if you dont have nearby forest, you can get the lichens and mosses from a florist

i'm in the uk and can print for you. being a vw fan i have lots of vw and porsche parts ready for printing and if it just wheels/tyres i can add them on when i'm printing larger parts. i can print up to 1/16 bodies' I'm not a business, just a guy with printers. also i probably already have the wheel files. i can do any era of the fuchs rims in stock or custom, dished or flatface and any size. most of the wheel files i have also have tyres included

haggis done right doesn't include meat per se, but is oats, chopped organs and spices boiled in a sheeps stomach

sins and virtue is the start of a scottish saying but the rest will get me banned

nice work, if these were 1/24 i'd probably get a couple

contents of the 50 kit, just the grey and chrome, the white bits are 57 chevy

joined up writing is difficult in russian or chinese

is the f on the front from something else. it looks smaller in the last pic

i bet you didn't expect this

i've got an airfix snap kit of that car from the bobcat series they did with heller. 32 parts and 24 of them were wheels, lol

i'm not sure how rare these are but they dont show up for sale very often. the scirocco is the most i paid for a kit that wasn't by alpha. i have another golf with a reiger bodykit but it was also sold as a tuner version so only the box is rare. the pontiac has a typo

if its enamel paint oven cleaner works well. i put the parts in a ziploc baggie spray to cover the parts then come back in half an hour. it can struggle with some blacks and metallics but you can use ipa then. if its a resin body i use las totally awesome cleaner. its not fast but it wont damage the resin. it also works on most paints

the body is now mostly good. i need to do some work aroung the headlights now i've fitted the 911 ones. i had to both file the outside edges down to fit the body which means theres a little tidying to there. and since its too cold to do any printing i'm back to using a tamiya bug donor. so now i'm actually building (i consider the area around the lights building as it due to a mod) i needed to choose a motor. i considered an aircooled motor but it just didn't feel right. next i tried a tamiya 959 motor but it was going to hang out the back and that would spoil the lines. i tried a watercooled vw 16v but again it was going to spoil the lines and after breifly considering a rotary i settled on a resin suburu motor from hobby design. i need to find the pe set for it as its not in the box with the engine.

the front end makes me think renault alpine

theres a designer on cults that does the full range of porsche mirrors. i think they are called 3dvm or similar but if you search audi tt 1/24 he will pop up among the results with a red tt. it takes a bit of searching to find them but cults have improved the search so you can now search just one designers work by opening their page and using the lower search box

kent models or hiroboy in the uk or spot model in spain

horta know by now you lotta aorta

that would shorten its life, the descicant is there to adsorb damp and stop things smelling fousty

i like where this is heading, if you added a fastback style roof it would be the mirror of somehing i've been thinking about

if at first you dont succeed, skydiving isn't the hobby for you

he'll need to tighten that fan belt or the engine will lock up. nicely built too

prime, sand, repeat buts approaching usable now. i tried to save the rear vents but i ended up having to fill them. i've also filled the bumpers and front of the hood but that was to save paint. i gave it a guide coat just to help see where we're sitting now i think once the fillers rubbed back and primed a couple of times that i'll be able to actually start building this

somebody did a build on one somewhere on here maybe 5 years back

loudest noise i ever heard was when the engineers forgot i was mopping the hanger and did a full throttle engine test
