i use Zero paints grey primer , ready to airbrush , it covers and sands well , i used to use auto primer in cans , but now i use the zero primer and will never go back now

Looking sweet so far fella, im looking forward to building my one , i just waiting to get the money to buy the big PE set for mine

Hi guys , i am in need of some help as to the best way to apply carbon fibre decal to a bonnet , without getting creases , i have got micro set and sol, but it keeps getting creasese in it , any tip or tricks greatly received , cheers

Gotta be worth a laugh, most of my builds look like that anyway , so count me in lol

Hi i found this stuff , its from a company in the uk , im gonna get some and try it , what you guys think ? http://www.alwayshobbies.com/Tools-$4-Materials/Scenery/Deluxe-Materials-Scenic-Rust.ice it actualy uses iron filings and an accelerator to make the filings rust , cant get much more realistic rust than that can ya lol

Very crisp, love the modern stuff, what you got to build next ?

Absolutly fantastic turn out , i think im turning green with envy over the quality of the buils , unreal , thanks for sharing the pics Mikey

Hiya , the sierra in the piccy i got from a guy on the XR owners club , he had built it but had hand painted the body, so i preped it, sprayed with white primer , then it all reacted , it spent three days in DOT 4 brake fluid , cleaned her up and started again , i still have another unbuilt XR4i kit waiting to be done properly from the start, that one ive had in the loft for years they do pop up on ebay every now and again though

Hi just been nosey realy , and wondering what everyone is working on today if anything ? Me im building the Tamiya Volvo Estate for my Dad as he ownes one , so thought he might like a replica ( pics to follow)

cheers for the welcome guys , looking forward to learning and picking up tips and tricks , and hopefully get better , i thought i was ok , but after seeing some of the work on here the stuff i do is pre-school lol

cheers for that , i have seen the head visor here in the uk , and i think i will go down that route , its cheaper than a magnifing lamp , anything to help my degrading eyesight, as ive only just started wearing glasses after 38 years of not lol, i do have the micro-scale sanding set from when i did it last time around and it is amazing , with that i got best paint at show when i enterd a '57 chevy , at a model comp during the NHRA meet , in Essex , i was well chuffed , i wish i had pics of it , but it was a few years ago

Great site, beats photobucket lol, its a great idea , its been bookmarked fella so i can see any updates

Cheers fella, i'm having to build on a budget , so much stuff i want/need , but no money to buy it, so having to sell stuff to then buy bits ermmmmmmmmmmmmmm what can i sell next ?

Ya another Essex boy , how many more ? lol i think i need 1, a lot of practice and 2, a magnifier light lol

Cheers Mike , will do , i've just taken a few pictures of the Sierra i've just finished and to be honest now i can see it on a PC screen , its pants , god my eye sight is bad , it looks good when not via macro on a screen lol , i feel ashamed to post pics IMG]http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk27/peterandria/Car%20pics/DSCF6489.jpg

Hi guys , sorry but i have been on this forum a few weeks now , but i never actualy said hi , and how much i love the forum , its great to see everyones work and i have to say it gives me insparation to build all sorts , i havent built anything for about 4 years now and just got back into it , anyways hope to post pics of what i have made (albeit nowhere as good as you guys) and use this site to help me improve

Hi , can i ask , how much and where from ? Cheers fella

im working on , get this lol , a Tamiya Ford Sierra XR4i, which i bought of a guy and he had hand painted it , so out come the brake fluid to strip it ( fingers crossed ), a Tamiya Porsche 911 GT1, a Lindberg 1953 Ford, and the Tamiya U.S.S Enterprise for a mate of mine , and the fact im using the dinning room table, well it aint easy lol

Awesome tip , i may try that to get the effect i want on the chassis of a car so it looks like it has underseal on . Sweet cheers for that

Hi guys , i found this , it isnt the answer you are looking for , but i think it a great idea none the less , i tried it and it is great for fine application of cyno , tell me what you all think ? http://www.resinshipyard.com/pages/tip_pages/glue_tips.html

Man that is the mutts nuts , love it , oh to be that good

i was cutting out a battery cover on a kit because my nephew wanted it to work , but i had already glued it down , so as i had the chassis in my left hand and an xacto knife with the curved blade in my right hand , i exerted a small amount of force to cut through the glue and then , slip the blade left the chassis and entered my hand at the base of my thumb with a full stabbing motion , it only looked like a paper cut , but when i opend my hand fully it then opend up , i could see the bone , straight to A+E , id severd a nerve and sliced the artery , i now have a zoro scar on my left hand lol

You havent got a 1970 Chevy Impala in that lot you dont need have you ?

Loving the volvo, ive just got hold of the Estate version , as my dad owns a real one and he wants me to build it for him , i got it off ebay for £30 which considering the cost of kits now days was not that bad , another guy on there has one on "Buyit Now" for £55 , now that is steep , anyways good luck on your search
