AMT Datsun 280ZX Turbo Decal Question

Progress or stupidity? You decide...
stitchdup replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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

79 Nova Wheelbase
stitchdup replied to Perspect Scale Modelworks's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
poorly repaired original minis tend to have differing wheelbases. its one of the easy tells for accident damage -
Folks, when you get these pms please report them using the 3 dots. we cant see your pms unless you report them. by all means warn other members but remember the 3 dots. they make it much easier for us, thanks
-
they are banned

i still think buying the admin team lamborghinis is overkill, an rs6 would do me
-
use the 3 dots and report it to us. just posting about it means we have to look for it but if you use the 3 dots its right there in front of us. also, the named members aren't involved. the scammers search for dormant account names to use

I, like many of you, have multiple builds on te go at a time. Some full detail, some curbside, some mostly box stock and some where everything has been changed and they are from various sub genres. At the moment i'm n a mk3 golf kick (my fav car) so i have 2 of those ongoing and 2 more waiting but i also have rods, racers, kustoms and muscle cars to pick up when i feel like some variety. I always have music on when i build too as well as a slide show of cars in similar styles for inspiration playing on the laptop.

you missed an f in the second shift and the auto censor removed the resulting word -
how important is the fit?
stitchdup replied to sidcharles's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I like to have it look like someone could fit and be in proportion. I dont use any visual aid apart from my eyes. there are some builds of mine where the interior is just to fill a hole
