from pics on the internet it looks like you could swap the glove box and gagues around. it would take some careful cutting but both look to be square and the same size which makes it easier. the centre console would also need altered and that is more difficult but not impossible. also maybe theres another version of the kit has both dash included such as an american race version

calling it done for now. a friend is going to help me wire some leds in later to make it a photobox. Tractors are revell and heller with one fergie converted to a 35 like my grandads as a near finished resto

violin s is never the answer

nahunelcustoms on cults does a few and amt did a pymouth

i'd look at z forcemodelworks, they have a load of resized stock rims and being printed you can do them any size

arrrived in scotland today still no sign of 222 though

shouldn't ben dover be a customs agent?

Nice work, i just saw a load of these at a show but my pics didn't turn out very well. your game parts look great when they're all painted up

a ford freda and i'd never heard of it either. i guessed at australian or south african but it turned out to be japanese. pic from interne t

the local model club had a show today. only a couple of cars but plenty armour and military stuff and for the purposes of this post i'm calling the dolls houses dioramas as these def aint toys now. over 300 more pics here https://freeimage.host/album/GQ3zb/?sort=name_asc&page=1&seek=d8pHyt1 i only found out about the show earlier in the week so i didn't display this time but might next time. there one model pictured twice with a lighter in the second pic to show how small it is. the fun fair is all scratched as most of the large action man/ gi joe army vehicles

thanks for the pics, looks like a fun show

cool, these were proper little sleepers

i used tamiya under hok but i put a barrier of automotive clear between them. i also let each layer sit for a week so it was an 8 week process but its worth it for hok

mine was a similar looking but chunkier wheel. something looks a bit off with the whole wheel/gauges area. its almost like its been pulled back and up

flickr is a decent source. theres groups for most brands

this one?

the last era of decent cars from peugeot was when these were around. the 1.6 was fun but the 1.9 had a somewhat predictable habit of spinning 180 on tight corners if you booted it at the right time. they were unbeatable in stock autotests for a while until the focus rs arrived. i had 2 of these when i worked in the bodyshop but one was a 4 door diesel that always felt like it was in the wrong gear. it would be cool to build a modernised version so i'll get at least 1

since its red and revell you'll need to do a mettalic silver or gold layer between the primer and colour coats. the revell red and orange leeches a lot of colour through the paint and the silver stops it

nothing is too small

I've made a start on the aero. I opened up the vents on the running boards and they now exit at the rear. i'll be tieing this into the diffuser and fenders but i need to do the other side before then. now your probably wondering where the motors will go as there aint much provision for them but they will be mounted to each wheel with a lexus type semi independant trailing arm suspension mounted to the red centre diffuser in a f1 style. so this doesn't have a chassis as such. i've got a lot more to do on the aero bits. i also cut dwn the firstr motor i made and made up 2 more so this has 4 motors now. i also found a set of bigger tyres for the rear.

that front bumper would go great on a pro touring build if you wanted to keep the chrome. just imagine it on the back of a 70 chevelle

After a short pause while my nieces were home I've got back to this. My last post i talked about curving a spare grille but after doing it, well it looked naff and only suceeded in wrecking 2 grilles, so i needed another plan. the result of which involved a new mini front end and a bug hood for an approximation of a indy car if it didn't need a grille and had lights instead. i think i can hide their mini origins with some detail painting. its only in the early stages but the shape is starting to come together. the outside of the body has a 2mm wedge chop using the bottom edge of the rear glass for the rear corner and the front top corner for the front. this saved cutting the roof (for now) and brought the pillars close enough to be fixed with a file later. then i chopped only the centre of the roof another 4mm. i added a split spoiler to the roof but think i might have another idea forming for it, so we'll see if it lasts. next up is finishing up the front end, suspension and chassis/aero....stay tuned, its about to get wilder....lol

the movie car was built on an old land rover fire truck and sorta coincidentally the car from league of extroerdinary gentlemen was built on a range rover.

if its any help, the pre painted kits are usually much cheaper second hand
