  1. The burago brand can be quite surprising sometimes, I used to have a few of the 1/18 ones (53 vette, ferarri 250gto and bugatti somethingorother) and with a very small amount of detailing you wouldn't expect them to be the value they are. I will be looking for one ofthese now as I'm not intersted in building a lambo but it would be a cool add to my vw builds. Thanks for sharing it sir
  2. Nice work, theres a decent amount of detail for sucha small kit
  3. Nice conversion work, that looks sweet
  4. uhm, I'll just say corvair (or vw ghia copy) lol
  5. If your on amazon look in among the nail varnish for finger line tape/pin stripe tape. Its about 2mm wide but as thin as bmf and perfectly safe for acrylic paint and clearing over and for less than £1 you get 30 rolls shipped from china with free postage somehow. If you know what colours you want I can easily send you some as i have 300 of them cos while 1 pack had free shipping, when you select 2 the shipping jumped to £15 so I bought 10 individually mainly out of annoyance. Auslowe in Australia also do pin stripes I believe
  6. its a pity they do that, it would be much better done properly by kit brand instead of subject matter
  7. It seems this kit has been doing the rounds of a few companies. link
  8. wow the matchbox box looks like a really bad copy of the amt prestige version
  9. It was bought to build but i will save the box, i've got a revell.de box full of my built kits box tops
  10. So amt got the mold from frog? it's interesting how some of the older kit molds turn up in places you wouldn't expect. I know some of the frog molds went to russia. I've seen the 1/16 vauxhall wagon pop up over there sometimes but its the wrong scale for me
  11. Dont worry mate, we all do this sometimes
  12. I'm wondering if anyone has built this kit. I believe it was also released by amt in the early 70s, possibly as a prestige kit but different sites differ on that so it may not be correct. I recently won this kit and will be building it but as a kindig inspired version. If anyone has built one it would be cool to see some. I guess some tamiya versions would be cool to compare them to as well. I've never had a frog kit before so i'm looking forward to seeing what their like
  13. Great point, if you're a smoker back pain can be a sign of lung disease. there is a simple test you can do for lung disease yourself though. If you look at your finger nails from the side, and they are all very rounded you should see a doc as its a sign of lung disease. I only know cos I'm being tested soon and it was the first thing the doc looked at which seemed odd for chest pains
  14. I read somewhere that a lot of the people in the movie were played by relatives. Cant remember where i read that though
  15. Tbh I'd probably have given up on trying to glue it and used some double sided tape
  16. best thing i did was get a decent chair (and a cut down matteress topper for the back) and matching computer desk to build at, and the tray for the keyboard is the perfect size for my brush paints. My back has hurt a lot less than when i used an old stool that had me sat with the desk at chest level
  17. loving your work. there is a fujimi arch set that looks pretty close to what you are creating, or the arches from the belkits mk1 escort may also make it easier for you

    it doesn't look big enough to be a bentley or rolls, maybe a similar age rover or wolseley, but saying that the wheels look like rolls.
  19. I've got the lower grille part if you need it?
  20. I'm looking forward to his return and very happy to hear his health is improving. I have 3 of his engines and a few seats and the quality is first rate. if anyone is in contact with him please pass on out best wishes for a speedy recovery
  21. it was most likelly just in the box then, i didn't pay too much attention to it cos it was always going to be traded. It was the rest of the lot i was after
  22. I'm sure one of the fujimi versions did have an engine. I traded the one i had away as it wasn't something i was into but there was definately an engine in the box but since it was part of a job lot it doesn't mean it was from the kit. the box had it in black or dark blue in the pits as the pic. I still have the wheels and tyres somewhere
  23. Looks like a pretty cool bus, is there a thread for it?
  24. I mean body mods as if what i'm thinking would be ok only the paint and model of car would be the same
