  1. the pre painted versions can be found cheaper usually
  2. i know that bus and i used to live about 10 mins walk along the road behind it, near that church. they have 2 more flat front versions
  3. most euro cars came with those headlight wipers, and an ugly box for the washer jets. They never worked for long either, one winter would destroy them. One of my first jobs in the garage was making plugs for the holes when we removed them. they didn't last long but it was the nearest the garage got to doing custom work sadly.
  4. i trully hope this isn't the one some yobbos smashed up a few months back.
  5. you could just add the text on photoshop or similar.
  6. you could try the notify me section on spot model. if it comes back in stock you'll get an email from them, usually before they arrive so you get to the front of the queue
  7. looking at the front spoiler in the first pic, it looks like it started out as a visor for a 40s car or truck with split screen
  8. nice artwork, now you gotta build em in plastic !
  9. its not, its a ford anglia/thames van (harry potter car) with what looks like a camry grille and windows cut in the sides. the wide arches on the rear are custom and give it a slight commer cob look. its a rare vehicle as most of these were worked hard and rotted away. here a stocker
  10. the monogram s'cool bus might give you most of a body but you might need a second body to unchop or unsection it. there are a few print files available if you have access to a 3d printer. the print files cover various years from the 50 chevy and ford trucks through to current international versions. the chassis are usually kinda toyish on the prints
  11. night follows day unless you were a dinosaur
  12. and it looks fun if you dumb stuff with it
  13. i think i built 8, another 8 unfinished and possibly purchased the same, but i printed a lot of stuff which is money i would have spent on kits. I have bought a lot more supplies like paint and glues than i normally do
  14. it wasn't aimed at anyone. it was badly worded on my part but it was in no way aimed at anyone. i meant theres a lot of people complaining about the way hpiguy does his vids while they hold a decent camera in their hand.
  15. if you dont like what you see you could always make your own if you think you can handle criticism. cameras are getting cheaper all the time so whats the excuse?
  16. I think Rolls Royce have the widest number of unusual options. If you can think of something, no matter how bizarre, they will add it. Whether its being able to have the starlight headliner showing how the sky looked on the night you were born in the current ghosts or the ridiculously ostentatious cars for the Majharasha's and sheiks that can include anything from a falcon roost to a raisable seat for shooting. And most of these could also be ordered on range rovers at one time or another
  17. it looks good but i think you need to make up some side bolsters for the seat. if you have the stock seat still you could trim the ends from it and smooth them in to the existing bolsters
  18. the white pearl needs a white primer or base coat to work best. its a very transparent paint
  19. theres a resin kit of the lotus cortina mk1. https://www.themotormuseuminminiature.co.uk/our-products.php
  20. Thats a cool looking porker, the wheels look rigt at home and along with the colour makes it look a lot more modern
  21. ammo and mig both have a range of faded primary colours
