  1. Nice builds guys but a lot of these are not recreations of icons or real customs. Lets try and get back on track and i know theres more than one of you with stunning hirohatas.......jus sayin
  2. theres a load of the parts you list on cults for printing. if you look for a designer called cosplayitemsrock they have a large range of dirt track and pulling vehicles with plenty of accesories or a search in the rc section will bring up more options than searching auto and moto would. I think slowlys models have a few more modern light bars and there is a set of fender flares for the wrangler that are free files but i cant remember the designers name just now
  3. Its very entertaining. I had one from a injection sierra in my mk2 escort. made 110bhp and due to the base car being originally a 1300 crossflow, a lot of that entertainment came from only having drum brakes and a 50-50 chance of coming out of a corner forwards. That may be down to the tyre being a mix of radials and crossplys at any given time. great fun with a manual box
  4. plenty other options too supercharged down drafts injected turbo and twin 45s which is prbably the most common
  5. yes, its also the basis for the cosworth turbo motors and massively tunable if you look to europe
  6. compare the prices though, shipping is cheap too
  7. so its like mentioning ru****eum on here, lol
  8. I agree that bikes probably should have their own section or be included in cars at least (i'll suggest it) as they seem to be getting more popular to build (and i like the 70s hondas). As for the scale, its you guys that name your threads so include that its large scale in there. As for miscelanous being obscure, its in the same section as the others types of builds so just scroll a little longer maybe. Theres not really much we can do to increase the views as we dont control what you view on the site. Maybe posting in the mock ups thread could increase views or add a base and post in dioramas too
  9. I'm finding i have my booth mounted too low down. I think i'm going to raise it up closer to chest height as i prefer standing up to paint. It should give me more storage space too. But can someone recommend a good filter material? i'm using fairly fibrously loose stuff now but it gives me a lot of back spray and i'm running out anyway so need to make a purchase soon. Is the tighter fibres stuff any better?
  10. Well the kit arrived and its by maurai. It has working lights and interior with opening doors and looks like it should be an interesting build when i get to it. The engine is just a top part but looks like some detail could be added. I'm happy with it
  11. the reg plate says its an ocelot so i'm going with that
  12. a mercury cougar grille centre might work better for you. it is much closer looking to the 71 grille and might just need the front edge of the hood modded. the hood also you might also be able to use for the galaxie as it has the right shapes already. maybe a secong gen camaro or firebird could get you close to the rear lights
  13. I've done the same thing, I misread an ad for transkit and then spent 6 months searching for a hasegawa crew cab
  14. I had a guy dealing heroin staying upstairs a few years back. the cops raided him many times but never found anything. our bins got collected a day early after christmas and i found his stash hidden behind them. I opened the bag and used it for the toilet then called the cops. they found it that time. but this guy was the same idiot that tried to rob a post office and ended up being beaten by a kid with tape dispenser. the video was on youtube but i cant find it now. edit; found it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-17377089
  15. if you want it in metal with options for 4, 6 or 8 i can recommend these guys. Great parts and prices https://mrmodel.store/en/124-metal/9-mm1059-wired-distributor-kit.html
  16. do you mean model factory hiro? hiroboy is just a store albeit a very good one for japenese kits
  17. It got merged with the 1/24 and 25 scale stuff a while back.
  18. i have a couple of the amt bel aires but i'm sure theres a w motor in some of my other kits too. i'll have a look in the morning
  19. very cool, i see a lot of t3 vw transporter in the bodies
  20. The one with the air bubbles would work great. What do you need in return?
  21. up until about 10 years ago i was in your area a lot skateboarding so i view things the other way, lol
  22. there were some wordscausing posts to be rejected. Most seemed to be co mmand type words and need spaces or extra letters added to get the post past the issue. If it might be word used for computer commands try doing the above and see if it works. I'm not really a computer guy but this was an issue for some members fairly recently until Dave figured it out
  23. are you using a phone with one of the free browsers? they often have stuff like that
  24. Welcome Tony. Where abouts are you located, I'm just off the tip of scotland
