yes, this was much nicer than the similar age rolls.

While there is another Aussie pick up here, this one was new to me and actually being used as a truck instead of a toy.

I f theres any specific areas anyone needs a pic of please ask. I can get more tomorrow

Might be of help to some of you if your building the airfix or revell kits. This sounded lovely and bass-ey

It looks like you need more primer around the headlights, the mold lines are starting to show and they will only get more noticable as paint and clear goes on. I like to use a guide coat on primer, it can be any paint as you'll be sanding it off anyway. I use my near finished rattle tins for guide coatsand after i think its smoooth enough it gets one last coat. if your doing multiple layers it can sometimes help to start with 600 grit and work up to 1000 or so on each primer layer

spoons are quite like the old monogram plastics, hard and brittle, while current kits are a fair bit softer. the kit plastic doesn't need to hold up to heat like the plastic silverware does unless you use the hood to stir yer coffee. also some of the knive handles make great kustom running boards for 30s cars

once you remove the parts from the sprue your left with the perfect test piece. the sprue is the same plastic you will be painting so why use spoons if you have left over sprue.

I would look for the front wheels from a heller 70s fergie tractor (mf2360 i think) for the rears, they are smaller than the rears on the other tractor kits and look more like those on the doodlebugs i've seen. Fronts from an aa truck might work too as many fordsons on this side of the pond had similar wheels. I've been helping with a vintage show today and fordsom are 80 this year so we will have a lot of them on display. I'm guessing at 200 tractors from before 1970

I cant wait to see how it looks once the clear settles. It would be interesting to see how/if it can be overcoated with coloured clears later. I've been hunting for a chrome that can be overcoated for my hok paints.

if you do decide to sell them i wouldn't worry too much about whats useful. just do the stuff that you'd want as i'm sure theres other that are into the same stuff. Now if we could convince mr obsessive to market his karmann ghia I'd be a happy bunny, lol

I've been setting up the displays for our classic show and this year out indoor display is the end of ww2. Every single organisation that said they would attend has pulled out today. We had signs specially made and spent a decent chunk of money getting it looking nice inside the cattle mart for them. Luckily i know folk with stuff to fill the spaces but thats not the point. we kept them informed about it all year and confirmed them all on monday and they were happy then. I'm going to stop before i cuss them out and ban myself.

cool project. I like the look of your chassis, much more better than the one in the old 2 in 1 kit

allowance? i was allowed food and had to be home before dark. my nearest shop when i was little was an airplane ride away so money meant nothing to me

cults works better if you search by the parts, then use the link on the part page (pic to the lower right of the part image next the follow box) to take you to the designers other stuff. searching by designer just gives you everything even slightly similar in spelling.

if you want to stop the calls keep a football whistle next the phone. They will only call once and flag your number as not succeptible. if you answer with words they will never stop calling

For me its my 3d printers, or the aftermarket on my bench as i think of it. The initial cost was a bit of a shock but i've definately saved money by having it and i use it often for myself and others

thing by volkswagen soon to be available as an ev yet vw completelt missed the chance to call it the thing-ee-majig

My sister just brough home some 125 year old and a 75 year old peugeot memorabilia for a display honoring their 200 years in business at our local vintage show. I thought it would be cool to see what similar products you folks have from auto manufacturers.
