Bugatti Fan

I have never seen Scottie sub titled in Star Trek. Lol. Language is a funny thing, especially dialects. I watched Swamp People some time ago and can generally understand a Southern US accent alright. But there was one character on the programme who's accent was completely unintelligible, but no sub titles. He is an alligator Hunter and what he had to say would probably have been very interesting if I could have understood him.

Speaking of Native English speaking. Why do Microsoft Refer to English as English European and not just English? I can understand the term US English as many of our words are spelt differently in the States.

Incredible what you are doing with that old Tamiya Lola kit Mark. Real dedication with the detailing. Will this model be the outright winner of the last GSL I wonder?

This model is coming on really well. Great choice of subject. Those big MFH kits are quite challenging and bring out some really good subjects that mainstream kit manufacturers shy away from. Would be nice if MFH brought out a Bentley Blower to compliment this one or a Bugatti Type 59 also would be very, very nice I believe that Zero paints have this particular colour green in their range.

Leroy in Tenessee re. C1 Polishing Powder, I understand you are having problems locating their website. Have another go at a web search and put in. C1 Models. This should find it for you. Once you get onto it you will find that they have a very nice range of resin trans kits. The James Bond 'Spectre' inspired trans kits to use the Revell Land Rover as a donor kit look quite spectacular.

Going that thin with brass or aluminium you will be looking at sheet material. You will have to cut strips from it by scoring it with a craft knife and steel rule on a cutting board. If you are looking to solder it then brass would be preferable.

Good old White Spirit from a hardware store should do the trick for thinning enamels.

C1 Metallized Powder is really good. Buff it onto a gloss black and it will come up really well. It also is much more durable than the spray on chrome finishes and much more forgiving when handled. It is good stuff to experiment with over other gloss and matt colour finishes to obtain different aluminium effects. C1 is a UK company and has a website. They do some really nice resin trans kits too. Their latest trans kits are for versions of the James Bond 'Spectre' Land Rovers to convert the Revell Kit. They also make a trans kit to convert the Revell Land Rover into a pickup with optional tow crane.

Matt will do justice to this like all his builds! I like following his various forum threads. Incidentally Motobitz in the UK make a nice set of 3D printed wire wheels for this kit.

Maybe a cheap second-hand Windows Laptop or Netbook might be the answer if the CD roms are compatible.

A very nice take on the Land Rover. Good model, wear and tear, mods done etc.

Beautifully executed small diorama Steve. The beaten up truck and groundwork are most realistic, and it is not often that auto modellers have equal talent in painting figures too. Excellent!

Lovely diorama. Plenty of 'atmosphere' with all the incidental items around the place.

Thanks for the engine into Dennis.

Very nice build progress Dennis. Just shows what can be done with an elderly kit. Where did you source the LS3 engine from?

Possibly pictures taken at shows by magazine staff or an enthusiast turn up in various magazines and therefore difficult to credit if the modeller's name is not by the exhibit at the time.

Thanks for putting the video on here Theo.

Spotmodel's prices are generally competitive I agree, having looked on their site. Some UK dealers have kits at good prices. Wonderland Models in Edinburgh is one that I can think of.

I will have to trawl around some sites and compare prices. Some mark up a lot more than others I noticed she I have been looking for other kits.

Loved his style of Rock n Roll on his piano. One of the greats along with Chuck Berry.

Al, thanks for the reply. Is it possible to put the HPIGUY's video on here? Alternatively, I guess it might probably be on Youtube so I will have a look on there.

Have been waiting for this 35B to be released. The MFH one is beautiful but very expensive. Too expensive for me so I was delighted when I learnt that Italeri were doing one in 1/12th scale. Jason was irritated about no fenders, headlamps etc. I don't think the MFH kit had them either!

It differs greatly from one person to another, and depends on individual circumstances like family/work commitments. If the work area is permanent or temporary. Being retired, naturally I now have more modelling time at my disposal and a dedicated workshop. My routine is to generally get any domestic stuff like the garden and other chores etc done first each day and then go into the workshop. If 'She who must be obeyed' wants to go out somewhere, things can be left in limbo until I return to the workshop. How much time I spend modelling varies from day to day depending.

Don't know if any videos exist of the 2 following records released in the 1960's Till the Following Night by Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages Sutch used to do a stage show here in the UK where he came out of a coffin dressed like a vampire. Girls frequently fainted on the dance floor! Night of the Vampire by The Moontrekkers It was an Instrumental with some ghoulish sound effects at the beginning and end. Surprised that the Adams Family and Munsters themes have not been mentioned here yet, not to mention the Ghostbusters movie theme. Didn't Michael Jackson do a video where his dance group were dressed like Zombies? Was it named Thriller or something similar?

We live and learn with each model Jim. Each new build always had its challenges, especially when adding either scratch built or after market detailing items. Your Vaillant Porsche is coming on really well and will be a model to be proud of when finished. The Vaillant green is a colour that really suits their sponsored cars.
