but how do they sell the extended parts and labour warranties if you can fix it at home. its the only real chance car makers have to grab you into a subscription. they saw tesla do it and now they are desperate to do it too cos its like free money. the customer no longer matters, you'll just take what your given and like it is policy now

swap the airbox for an aftermarket cone filter, it makes the lights much easier to work on. you can find the bulbs cheaper if you go to a hella dealer as they use the same bulb in some of their own brand spot lights

1999 renault laguna. passenger headlight blown. bought in 2002 for £750 as an mot(roadworthiness test) failure. figured how hard can it be to replace a bulb. to get to the headlight i had to remove the front bumper, radiator, intercooler, top end of the exhaust and the airbox and pretty much everything in between. spent 30 seconds swapping the bulb. i put it through a test and sold it for 6k a week later and gave the guy i bought it from another thousand to make myself feel better. just the lightbulb took 18 hours but that cars still a local taxi today.

if its a resin kit start your rounds of primer with a good high build primer. mask of any of the finer detail, then give it a coat or 2. block it back starting at 400 w'n'd, prime again and work up the grades of w n d until you get to around 800 or 1000 then its just repeat until your happy. you can do the lower grits a few times before building up and i like the tamiya sponges for first prep on the bodies. sometimes just the sponges are enough to prep the lower striations but i'll still use this method each time too. if its one of terrible nylon prints from shapeways you have lots and lots of work to do and the best advice i can give on those bodies is chuck them away and find a resin print. the nylon does not cut, sand, file or play nice in any way edit- I've used duplicolor auto acrylics with tamiya without problems. just give it an extra day or 2 between paint types.

fudge packer was genuinely one of my previous job titles but could be deemed offensive without context which in this case was placing fudge into boxes

personally i only use ca on resin and prints. I prefer poly cement for plastic. and glue for clear parts is also a must. most ca and polystyrene glues will fog clear parts

it is going to be done. I cant do it so i've passed it onto Dave. I can assure you its going to happen, i just cant say when

never drink half a tin of red bull, it gives you wing

I'd replace them, most of my 90s tamiya tyres went hard then fell apart. If you plan to change the wheels anyway it might make it an easier swap

they hide it inside the alpha model kit site https://www.alphamodelkit.com/

there is a metal kit. i saw this one at a show but i know nothing else about it other than probably expensive and hard ti find. I base that on the guys other entries all being large scale euro cars. sorry about the poor pic, folk just kept pushing in the way so i grabbed a quick one as i had a boat to catch

glue a circle of p80 to the end of a pencil then twist it between your fingers keeping it centred. you can also put some on the sharp end to speed up the start, you can put it in a drill but it just gunks up. dont make the sand paper too big or it can damge the rim. i have tried cutting them by razor sawing through half the rim but i prefer sandpaper now as you can check fit as you go to nail where the wheel sits in the arch and i often add circles to the pins on taniya for the same reason. tamiya to fujimi is much simpler, evergreen have the ideal size tube for both sides .

I'd put it under the body style. if its car body put it under cars a pick up/van under light commercial and so on.

I haven't printed that model but i have done others by andrey. they print good but i feel the engines are a bit small and basic but most of us would change those anyway and the chassis are more toy like but he does cars you cant find anywhere else. There are other designers offering upgrades for some of his kits now too if you want a different build style.

try google, if you search as normal then click images it brings up loads of styles

with my luck they'd leave another

we can merge both accounts if you wish?

the alsa chrome is pretty much what they use on mirrors, but they call it silvering. it is available in the uk and you can see it used on the car sos episode with the jag xjs. I've been intending to contact the company shown to enquire about the possibility of doing model parts

I've been trying to GIVE AWAY a fridge. Plenty interest but nobody has turned up yet even after arranging a time to be home

my largest box is the twin heller fergie set with the book. its the same size as 3 large tamiya gt boxes laid end to end. the next largest is an airfix spit in 1/24
