  1. 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
  2. oblada sounds like a bowel complaint or medication
  3. Cool car and a nice build.
  4. 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)
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. something like this Ken, I'm gathering the parts for this
  8. 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
  9. beautiful build, theres just something about maroon customs that looks right every time
  10. maybe clear the cookies or runyour anti virus/anti spy ware programs. some of the advertising cookies can cause problems
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. do a google image search and you can find pics of the sheets. Then its just get them printed on suitable card
  14. 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
  15. I've already got the file i think, called a shasta camper?
  16. The trailer looks pretty cool, i think i'll have to print one soon
  17. you can get bmf like products in rolls 2 or 3mm thick. Look for nail art striping tape and its about a buck for 5 rolls (from china). Its doesn't have much give from side to side so not much use for curved areas but for straight pieces its does the job on body trim. The rolls arent very long being maybe 1 metre in length and are also available with chrome patterns (one has a convincing burnt polished metal look)and colours. Not quite as easy to work with as bmf but its shinier and can be used under acrylic clears as its usually sealed when used on nails. I'm not home just now but can get pics when i get back if anybody is interetsed
  18. a bit like the saying, "cant see the forest for the trees" lol
  19. I have 2 anycubic printers. I got a photon mono x back in october and i had a lot of trouble getting it to print consistently. After 5 months of tweaking and cursing the problem turned out to be the included memory stick. I was getting prints that looked like there was a bubble abour half an inch above the print plate. There was nothing wrong with the printer itself, just the memory stick and its now working consistently and succesfully 99% of the time. I also have an anycubic m3 max and its been awesome from the start. With it I can print up to 4 bodies or 2 bodies with basic chassis/interiors every 24 hours and not have to worry about the resin running out as it has an auto feeder. I was having second thoughts about printing with all the trouble i had with the mono, but i dont regret it now. I'm happy with them but it was a struggle for me in the beginning but my computer skills were pretty basic. I dont like the anycubic slicer, to me it seems over complicated so i use lychee slicer, its nice and simple for me to use. I did make another mistake when i bought the printer, my computer wasn't powerful enough to run the slicing software so i had to upgrade it. The slicer needs a min 8gb processor to work otherwise the computer will freeze up.
  20. x2 and the bigger porsche tractor would be cool too.
  21. try spot model, they are in spain but they have loads of decals for race cars and will print decals for you if you have suitable files. I'm near 100% certain they have sets of period sponsor decals and altenative decals for many race kits. I have a set of the porsche worthington decals from them (i like the cars history being more than just racing) and a set of rizla decals for the recent sierra cosworth kit on the way.
  22. the aero wheels on the front in racing are used to help cool the brakes and is normally a cover that fits over another wheel. the holes around the edge suck cold air into the brakes and if you flip an aoro disc around to look at the back side it looks just like a bbs wheel without the holes. The different wheels are just a fashion thing now though since brakes are so mush better. i think Ken was trying to make the e-tron have some style link to the s1 that did pikes peak with Walter Rohrl driving with the different wheels. I think the sierra cosworth kit has a pair for the front wheels included in the kit i have. Personally I would have used a bbs wheel on the rear but since i started this around the time of Kens accident I went for what he had. I have 5 more of these kits to play with so there will be some other wheel combos done later
  23. redacted files defeat the purpose of freedom of information requests
