    Frog made the first plastic kits before ww2. It was all aircraft in 1/72. the first plastic car kit was revell's maxwell. I had a couple of the frog boxes but they eventually disintegrated due to age. frog later just reboxed other manufacturers kits. I had the amt mercedes gullwing in a frog boxing but someone offered me more than it was worth so its long gone now and replaced with 2 tamiya kits

    None that i know about currently. It has been happening when the ai scrapers are opperating on the site. they seem to disrupt everybodies enjoyment

    The closest I've seen to that is Tim Boyd's fotki account. He has a lot of his features on it

    i'll save both your knees. simply put a pair of nylons over the hose attachment on your vacuum cleaner. it will make finding those small parts much faster

    revells stupid idea of putting the brake disc in between the 2 wheel halves. gravity affecting different dropped parts in different ways such as dropping a wheel and it eventually gets found by the curiosity rover or a bit of pe that appears in the washing machine. duplicolour deciding to "fix" what works so now their uk paints are a watery poorly pressurised joke, though the newer colours look great. nobody makes a plastic kit of the hartmann cadillac. 1/25 isn't 1/24. 1/24 isn't 1/25. that guys better than me so i'm going to complain instead of practising posts.

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it, the pics are posting and thats the bit that matters. Its probably the forum resizing the pics but if you have a photo host you could upload it that, then download a different size to see if it still happens.

    are any of the pics on imdcb any help? they might have it in the background of another car

    I made a chisel in school shop class, of course it was supposed to be a screwdriver but my mind was elsewhere at that age....

    apparently not

    it could be your trying to log on while they are doing maintentance or getting scraped by the ai bots. i know i've had trouble getting it to work sometimes since they added cloudflair security too.

    it kinda makes me think it should be filled with cookies and i dont know why as nothing in the artwork is related to biscuits

    sold the old fridge after nobody wanted it free, or for the very cheap price. So i added a tenner for a couple of days, then reduced it and it went fast. turns out i just didn't ask for enough money, lol

    1999.com have almost all the tuner kits. Aoshima, fujimi and tamiya all have lots of tuners and some of the racecar kits can now be converted back to street crs with the aftermarket and 3d parts. and the amount of 3d parts for tuners is growing all the time and with every kit

    with the shape of the truck body, and lack of detail on the front, i'd be tempted to tilt it forward rather than back. it would open up space for supports on the back wall and more around the wheel arch. i tend to print most bodies with med supports for everything (using lychee)

    The model t club of great britian were passing through orkney on a road run this week. I spent most of yesterday trying to find ford gunmetal blue paint for a project but nowhere would mix up a small enough batch. pics in no particular order

    Its my mums birthday so my cousin named a cow after her and registered it for showing. I hope it wins something, it would be funny to see my mum win the cow class next year.

    no but some say not to eat them
  20. stitchdup
    you should be able to make the parts if you cant find them. its just flat shapes

    any of the miniart tractors, why make a battery one piece when it could be six, and while we're at it lets hide the minute bolt heads next the numbering on the sprues so you cant find them. the kits continue to have surprise after surprise but i like the subjects and i will finish them someday
  22. stitchdup
    well you can scale it to any size, lol https://cults3d.com/en/search?q=jack+russell

    the indian is available as part of a kit on cults. i think its called 1920s motorcycle or similar. if i remember correctly it was free which should narrow it down.

    I've got the c1 trans kit for the smokey firebird but choosing wheels for it is tough. I want to build it and have everything except wheels ready for it but none are really floating the goat

    I kinda like it. I can see elements i'd change but i can also see a way to turn it into a wild hotrod with some minimal mods to the front as those front arches are just begging to reach the rear fenders and theres plenty of streamlined 30s cars thats styling could maybe work. Something along the lines of a delahaye or that v16 cadillac as a modern hypercar
