  1. Volkswagen Snowflake wheels arrived this morning, I'm looking forward to putting these to use on a Volkswagen Golf GTi Special, basically a Swedish Golf Pirelli, which came from the factory with the Snowflake wheels fitted instead of the usual Pirelli wheels, they've been designed to fit straight onto the Revell VW Golf GTi kits.

  3. As soon as time allows, I'll start making the molds,
  4. Fingers crossed, it should be ok, it will need a good stir for sure, but it's been sealed in a can since I bought it, luckily it's pure un-thinned paint, I'll find out very soon.
  5. Superb build and photography, you could swear that was the real deal
  6. I'm just hoping the paint i have is ok, it's the old cellulose type paint, which I've had in the cupboard for 7 years, yes, that's how long I've been planning on building a Fiat 500.
  7. Just makes it easier, I use a single action Badger 200 for primer, then switch over to my Paasche VLS for the colour coats.
  8. Chevrolet script and V emblems primed, these need to be painted in Gold, then I can get this one finished
  9. Bodyshell and smaller parts in primer,
  10. Primer sanded and wiped over with panel wipe, I'm going to be priming all my work on the backburner, before cleaning out the spray booth, and cracking on with the colour coats.
  11. Absolutely superb build....
  12. It's been a long time, but today I finally got into my new workshop and got some priming done,everything went fine apart from a few imperfections on the bonnet, which will take 5 minutes to get sorted.
  13. It's totally different to BMF, it's a vinyl, you need to be careful with it, it seems to loose the shine if you stretch it too much.
  14. After all travel was pretty much banned due to Covid, we've finally got the vacation sorted for next year, can't wait to finally get away, I'll have so much photography to do over in Kefalonia. https://www.avithosresort.com/
  15. Comes with being a Workaholic, until I went Semi retired 3 years ago, (which was forced on me after having a mild heart attack) I was surviving on around 4 hours sleep a night, these days if I'm not actually working I'm planning something.
  16. I'm going to have to crack something, I've got 9 models on the go, all for magazine reviews, so plenty of writing to get done as well, plus I've just agreed to another 3 builds for Farm Modeller magazine, in between all those builds, I'm fully booked with my photography business from the beginning of July to the end of September, 2021 is certainly a busy one for me.
  17. The German one is still on the cards, although there seeing a rise in Covid cases, the organisers are working on the Shizuoka show right now.
  18. Superb build, probably one of the best I've seen of this model
  19. Although I need to get the back wall finished, the Spray room is now up and running, I'll be cracking on with my airbrushing in the next few days.
  20. Usually Bare Metal foil, I use it on the rear lenses as well, makes them look more realistic
  21. A few drops of UV resin, dries crystal clear

  23. Arrived this morning from Chris @C1 Models, you just wouldn't guess his bodyshells are actually resin, there no thicker than a regular styrene kit.
