have you tried a cutting compound like t-cut on a q tip. you'd have to wash it after but it should take it off

Well, this is still delayed. I'm waiting on tamiya paints to get restocked at the local shop. I used duplicolour on the chassis and some of the finer detail was lost so since there is a lot of nicely detailed parts i'll wait for tamiya.

if you strip the plastic from small female electrical bullet connectors you get left with a short nicely flared exhaust tip. afew seconds in a drill with some metal polish and they shine up nice.

whos your service provider? i changed from EE to talktalk at the start of the year and it sped everything up. I also went to no limits as that gets eaten up just loading pics. If you look for gaming compatible you get t faster too

this is more evolution of technology. they couldn't invent a powered aircraft but they did play with baloons and gliders. the technology for powered flight couldn't happen before oil was discovered, not because of the lack of fuel but because no-one had a seemingly useless product to find a use for until then. most technology is designed for a need and very little is the massive leap we see from glider to jet but even those could be understood by people from back in those times as the principles are the same, theres just thousands of tiny creeps forward in technology of difference.

i've got a 1/24 toilet lighter. i was thinking to do a taco shop bathroom dio, lol

if there a fisn tank maker near you they could be a good starting point. you would need fishtank glass anyway as its toughened (water is heavy) and they may have tank fittings that would work too

arrived in scotland today

i see a lot of cool stuff but the pre 40 stuff and the 59 gm cars has most interest for me just now, but my mood changes with the wind so tomorrow might be 60s muscle, lol

wow, every time i look i find another detail i missed, nice job

some of the grilles are available from a designer called king-3d on cults and I'm sure i've seen some other conversion parts too

Nice work, do you plan to sell your files? i'd be a buyer

could it be an older custom? what can be seen looks familiar to me from ccc or rik hovings fotki

plastruct had that for a while, there were 2 sizes that i've had but i haven't seen it for a few years now

it depends what your looking for. theres files for most types except pre war stuff with the friction discs https://cults3d.com/en/search?q=front+suspension

i see at least one 49 frod (spelling intentional)

for 3d printed parts i place the part on a sponge, then pour a little boiling water directly from the kettle over them. if you only do a little at a time and work slowly it works. if you try and do large areas it tends to not go well and you run the risk of distorting areas you didn't want to. be sure and cool the parts completely before reheating, it seems to work better than only heating and holds the shape better. i tend to have water in the fridge for cooling the parts. it also matters how long ago the part was printed, the more recent the print, the more sucessful you will be. older prints will still reshape, it just means working a bit slower again. you dont want to do too much at one time as thats when cracks appear

homologation rules were interpreted very differently at lancia among others

not just yet, i was away for a car show and delayed waiting for stronger glasses but they're here now.

every band had one of these, it was the reason british bands started using larger drum sets on tour

While at first these 2 dont look too mean, during the 60s thru to the mid 80s if you saw these 2 being driven fast, theres an extremely high probability theres just been a bank robbery and about to be a vehicle fire. So being the gangsters favourites must qualify them as mean faced. only the petrol transit qualifies though, the diesel was a bit of a dog but ford gave them a different front so you didn't steal the wrong van

I asked them for some of their vw rims in modern sizes. they were happy to do them for me and it only took a week longer for them to arrive.

that capri has a cosworth v6 in it with a manual box,

the lagondas travelled up from the mainland, and about a dozen cars came up from orkney. The ferry was full every day from tuesday thru friday but that included ordinary cars and stuff too. maybe up to half were local cars
