  1. dont mind me, just looking for temp workarounds https://freeimage.host/i/dsc02072.2SequKN
  2. coffin an spluttering the tractor roared into first place and consigned horses to the glue factory
  3. I did a quick and dirty photoshop to make small change at the rear (and chopped it a little to make the top fit my idea) but if you chop it a couple mm, the roof would be lined up for the caddy trunk shape to work with the chevy top.
  4. i was about to ask if you can post text normally, duh!! lol
  5. I'll try and get hold of Dave, if it helps it works as normal for me using firefox.
  6. do you not have this option?
  7. if you use the choose files or drag option in the box below the text you can still add photos.
  8. tbh this is what i think of as the most iconic Jim Clark livery
  9. theres a few toyish curbside 3d files. with some extra work they can look decent
  10. I wasted the entire day waiting at the hospital for an endoscopy only for the doc to be defeated by my gag reflex. He tried multiple times but no luck so now i have to get knocked out for it
  11. before or after bullit?
  12. Kent models are pretty good for these kits, but the japanese shops have great prices. I've seen these kits at 1999.com for as little as $12 each
  13. the roof is 5mm to the left at the front pillars. its been sat on its side for a couple of years so the rear pillar has a slight twist to it as well which is where i'm trying to get squared up. if it was an amt kit the hot water would have fixed it but monogram plastic doesn'e seem to age very well
  14. Since you haven't finished the glass now would be a good time to paint the edge of the glass black. It will make your model look better as it will make it look like the glass goes in the rubber beading under the chrome. Its a small detail but you'll be happier with the finished model.
  15. thanks, i see a couple of these going in the stash
  16. check if you're using any of the dodgy words listed by Dave and if you are add a space in them
  17. I was going to build my monogram gnx as a regal but it turns out the roof is slightly pushed to one side. I tried the usual hot water fix but i had to stop as its old black plastic and brittle and made some scary noises. Is there something else i can try before i give up and t top it? I've got a fresh kit coming but I'd like to save this one if i can. Its my own fault for storing the kit on its side
  18. you could try kingkit in the uk too. they tend to hve a lot of older racecar kits
  19. do these kits come with engines or trailers? and where do ou get them?
  20. this was the kit with the blue cedric on the top and this was the blue ken n mary
  21. it could be argued the contempory mustang stole its look from the mk2 escort rs2000
  22. Luckily the monogram kit has the flares seperate and the spoiler is an easy fix. The hood might bethe hardest to do but since i plan to fit the gnx bulge to a monte carlo, i'll just take care and swap the parts between hoods.
  23. It might be a rukkus. Pretty popular with the tuner guys a few years back and i think iceman had it one month
