Scratch building an airvent?
stitchdup replied to Yahshu's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
They look very similar to whats in 70s british cars. If your lucky one of them might provide you a template -
I've seen something very similar in resin. I think it was kitformservices and possibly an military ambulance version
-
cool,I think this is the first of these I've seen. Did the seat decals come in the kit?
-
Thats pretty cool, the grey paint was a good choice, it looks right on it
-
cool

Cool, I like the peak over the screen, not something I've seen on a chopped bug before and after seeing it I dont know why when it work so well

How about paid advertisers (hobby stores, hobby related, resin casters and model companies only) to have a section to sell to us. Nothing not related to the hobby. There's always threads looking for specific parts from resin casters for example, so they could pay a monthly fee to sell in a section on the website. Because it can only be established businesses with a reputation to protect and experience in mail order, customers and all that stuff they are responsible for complaints and not greg. It also benefits us because someone can link you directly to the thread without leaving the site, benefits greg because he gets a revenue stream and benefits the companies because they have a captive market that are happy to recommend good service and quality products.

This may sound daft but I find sometimes when I cant get to sleep having one foot out of the covers can help. A lot of the time its body temp that causes insomnia and for some reason I dont understand this works

I didn't know there was one, I built it for my clubs monthly fun contest -
What did you see on the road today?
stitchdup replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I thought I saw one of the new corvettes today, but when I got closer it was just a civic -
Nice looking bunny, your colour scheme looks like something toyota would use on a show car these days and is very on the current trends

Look at the grouse, look at the grouse !

Is it a catchphrase from the 3 stooges? -
I added fuel injection to the engine using parts from the scrap box and some foam for a filter (thanks for the idea DeeCee). The suspension is lowered and I did away with the wire axle to fit driveshafts, which led to plenty problems with the front suspension. The wheels are from ucsp. I thinned down the grille to make it fit better but unfortunatelly if I thin it more it will fall apart. Still for all the pitfalls it was a fun build of a car I'd happily own and when i find another I know where the problems are, and what needs to be fixed such as the bare plastic showing around the engine bay
-
Just arrived from ucsp. It's a transkit for the fujimi gti and is some really nice resin. No bubbles, instructions included for the conversion and comes with the required clear parts. I think it is the nicest resin piece in my stash at the moment. I would happily recommend and communication with the seller was fast with replies within ten mins

le couronne
stitchdup replied to Ken Gilkeson's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
That is some mighty impressive work. When I first saw it I was amazed and the more I look the more I see. Does anyone know how to get my jaw back off the floor? -
Most beautiful planes of all time...
stitchdup replied to Matt Bacon's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I wouldn't say this is the most beautiful plane but it is the plane that always brought a smile to my face. If I was getting this plane it meant it was the school holidays so I was going to my granny and grandads for the summer. This plane also has a world record (shortest commercial scheduled flight) Thay are currently working on converting some of these to electric for use where i live as the longest flihjts these do is less than a hour. Also just to the left of the gray building in the background is my grannies house. The pic is off the old colour scheme when the local distillery (highland park whisky) sponsored it for advertising -

Thanks for the info -
Dodge Ram 50
stitchdup replied to crazyjim's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Cool, I like the sorta japanese style your build has, it works well with the colour arches and rims -
This is the UN version of this kit and just to warn you all the glass in this kit is awful and doesn't fit. The front lights took a lot of work to even look this close while the indicators are unusable. Anyway on with the details. I fitted the interior from a jag xj220 trimmed down to fit. The chassis is a hybrid between the audi and the vanagon and uses all the audi running gear including the 4x4 and v10. The body has also been lowered over the chassis by just over 1/4 inch. Paint is tamiya ts51 with duplicolour clear.

Revell California Wheels Rabbit Question
stitchdup replied to stitchdup's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thankyou sir, thats some good info, I assumed the interiors would be the same. I might see if a can find a grille from something else to do the square lights, and i think i may be able to alter some big rig rear lights for it. -
Cool, I remeber watching this car race on grandstand? saturday afternoons as a kid. There weren't much car shows then so my parents made sure i could be homw to see it. Thanks for bringing back some old memories

Revell California Wheels Rabbit Question
stitchdup replied to stitchdup's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm sure amt will rerelease it, and I'll get one or 6, lol. They did the scirocco recently and its a pretty nice kit for its age. Needs a little work to correct the engine bay and engine mount though. I should really finish mine. I would like to see a jetta transkit for the mk1 and 2 kits too. I'm sure if someone did a grille for the westmoreland mk1 it would sell too cos I'm not the only fan of these kits.
