Its just wire, try a farmer for extra fence wire or a contractor. Wire ties from larger packages work too. I dont think you'll want enough to buy a roll

The wheels look ok to me but smaller front tyres would look better in my opinion

When you do yours, fit the front glass after the the other glass, it wont stay in if done first due to how good the fit is

The back is sitting lower now, I had to remove the exhaust tips so they didn't get lost and it dropped enough to keep me fairly happy without cutting anything.

Nice work on the arches, they should look sweet with those wiiiiide wheels. Now I need to find milliput to try. Quick question about it, can it be used to make things like bumpers that dont have support behind the milliput?

Just like to add to this that the service is great from them. I broke a wheel this morning through my own stupidity and dimitry offered me a relacement free with another set of wheels so the postage isn't too bad. I was going to buy more wheels anyway so its no problem. Highly commended for quality and service

That might work, and less likely to show since its hidden by the pillars. Easy touch up too on an all black interior. Going to try that now, thanks guys

I'm thinking I'd like to get another of these to do a modern version of the one from that autobiography tv show with the funny story and fake sponsors. Now I've built the tamiya part once I wont be so worried about cutting it up to get it low either

I dont think it is mate, theres only about 1mm actually under the body top and bottom and near nothing at the sides so I'd be concerned about the glass coming out. I might just fit the stock tyres so the arches are filled more but that will raise it more. I'll probably just have to live with it.

Sweet colours, both wheel colour options look good to me

My own fault, it was a little tight and I pushed the rim instead of the centre. I'm not too upset now, Dimitry from ucsp offered me another single wheel and since I am going to buy more of his wheels anyway he is giving me it free with them. Until them its on one stock wheel as i want it finished for friday for my club comp.

Sweet, thanks for the pics. I'll need to get one too

It was nearly finished

Well that didn't go as planned. Fitting the glass has also raised the rear a lot more than the thickness of the glass so does anyone have a suggestion for getting it down a bit?

Thanks guys,

Just wondering what this is, I cant make out the grille badge and I've never seen one of these before. Is it a converted truck or even american?

Sweet, these are great fun in the snow

Cool looking car, its interesting to see how much of it toyota seem to have copied for the mk2/chaser model from the 70s

Only these 2 and the razor edge ghia mate. These have full interiors, front screen and a chassis too along with a small pe sheet for the badges, just needing the engines and wheels from the t3 vans. The ghia is a body and interior with bumpers but need a tamiya bug/ghia for the rest. I've only ever seen one of these (412) once when I was a little kid and remember being shocked the owner was putting the groceries in around the engine. I didn't know then that the engine was in the back, lol. Is that a roof rack on youre or did the wagon versiion have a ribbed roof?

Not too much to say about this one, its the polar lights harley quinn bug done as the sort of thing you see at vw shows these days. Pretty much box stock apart from a heavy slam. This was another one night build but I used enamel instead of acrylic. Pretty nice kit for a curbside so since i only got it for the extra wheels that was a pleasant surprise

I dont generally keep my diecast boxes but mine are mostly maisto or welly. Its mostly down to space and I dont mind buying damaged ones either. I should say that I buy them to build as models so to me the size is more important. I was looking at a burago 1/24 porsche 356 this afternoon and while it was very nice it seemed the scale was well off being nearer 1/20 at a guess.

Dont they share an owner and factory?

I've had the tamiya 1mm and 2 and 3mm white leave a gooey mess a couple of times but that was with the awful simoniz paints. It works well with everything else I've tried and I use frog yellow tape for large areas. I've been thinking to try the frisket (i think that the brand name) airbrush film to do my own lettering at some point

I hate when that happens but if its any consolation the paint you did looks smooth and nice mate

They came staggered and with the tyres. Compared to aoshima wheels they seem a little smaller but the quality is very good. There are a lot of other on their site and ebay pages too
