thats where the tariffs are added. its not the shipping going up, its the shippers collecting the tariffs

i'm in scotland. its not political here as all sides of our political parties back ukraine

Nobody is banning any reference to those people. I explained why they are gone. If people stop making thinly veiled political comments the threads wont get locked. If you want to make those comments od it elsewhere, is it really that difficult? Respect isn't a debate on morals, I've never been at a funeral where they had a debate over the grave because that is disrespectful. I treated the thread with those same rules.

Charlie Kirk is political no matter the circumstances as that was his job. The nature of what he represents makes it political and whlle its sad this is the case and we should be able to show our respects, some of you cant resist thinly veiled politcal comments. The 911 post had turned into a debate on morals which is demeaning to a remembrance thread. I hid it because it was no longer about respect for those that passed on that horrrific day.

beautiful work

thats not how the game works edit; not part of the game

i cant decide which rear light to use. I've narrowed it down to 4 options with unpictured version being the crystal red/clear with the clear part smoked

the base coat will change the colour. these are both hok brandywine pearl but the bonneville is over flourescent pink, while the bug is over a bright metallic gold. the bug has a much deeper look to it. these are both 3 coats of the pearl and 2 of duplicolour clear

pva and dried dirt over brown paint. get your dirt/earth from various locations for a variety of shades. I have from near black through to almost burgandy. you can also use spray cans to paint sand if needbe. simply lay the dry sand out in a thin layer then dust (not paint, just very light dust coats) with suitable colours, leave a few minute, then stir and spread out again for another dusting of paint. repeat until its the colour you want. if you use 2 similar shades it can look very real. the tamiya marine colours are great for this

do you want to email it me and i'll see if i can find the word?

i'd look at farm toy suppliers. theres a high probability someone already makes one

some words cause posts to be rejected by the forum software. its usuall co mmand type words from programming that do it. adding spaces to the word or spelling them wrong lets the post get through

i think you are on the right track but might need to do the pieces indivually rather than all at once. that way you could also follow the real trim for the pieces

if you look for albion abrasives on amazon, they sell packs of mixed sheets between 240 and 12000 grit. decent quality and around a tenner. i got 6 sheets of each in my pack and i'm still using the first sheet of the finer grades

try dave coleys emporium or kingkit. both stock us kits

we do that for the first 25 posts to prevent spammers and try to catch scammers

steering wheel centre?

the previous oner obviously made the mistake of using the indicators once, that really messes up bmw electrics (or so i'm guessing from the fact i've never seen them used at junctions)

no, and i'll take them one at a time. a competency test? that alone defeats the purpose of the forum, which is to promote and grow the hobby. what if the person is joining to find out how to start modelling? besides that if they found the site then they can obviously use google. how do you think most of us arrived at the site the first time? most existing members have proved their worthiness and we're not about to ask members to prove their worthiness, we moderate the first 25 posts for that. spelling errors leading to suspension is just a stupid idea. we have members from all around this planet, many of whom are ESL, and members from other english speaking countries and many of the same words are spelled differently in each country so which one do we use? i'm in scotland so if i was to use that for allowing posts every american post would need rewritten, but we're mostly adults here and as long as its ledgible i'm going to allow it. besides all that, the amount of extra work that would cause the admin team is ridiculous and we do want time to build models too. we're here to promote this hobby, not be the gatekeepers to a secret society. if thats what your looking for maybe the goat hoose (freemasons) would be more to your liking

theres an ebay shop/seller called amodeller that carries a lot of stuff and you have the parts box, both in Australia. i've used both and been happpy

poorly repaired original minis tend to have differing wheelbases. its one of the easy tells for accident damage
