  1. Not part of game but I'd buy that
  2. Nice looking bird, if you cant fix the steering wheel you could always pose the wheels turning
  3. My sister works for the ambulance service, and tonight she came home from work 6 hours early with a black eye cos some dirty junkie attacked her while she was saving ITS friends life. Took me ten minutes to find out where IT hangs out and who with. I'm no psychic but i dont need a crystal ball to see pain in ITS future
  4. Some of my albums have a little scratching in them, the 37 linciln one probably has the most but I'm not at the level of the other folks on here https://www.flickr.com/photos/111449995@N04/albums
  5. The guys very ill from my understanding. A website is the last thing he'll be thinking about. Instead of all the criticism, send him some good wishes, you never know, the support may help the healing knowing there are people he has never met that care
  6. Nicely done build especially for a 5 year old, the pride on his face is plain to see
  7. Great tip, I can see them having other uses too. Thanks for sharing
  8. Thanks guys. I wasn't as clear as I should have been, the chassis wasn't too small, the bag it was heat sealed into was too small and warped the chassis, possibly from the heat sealing being too close to the styrene
  9. Cool looking so far, it sorta reminds me of the south american truck racers
  10. I think one of the fujimi mercedes has a very similar set so they probably have done them as a wheel set too. I dont think they are one of the current releases so finding them might take some time
  11. This one is one of the amt pre painted kits built basicly box stock apart from a slight lowering all round and some jaguar wires. I redid the chrome on the roof and sides with foil and the rest is as it came. The chassis on this was pretty warped from the bag being way too small for it but once the interior and engine were in some strong glue and taping it together for a month fixed it. I didn't realise it was still so dusty until I saw the pics, was sure i cleaned it better than that, lol
  12. There's also the british noble m12 which is now being built in the states under another brand.
  13. I thought it might be fun to pick your brains and see how many manufacturers made tooling or sold it overseas to other manufacturers. For example how many of you knew that the chinese red car limos were based on the chrysler 300 from the 1950s, and I remember reading somewhere about ford building a factory for the russians that wouldn't be a ford plant. There are loads of others so it might be fun to see how many we can list.
  14. Engine is pretty near finished, just a little touch up once the rest is together
  15. Nice work, a awesome change from what you started with.
  16. That's beautiful work, it certainly lives up to the starler moniker
  17. Cool build, I like your rim choice,
  18. The fines for commercials volume are much less than they earn from showing an advertisement so they just ignore it as thats more profitable
  19. Got the blue on this morning. Needs a couple of touch ups on the white stripe but 2 layers of finger nail striping tape will fix that, but it will have to wait until the enamel hardens a lot more Just the lower bumpers, mirror mounts and window trim to paint black now then I can finish off the engine
  20. If you look in afew differnet dollar/pound shops you should be able to find a size to suit, (i bought all the sizes) and if your lucky wont need to split them. Be careful when buying them too as while most are styrene some are a different plastic. Also avoid the coloured ones, and those with glitter in, something in them reacts with the paint no matter how careful you are to put a barrier between the paint layers. Also some of the knife handles make great running boards for 30s customs
  21. would it be used with some sort of air suspension on the tractor unit?
