  1. wonder would the " How to become an really annoying poster" include tips on "how to bump your own posts" and "Post ridiculas model builds" and not to mention " Look at me photo;s" shame this won't make it to print
  2. very Interesting site.... Bruce. some excellent reference material.
  3. These look like Scale auto covers which I've subcribed to Scale Auto for 9 years now ,and I find it a very good magazine. Is it a direction change for MCM or special editions , if so do you need to be a subcriber.?
  4. nice build.. Personally a big fan of the 131 abarth. It stormed the world championship in the later 70's early 80's pre Groupe B. A must in a collection for any rally fan.
  5. Lovely Diorama Junkman (Hardly a suitable name for your build quaility). please show us more
  6. any tried and tested ways of preventing the metal pipe from clogging with hardened glue..? I've opened so many of these but the usual is the same ....clogged tube after the inital use I've made sure to wipe the excess off and push the cover on tightly. suggestions or Remedies please
  7. 1) Anxiously open the box, ..usually in the car on the way home from work or at the buddies place. 2) go through each sprue and judge the quality 3) read the instructions. 4) Ponder the short comings of the kit and list the improvements 5) consider an OOB build... but referre back to #4 and actually add to the list 6) place contents back in the box and store in one of the Hoarding area's 7) use #4 as an excuse for not starting "this one" and carry on as if nothing happened.....

  14. Hi Paul, When referring to resin in model making (car's ,boats ,planes,etc ) it's a 2 part liquid that's mixed. One part is the resin and the other is the hardener.The mixture will harden quickly depending on the ratio and the ambient tempreture at the time of mixing. it should pour with a nice consistancy (like partially whipped cream) It's used for small batch work and or upgrade items for existing kits, usually fairly costly to purchase due to limited run the nature of the market it's aimed at. There are a variety of differences between using/building with resin which more experenced modelLers here may Identify for you ,as I've not built much myself. Wear a mask when sanding this stuff during clean up and preperation for paint as it can be toxic . The "Plastic" used in industrial manufacture of model kits bares no resemblence to resin and is normally in granular form prior to entering the Molding machine,which in itself is a topic of it's own.
  15. Amazing detail and Realism... It's clear the Rabbit is a Dictator...WITH it's wealth is clear to see on it's throne. Inspirational
  16. excelent looking model topic... what engine dose this run ?
