Help,Need Resin Service Station Accessories
stitchdup replied to Badluck 13's topic in WIP: Dioramas
There's always dollhouse stuff too, some of it is really detailed (I've seen dressers that go for 1/1 money!) -
Enamel paint removal query
stitchdup replied to HotRodaSaurus's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Try fairy power spray, it seems to remove all paints and doesn't stink up the place like spray cans of oven cleaner. I spray it on the parts then put them in a sealable tub to catch the run off as it can be reused again and again. The downside is the bottles are only half a litre so i buy them 6 ata time from amazon to get them cheap -

Best pickup kits for crewcab
stitchdup replied to olschoolkid's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
meng do a ford f350 crewcab, not built mine yet but it looks like a good kit but a little pricey. the revell 65 chevy truck is not too bad to extend with the body lines helping a great deal. I did one with a revell front and amt 60 rear to the cab but in hindsight using 2 revell kits would have made extending the chassis go better. -

Toy fair 2018 news and pictures.

I didn't expect to see an isuzu car, especially with the bonnet open -
I would expect italeri are releasing the old esci kits to capitalise on how much they have gone up in value in europe recently. The transit was selling for over £100 every time on ebay and even broken built ups were hitting £60. I cant remember the last time i saw the range rover or land rovers but the esci 70s rally cars they released are selling really well. I hope they are doing this to build funds for some new tooling. If I was in charge thats what I would do, but I'm not a business man

make them use abacus instead of calculators in school. makes them think instead of using google/siri etc and they might become more useful members of society. I have a theory on the decline of education and compassion among the young. I blame music videos and mtv for the i want it now mentality of kids. before mtv we got protest songs and after we got look what i have songs.

I've seen your idea for clearing the primer done on a 1/1 vw. It looked pretty good and was reported as nardo grey in pvw mag

Anybody else getting weird messages from Facebook?
stitchdup replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I got one yesterday, but it was when I logged onto facebook. The spam count is through the roof just now too on there. If it wasn't for some friends and family i have no other way of speaking to, i would leave -
Tutorial on using a mold made from another car
stitchdup replied to 59 Impala's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
The 2 part fingernail resin is actually an acrylic filler. I've used it in the past and would use it again if it wasn't for the fumes. It is available in 3 different set times for the liquid but I've only used the medium version. -

What happened to automotive "journalism", rant ahead
stitchdup replied to Aaronw's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I tend to read the custom/modified magazines more and get annoyed when they gush about a car and how great it is at a show, then completely fail to have a picture of that car. -
Called a seller to find out where my parcel was (its a fujimi bike and roof rack set). The courier had left it on the doorstep 2 weeks before and it disappeared. After asking my neighbours if they'd seen it only one said they had and offered to let me search their house. I can nearly guarentee that neighbour stole it but have no proof. I'm not happy with the courier, he should have knocked and got me to sign for delivery, but instead I'm out of pocket due to their laziness.

Flush mount skirts?
stitchdup replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If you have any scrap small scale planes (1/32 1/35), the wing tips are easily modded into skirts. If you dont have ant small scale bi-planes will give you 2 sets and tend to work for 30/40's cars with a small triangle added to the inevitable gap at either the front corner or rear corner of the fenders. I used this method on a 40 ford coupe and found it worked well but lost the pics to poobucket
