'm currently in the paint process on a c1 porsche and at first it pooled in a way similar to oil on water, and just didn't want to flow nice, just to pool. I assumed I'd forgotten to scrub it so I gave it a good scrub with cif household cleaner and hot water, rinsed that off and gave it a scrub with dish soap and hot water with a new toothbrush followed by a rinse and scrub with clean hot water and another new toothbrush. This time some sections crazed a little (seems to be fixed now). I've used duplicolour on resin from the partsbox and it went fine so where have i gone wrong this time. I'm using spray cans in a booth with extractor running and I'm sure its something I'm doing wrong so some advice would be appreciated. Its only the body and not the whole part that has the crazing, the rest seems ok. I'll be using tamiya paints over this and its duplicolour clear plastic primer followed by white primer. I am only noticing the problem when the white goes on, but since the other is clear Its hard to see but it looks to be laying ok

have you tried oxford diecast? they sometimes have us import stuff

I would expect 3d printed stuff to warp pretty quick with the heating and cooling during the print process so we'd see it faster (speculation on my part, no experience)

As well as this 2 i got another 2 tamiya beetles for use with the modelcarparts resin bugs, another revell mk1 golf convert for use with the c1 caddy and another split screen pick up. When i opened the toyota I got a pleasant surprise too, yes that is 2 mostly complete kits in the box so I'll call that a win since i didn't expect that. Theres only one chassis but i think i can cut down an extra hasegawa american series to fit as i have a spare one of them and these are going to be slammed and curbside so dont really need detailed, just some matt black

I was sure there was a rear rolled pan in the original issue too, but after looking at my pics of the contents I'm not so sure now. I seem to remember the part being there

look for a private seller called dimitri-oleks thats where i buy my ucsp parts

How long did the camera survive after taking the pic? the cat looks ready to mutilate it

Its motivation, just need more practice first

Thankyou sir, so its sorta like a paper model compared to plastic, it has its place just not in our hobby

same place, my wheels from ucsp are marked diolex on the boxes

They look useful, especially for rims so I hope i can find them over here. I have some I'd like to do the same as you on and my masking sucks. I've used the gelly roller acrylic pens to do pin striping on models with some success but they only work after a light 1500 wnd. They can be clearcoated too but with them you need to clear between colours to save on smudging.

mrmodel.com have some nice pe stuff, they're in brazil I think but delivert times are good.

I think I've caught up, seeing this makes me want to add some lamborghinis to my vw stash but I know I'd only compare it to yours and be disapointed by mine.

The massey ferguson 2680 tractor was part of the series. I dont have that boxing but i got the recent heller release a couple of months ago. The box sides for the porsche show b102 mechanical digger, b103 ford cobra (coupe but it could just as easily be a ferarri from the pic, lol) b101 dumper truck and b105 sea king helicopter. The porsche is b104. The porsche is the only one I've ever seen though si i cant say for sure any of the others were ever actually produced

The humbrol enamels are good, the acrylics I just cant get to work as well as the enamels though

Arrived this morning from c1-models. This is a VW Caddy mk1 for the revell mk1 kits. I'll probably use one of the corrado engines in this though as a g60 is a pretty cool engine, and I dont really want to mess about opening the hood on them

The bollinger thing is just a rip off from land rover, maybe a little wider but at least it looks like a car and not some sort of kitchen aid
