  1. Cool veedubya, especially a south american version
  2. A bit of body work. I couldn't get the chassis low enough so i've printed out one for a slammed pick up and will cut it up to fit. Because i got ditched the chassis it left me with an issue of how to mount the fenders as they mount on the chassis. To sort this i took some inspiration from the figoni and falaschi pre war cars and now it has fenders that will mount to the body. Theres 2 weeks work in the fenders and there are 3 open ribs running the length of the main body. I might add some chrome trim to these to make them stand out. I have the same detail on the centre console
  3. Its available as a 3d print https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/nissan-hardbody-d21-1994 or https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/nissan-hardbody-d21-extended-cab-1994
  4. It sounds to me like the issue isn't in ukraine. there are various malicious apps that route your web traffic but when you go to pay it sends you to their own payments pages. if the problem was in ukraine they wouldn't be taking payment in florida which leads me to think you have a malicious app on your device. I order from all around the world and the payments are always taken in the home country. when i order from hong kong, the payment is taken in hong kong and the same for every other country. if your business is in france you wouldn't take your payments in brazil.
  5. I would use a toothpick or cocktail stick. when i've tried to use a brush i end up making a mess but using toothpicks i dont have enough paint on to make a mess
  6. the steel and polished aluminium are the onlu ones that buff, the rest are matt finish.
  7. Very cool, I didn't realise these kits had engines
  8. it should say fujiwara tofu shop, the animated series initial d is well worth a watch if you can find it. lots of drifting, touge and tuning and a decent story line.
  9. I think the humbrol metalisers have been discontinued also, my local record shop has the full humbro/airfixl range and they have been trying for over a year to get me some more.
  10. A gang has been jailed for robbing high end watch shops. You could say they haven't changed because they still have time on their hands
  11. i think it was called rust to riches
  12. i guess the kit screen would work for a similar age buick if you fitted it and the roof on a foose caddy
  13. Does the crown of the roof on the 1/1 come further down the screen? the kit seems flatter above it and the kit pillars look to be a lot thicker than the 1/1 down the sides
  14. I dont think I've seen a bay window with colour matched wheels before.It makes it look completely different, in a good way
  15. That tv show on netflix that liked to use their waterjet for everybit of trim had the molds to a futura body. It and another concept copy were some of the few decent cars on the entire show. most were shoddy work with bad joins, dodgy welding and various other flaws not even mentioning the lack of concern for body lines. I think the main guy must have worked for george barris before tv
  16. Cool and in just the right flavour, remember, if you aint rubbing then you just aint dubbin
  17. just put some of the missus tights over the end of a vacuum but your probably better to just work on it wet. it will keep the dust down much better. i expect for those to work you would need to be right next it and it wont be very big either. or if you have a paint booth use it with some old filter material to save the good filters. it should catch most of the dust
  18. we got a guy on a motorbike with a sidecar until the mid 60s when they got moggy minor van or mini vans. The vans did have some differences from the general sales vans, a second seat was a special addition and they all had wire screens between the passenger compartment and load area. The post office used the same vans and not surprisingly most of the moggy and mini vans that survive were these vans because they got undersealed from new.
  19. have you tried the files in another slicer?
  20. its still better than a goerge barris car though
  21. I live 4 miles away from the last place british folk stepped on british soil before emmigrating to canada. Most europeans stopped in by to topup their supplies too before attempting the arlantic. The pier the boats left from is still there but now owned by the lighthouse board. The well they filled up from is still there too. All these boats went to hudsons bay packed with people and returned packed with furs and other goods
  22. heres the 1990 version before it was restored back to the model kit version. I cant find a decent pic of the 1980 version
  23. spot model in spain offer this service if you have the art work. https://www.spotmodel.com/printlab_howto.php
