  1. i'm having major issues just logging into mcm just now. i'm sure its my isp thats the problem as i've tried multiple browsers on both computers and can only connect if i use a vpn. i've cleared everything but the site still times out without a vpn. its only happening with mcm as every other site works fine. its very frustrating
  2. Its more mainland europe than what we used. 2 axles is too flash for us but i'll still get a couple.
  3. i only need one, its no a fergie and they are what i've worked with. we just need some actual implements for them now like ploughs, balers and harrows
  4. hiduldae me, seems odd the box says 1/20 as i think that could cost them sales. it was putting me off from buying one anyway
  5. my vote is for street style with antera 3 spokes or a dimma kit. a spoiled kid had a turbo'd one locally until he wrecked it
  6. i'm one of those people at the end of a month. If I'm paying for my shopping with change and my card i dont want the added embarassment of people too and i'll queue up to avoid it
  7. I pulled this back onto the bench last night. I've turned an old barbie suitcase into a larger fuel tank that should be good for 700 miles in this. I used some printed parts to make themechanical fuel pump on top of the engine and this will be plumbed into the injection system, which will be connected to the front airdam. The engine has a 75% set back sp this should have great handling but it doesn't conform to any race series rules, for example i took the engine set back from drag racing but the body reinforcing is all rally car. I've started on some period body mods now while i fill the gaps and get ready for paint
  8. have you tried spot model?
  9. If you need more ideas this is a great site https://customrodder.forumactif.org/f5-kustom-leadsled-traditional-custom-cars
  10. that'll be early 90s, the plain red and blue stripes were 70s and 80s. I remember my great grandad painting with them
  11. could the top set be from the revell kit?
  12. does it have a red stripe and a blue stripe on the front?
  13. could you use the trim dip for the section?
  14. That was a good read. I like how they kept it corvair for the panels and made some clever choices. It could easily have ended looking up a mess
  15. patina is in so you could do that while you gather the shiny bits
  16. german grey is actually green as i recently found out. the cab is weathered but the headboard on the deck isn't yet
  17. No politics, some of you just have to push it dont you
  18. please drift the subject away from elections before someone gets carried away
  19. I can see me buying the tipper version to use with the chevy. It seems to match real ones I've seen online best
  20. More weathering. I used real dirt for the tyres as my powders and washes had no effect on them. I scrubbed them but they just wouldn't take it so i ended up making some mud and then mashing the tyres into it in my fist and i mean it looked like i was trying to destroy the tyres. The treatment they got would have turned tamiya tyres to dust but since i have more kits, and one is getting a wheel swap i took the chance. I also tried an alternative body on the chassis which is pretty close to fitting. I've got more washes to do on the fenders and they are just loosely together for the pics
  21. if its car from after 73 its french blue
