  1. Wow! Superb work, I wish I'd got the space for a lathe and knew how to work it! To be able to make and handle all the fiddly bits is amazing.
  2. No they didn't sell any in the UK and yes they have all shut as the UK arm went bust about 12 months ago. The latest CEO said it was probably because they refused to go digital and open a trading website in the UK.
  3. Thanks Chris. Extra sprinkles..... OK!
  4. Oh right. We don't have push-ups here.

  12. Thanks Bruce. I'm a rattle can painter so it's Plasti-Kote Chrome X 2 coats after primer but no clear gloss because it makes it to look like crazy paving .
  13. Cheers Funkychiken.

  15. It is just a curbside, you get a detailed interior tub with seats, dash etc. But two exits on the sides showing exhausts. So no engine or suspension detail at all.
  16. Built box stock. One thing, fit the rear wing after the body is attached to the chassis. Atmospheric.... Sun coming in through kitchen window late afternoon......................
  17. Thanks Bob. Well someone said on somewhere about using nail varnish as another paint medium, and a wife's girlfriend she swims with twice a week, showed her her nails had been done using decals. So I went on ebay, found a UK seller who specialises in all manner of nail and general cosmetics. I asked her would she measure some up for me and hey presto. I also bought from her right scale black and white Palm Tree decals, for future use!
  18. Thanks guys. We don't see many show rods on this side of the pond, so we have to make the most of them!
  19. Thanks Dann. That's why I painted it in Cold Blue!
  20. Thanks Brian, I just enjoy doing things differently and as our director says in one of his motivational talks 'think outside the box'. What an old phrase that is now!
  21. Super cool, great colour and whitewalls! Well done Ryan.

  23. Cheers guys!
  24. Cheers Mark.
