  1. whta the first pic off? it looks to be aircooled but that might be my vw fanboy showing
  2. this annoys me but only cos i recently found the tamiya 80 rally car and road car. It only annoys me due to that and i will still buy at least 3. it would be nice to have more vag kits
  3. I'm up for that, it wont be complete but I'm sure i can get it to curbside before the end of the year.
  4. I'm up for it, might get some of the delaheye done
  5. Cool, think I'm going to have to copy your blades idea too, i've been using a ruler and blade but your way looks much better
  6. if its not cleared just a soak and a wash should take them off. If its been cleared you'll need to strip the clear first
  7. pahaha that appeals to my sense of humour
  8. if you look on amazon you can find packs of ten (various colour packs) for less than a dollar with free shipping. if you select colours the price jumps up a lot though. the chrome tape is handy for bmf around windows and trim too.
  9. try contacting him through his facebook page, he has a clearly scale and clearly scale build group pages.
  10. Just a few from my shelf of doom. The 48 woody was almost finished and nearing completion when the rear pillers broke so its now sitting in primer, and has been for at least 2 years. The delaheye stalled out on some suspension problems caused entirely by myself The jaguar is more recent but stalled out for now
  11. Yoy could do worse than try modelkars.uk they have them in quite often and are uk based.
  12. http://public.fotki.com/KenK/kitchen_table_resin_kits/35-ford-hood--grill/
  13. I found some pics of one while i was snooping about on fotki. I'm not sure if its for the amt or revell kit but i think the maker was kitchen table resin. I dont know anything else about it though but it stuck in my memory for some reason
  14. That Powell looks an awful lot like an old land rover
  15. you should be able to add a plug in from your antivirus to firefox which will help
  16. remember to include rare in caps on all listings, no matter what it is, also vintage, antique etc. eg. Mcdonalds straw RARE, vintage, antique, retro adult built lol
  17. a little work on the engine tonight. in keeping with the old but new theme, I made some coil packs for the engine (12 of them, lol) and did a little detailing to the manifold I already made in preperation for wiring. I'm not too worried about the gaps in the heads, the wiring will cover most of them. I'll be adding some more detail to the manifold after it's all wired
  18. lets try and post this again, i messed up my first attempt, lol. I made the interior tub tonight using the rear of the chrysler atlantic concept as it has the same body line as the trunk and hood. I am using the centre console from the willys but i rounded of most of the edges so it flows better. A trimmed it so the dash fits, then added some trim to bring to mind the stock grille while being obviously modern custom. I might swap the seats for low back versions of the same seat, I'm not sure the highbacks work for this build
  19. Time for another update. As well as lots of sanding I had to make up some lights. I used the 37 ford as I think the lenses stick out more than the 40 ford or willys ones. I have also made a start on the dash. For it I used the willys dash as the base and a 50 ford pick up for the gauges and some other parts. Its not accurate but it'll do for a custom.
  20. It started as a 41 willys, lol. if your wanting to try it, look for the sets from china on amazon. I think the bottle of liquid is in one of the background pics. there are 3 speeds of liquid too, 2 mins, 5 mins and ten mins setting time
  21. Some older progress pics. The plan is to modernise the v12 with ardun heads, fuel injection and coil packs. I'll be using the willys front suspension and whatever rear axle fits. Most of the interior will be scratchbuilt around a 50 ford pick up dash and some corvette seats from clearly scale.
  22. most of its a willys, and theres most of a 40 ford in there too, and some chrysler atlantic and some 37 ford and a little vw beetle too. I'm did most of the stretching with acrylic nail filler as its much stronger than just gluing plastic together and when it has set its plastic rather than filler. Its good stuff and a little goes a long way. I used it to add a skin inside and out too for extra strength. I'm still rubbing down filler just now to give the roof and doors a little more curve as the willys is pretty flat compared to a lincoln
  23. I've been building this for my clubs 2 year anniversary contest. Yes it will have a v12 though it will be far from a stock version. Just for fun I'll let you guess what kits have been used to create what you see here (I'll post some more progress pics later)
  24. I just measured the set i have and they are smaller. Clearly scale have some to fit their vw rims that should fit, they do from 14-16 in 1/24
