  1. Cool, I've been waiting for this so I can build my version of the ardbeg tractor.
  2. Seem's good timing for a mk2 transit with a mk1 or 2 escort rally car on the trailer.
  3. Nice work, is this the same kit as the imax one? I ask as I just won one off ebay
  4. Cool idea
  5. For making airbags for suspension, have a look in the hardware store for tap washers. Usually about a buck for 3 sizes in a multi pack and can be stretched over the kit springs if your feeling lazy. The larger size in the pack might even work for large trucks. Another bonus with these is being black rubber they wont need painting. They may work for aircraft tyres too

  7. Revell germany do a camper version, and there are bus versions out there
  8. Wild, but very cool
  9. Very cool, I've enjoyed watching the build on the French forum
  10. Cool builds, now to turn up the music....
  11. Cool, I like the thinking outside the box.
  12. . I only have one finished monogram 1/24. Monte carlo SS with lowered suspension and an engine swap to a big block.
  13. I think I saw yours on the Koolestkruisers site
  14. Thanks guys.
  15. Cheers folks, I appreciate the comments
  16. Neat, I like that it doesn't have a v8
  17. A rommel rod would be a good tow car for this, thanks for putting another idea in my head
  18. Here's a little bit of a different build of mine. I started with a hasegawa kubelwagen kit 1/24 scale, but since I'm not a military builder I went for a rough drag style and left the army stuff in the box. The engine block is from a revell t25 UN van kit but the rest is mostly scratch built from scraps and the part box. The cage is from a revell beretta pro street, as is most of the drag parts. I wanted it to look like the body had been pulled from storage in good condition, but left as it was put away. The whole thing was painted by multiple layers of dry brushing with various matt and metal paints over a satin black base. The only mod to the body is I leaned the windscreen back to line up with the cage which was done in flourescant orange to get just a little colour into it. I'll try to add pics again later as it isn't letting me just now for some reason. I'm only getting the spinning arrow when I try to add them, so here's a link for now.
  19. Stunning, especially when you have seen what you started with
  20. Thanks mate, I found it pretty forgiving when I chopped it, the thick plastic maybe worked in my favor in that respect, but I didn't use too much of the kit in the end. just the body/chrome pieces and chassis.
