  1. if you try the two blade, i'd use box cutter blades instead of exacto. the exacto blades wont give you much thicker than a thread while the box cutter is a little thicker
  2. fingernail art tape. as thin as bmf and in hundreds of colours and styles for about 5-10 bucks for 50 assorted rolls. it can be bent around corners if you work slowly. 1mm wide and 5 metre long. If you do go for it, i suggest buying 2 packs to be sure you dont run out as buying single colours is more expensive. some of them have an engine turned effect on the chrome that is very effective when dull coated.
  3. I like it, and imight just try something similar. thanks for sharing it
  4. so your telling me the wind in the uk isn't at 15,000 mph and the temp isn't 400 degrees https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0kjrp2rngzo
  5. its better to regret something you have done than something you haven't mistakes are just a part of life, thats why pencils have rubbers n the end
  6. for me as i'm getting older, its never trust a fart.
  7. i'll use a guide coat if i've done lots of bodywork and use filler primer, and i usually use ground up chalk/charcoal as it shows pinholes better than a paint guide coat but the final go is paint once i'm sure the pinholes are gone. if its normal primer i dont usually bother though
  8. i dont think it much mattered in 1933, the old cars i've been around barely light the road even when pointed at it
  9. so thats where kindig got the roof idea for the 12 pot vette
  10. Its probably still in the works, the audi a4s took near 3 years after the test shots to make it to the market
  11. dont fujimi have the esprit? and monogram have a turbo
  12. very cool, not many mk1 golfs in green but i've always liked it. are those wheels from the fujimi mk3 kits?
  13. they were in my spray booth, my camera doesn't like the leds
  14. 7.20 gmt and theres a problem with the unread content menu. the first page of results repeats and nothing from more than 5 hours ago is showing up in the results
  15. me and my friends made one of these into a beach buggy in our early teens, if only we knew what we had as it was in pretty good condition when we got it. we drove the engine out of it (literally, we hit a bump and the engine fell out)
  16. Nunu racecar kit with uscp interior upgrade and a few printed extras. I'll get better pics once i can get it outside
  17. shockingly its comletely box stock after i couldn't find wheels i liked. I tried to give more of a concept car feel. the dark pic shows the colour best
  18. a little more progress. i trimmed one chassis? rail to clear the engine and the rear seats are very close to lining up with the door trim so i've been adjusting that. since the trim is so clse i'll swap to the audi front seats too
  19. theres a few files available on cults. slowlys models and nahunel customs have them and both do good files.
  20. also, it said there were interchangable sizes and the size you are looking at was one of the sizes
  21. the tyre would be measured to the seat of the bead so being industrial there could be 3 inches behind the rim
  22. that looks ready to fight someone, very cool
  23. https://www.apexway.com.tw/blog-detail/common_wheel_loader_tire_size/
