  1. There's always dollhouse stuff too, some of it is really detailed (I've seen dressers that go for 1/1 money!)
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. I didn't expect to see an isuzu car, especially with the bonnet open
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. some smelly underwear
  8. 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
  9. 1950 ford circuit style 1960s chevy crew cab dually 1959 chevy el camino lowrider
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. the veterarian laughed
  13. would there be something suitable in some of the 80s rod kits?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. built from the amt 60 fleetside and revell 65 step. The rear of the cab is the 60 as the doors lined up pretty well to the back of the 65 cab. Its due for a rebuild as I didn't make much effort with the engine and just threw a ready built v10 in it
  17. 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
