  1. you're using some words that cause posts be rejected. the words we know are s e l e c t, d e l e t e and u p d a te but theres probably more we dont know yet
  2. Just add diecast to your trade title and be clear you're looking for a diecast. Folk have traded magazines amd air brushes before. Just be sure to report the inevitible my friend has that part when you get them please so we can boot them.
  3. Its SEMA time and i'm sure over the next few days we're gonna see some crazy cool and crazy eh? builds so i thought it could be fun to show some. Add your own if you want cos i'll be adding more. Heres one that popped up yesterday that i firmly put in the eh? category
  4. I got the paint mostly done. Its all tamiya spray cans with, unusually for me, no primer. I also found out german grey is actually green so the main body is now green. All the black is rubber black as its all i had. The weathering is a mix of revell pigments, ammo dry brush rust and tamiya paits. The wood deck is brush painted but needs more dirtying. The cab sign writing is hand done with my grandads name and address, and because of the green paint i've given it painted over military markings using the same green paint shade as the house doors as thats what he would have done. Since he did so many jobs on the island i'm going to add some details related to those jobs. The intention is to have the truck represent grandad taking his used tractor home from the steamer (cargo boat). I've also stuck some parts on the tractor but didn't take any pics
  5. try emailing her and getting her to reply
  6. have they spelled the email right? cn she get through from another device? it sounds like the problem is at their end
  7. its a modernised version of their own car, the delorean had nothing to do with it
  8. hyundai would like a word
  9. i'm building a 1955 truck now and there are others
  10. Nah mate, i'm more into tuners and vip with the newer stuff. It is a kit i'll pick up if i find one cheap but not really one i'll hunt out like vws
  11. i like the blue revell contacta or humbrol poly cement in the bottles with needles. the humbrol is probably my first choice as its slower flowing than the revell, but they both work well.
  12. if its a slightly off white crystaline residue its just dried totally awesome. stick it back in for ten mins then scrub it in soapy water and it should come off. i like the totaly awesome cleaner as its safe to strip resin in unlike others
  13. it looks like a good starting point. I'd maybe try another glue to begin. a set of clamps is always handy as you'll often find you need a third hand
  14. more common sense. is it really going to be safe when millions of farmers are counting sheep in the dark while driving 5 ton death machines?
  15. yeah, why should farmers get lighter mornings, i mean what have they done to deserve light? (sarcsm implied and intended)
  16. well as near as you'll get anyway
  17. the hasegawa buick glass should also fit
  18. which style? https://cults3d.com/en/search?q=texaco
  19. i did and i appologise. i completely misread it as saying dont ask questions
  20. coolest would have to be the seafood factories but thats cos they are chilled. the hardest was probably nightwatch on the boat. nothing to do most of the time but when something went wrong it was always 3 in the morning and i had to wake up the bosses. a big highlight was learning by phone how to drop the anchor when she broke loose in a storm and because the ship was under refit there were no torches to be found as everything was being certified. i saved the ship but there was a lot of damage. to be fair though, when nothing was happening i built models
  21. its almost like lightning is too obvious for ford. and theres always the probe but that might trigger et
  22. why have question section if he cant use it? some of us just are still fairly new to models so this section can help. keep asking questions Donny, they also help other folk that might not want to ask
