Love the Shasta Caravan, pity it's out of production.

Looking good Dann. the latest photo's here were at the Classic race meeting at Silverstone last weekend and at Goodwood the week before. Where I am now is just 20 miles from the original factory at Newport Pagnell, and the new factory 20 miles the other way near Banbury. So we see various camouflaged future cars. I was walking into the shopping centre of Buckingham where I live to see the new 2019 Aston Martin Vantage on the road just passing through. This photo was taken just outside their test track. One of my son's had the Dinky Toy version of the one your building just after the film was released. The button on the side opened the roof hatch and shot the passenger into the air and it had missiles that fired through the radiator grille. Keep up the good work Dann!

Thanks RAMBENNA.

Thanks bbowser. I didn't paint it. It came in a glossy yellow plastic so just polished it!

I have a large 1/10th scale car kit and need to remove the paint from. It may be either Acrylic or Enamel spray paint, as it has that awful 'orange peel' effect. Can you advise me please?

Cheers Chris. Thanks Jim.

It's a Renault made in France, but I understand from our eldest son in Canada, that Renault don't export to either Canada or the USA.

Lucky you. Can't afford anything like that , even the fuel prices here would be very expensive, it's £5.20 per gallon for petrol here. We run an Eco car, 1.5 litres turbo diesel and 60 miles to the gallon.

Thanks jchrisf. When I was at the Le Mans 24 hour races, the Corvettes were the noisiest by quite a large margin!

Built box stock , just added tow rings and aerial.

Super 356! I was just going to ask about how you did the arches and you beat me to it! I have other plastic spoons that I may use but they aren't quite that shape!

Thanks guys for your comments. Yes it's one of the worst kits out. I've even bought a re-introduced one and it's just as bad! it is though one of my most favourite 1:1 cars.

Two at present. I'm still trying to finish a Pocher 1930's Mercedes Benz Cabrio that my wife bought for me in 1988! Other than that a Revell CR6 race car.

The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage. The factory is not far from here so we see Astons on a regular basis before their release.........

Cheers Anders.

Monster! Superb!

Thanks guys. That's not smooth paint that's very high gloss plastic as it came out of the box!

Thanks Gary.

Thanks guys.

Thanks Peter.

Thanks vamach1. Yes I remember buying/building an Airfix 1/24 of the Gulf Oils version in the '70's, and even that had a lift up rear body and full engine transmission. and lift up bonnet with a spare wheel!

Thanks David. Yes this is the Le Mans winner in 1966 in that colour. Yes I found a number of pit doorways in my Google search and printed this one off. I found some stiff polystyrene sheet and made up the dio today.

Thanks Tyler.

Built box stock, not much in the way of detail, steering at the front and just a transmission at the back and a metal rod axle joining the two wheels together. But a good PE sheet and good decals are included.
