  1. could the cloudiness be caused by not enough heat in those specific areas? if it maybe warming the glass a little with a heat gun/hairdryer would cure the cloudiness. I am just guessing here, i dont have any vac forming experience with clear and only did some little things at school using non transparent plastic about 35 years ago but i seem to remember using more heat in some areas
  2. thats got a pretty nice flow to it, i can see the fender shapes working well on something 30 or 40s with a sloped back ala 37 sedan
  3. early birds may catch the worm but my beds warm and i dont eat worms so imma stay there
  4. I saw three vintage bugattis, 2 dark blue/black roadsters and a coupe, a vintage alvis silver eagle, and car that looked like a blower bentley but about 2/3s to 3/4 size and 2 blue roadsters that I dont know what they were. They were roughly the same size as the bugattis but the grille area was raked back and similar to the auburn cord car. It didn't seem to have a bugatti badge on the grille unless they did black badges along with the red I dont know if the blue colour is a clue as they looked kinda racey. i was shocked how small the bugattis are having only seen a bug based kit before. I really need to take my camera out with me more. I've also seen so many porsche taycans, 911s and cayennes that seeing a porsche isn't exciting anymore in edinburgh. Only seen 1 audi rs e-tron but heaps of the audi rs 4 and 6s. And more tesla taxis than traditional london cabs (the newer ones, not the one thats available as a kit) Next time i'm down this way I'll be going to some industrial museums and a couple of transport museums for buses and trains
  5. Sorry about your friend. I've heard lots of things like this that the chewy company have done. They seem to be a very genuine brand compred to other pet food places. If i lived in the states i would be using them just for that reason
  6. was the decal thats peeling in the water longer than the others? it may be that the glue is gone from the decal if it was. you could try fairly hot water on a q-tip to very lightly burnish it down just in case there still some of the glue there but i suspect you'll need to remove the decal and find another
  7. someone in the posts above said esci. seems all the 190 kits are the same except for some different bumpers and body kits. I dont know otherwise so I'm going with that. the motorised bit makes me think there might be 2 different chassis too as i dont recall my zender version having it but its been a long time since i looked in the box so i may be mistaken
  8. Thanks for sharing this, it will be finding its way into my glue drawer soon. The bondic does have some uses but mostly not as a glue. it works great for filling holes if you dont use handles, and it you have one piece glass you can use it to make a sorta clip to hold it in place to save using glue near the openings. You just need to put a glob on each side of the strips between the front and rear glass. Dont forget to key the area where you want it to stick though
  9. oblada sounds like a bowel complaint or medication
  10. Cool car and a nice build.
  11. Just looked it up, it sounded like my sisters arguing. In my house wap is the sound my slippers make when i catch a corner (i'll let you guess what its an acroninym for, lol)
  12. I converted mine into a 35 but i think i have print files for a ford. The engine on the ford is not the same but did ford use the engine from a model a? the monogram engine might work if it did. the fergusons used engine from the standard vanguard cars but the diesel or petrol/parafin engines might have been ford. I know at one point there was ford ferguson tractor but that might refer to the hitch on the back as ferguson was sometimes used on ther brands to say they were compatible. Incidentally, the first 4x4 road car (not jeeps or trucks) was the jensen interceptor and ferguson provided the 4x4 system. The prototype was discovered in an aircraft hanger at my local airport by me, but i thought it was just a normal jensen so i didn't buy it, still kicking myself over that, a 4x4 mopar engined luxury car for less than a grand (it needed lots of work underneath) The kit is still available and if you get the double set it comes with a very nice reference book (written in french but the pics are good) but i would expect there to be another special edition coming for the anniversary of ferguson as i beleive they are aproaching 100 tears as a tractor company soon
  13. or heller, their grey fergie is one of the best kits I've seen one of the most accurate kits in my stash (I've restored 3 and a half of the 35s and a 135). So if they want to continue their run of tractors that would be cool too
  14. something like this Ken, I'm gathering the parts for this
  15. I built the tamiya mustang back in the mid 90s during my first time building models. I liked the kit then but since then i've learned somethng from members here on its defficencies but having never seen one for real those dont matter to me. I wouldn't mind getting another for the nostalgia factor but i think my build choice would be the monogram as it has more versions available for kit bashing (my last one is under a 48 woody). I've never had the amt kit so i cant really comment on it fairly
  16. beautiful build, theres just something about maroon customs that looks right every time
  17. maybe clear the cookies or runyour anti virus/anti spy ware programs. some of the advertising cookies can cause problems
  18. does it work if you right click and select open in a new tab? admittedly i gave up on chrome and only use firefox now but chrome seemed to just hang up when loading pages
  19. I only put it on my cv for jobs that will never include welding, if theres welding its in the other information part since i did the course but it was useless, so it maybe proves i have commitment and if nothing else they ask about it so its an expected question
  20. do a google image search and you can find pics of the sheets. Then its just get them printed on suitable card
  21. where did you get a pic of my government certified welding? seriously i did a course a few years ago that got me all the certificates but didn't include any welding, lol
  22. I've already got the file i think, called a shasta camper?
  23. The trailer looks pretty cool, i think i'll have to print one soon
