  1. Thanks Anders.
  2. 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.
  3. 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......................
  4. 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!
  5. Thanks guys. We don't see many show rods on this side of the pond, so we have to make the most of them!
  6. Thanks Dann. That's why I painted it in Cold Blue!
  7. 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!
  8. Super cool, great colour and whitewalls! Well done Ryan.
  9. It might be you! I've already had three others commenting on the build pictures sorry.
  10. Cheers guys!
  11. Cheers Mark.
  12. Thanks Scott.
  13. Thanks guys! The ice cream decals are Nail Art decals! But I thought I'd use them on a build!
  14. And thanks to the other guys for their comments.
  15. Thanks NOBLNG. No you can't have an MTB without mud on the tyres!
  16. Thanks jchrisf, this is the Fujimi kit, bikes, roof bars and top boxes............ They go at about £15 here in the UK on Ebay.
  17. Thanks Ray in what flavour? We have Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple, Peppermint or Chocolate and would you like wafer biscuits or two slices of bread?
  18. Having read the 'Pet Peeves' thread on here I hope I don't offend anyone with my seemingly less than perfect (it may seem to others) build. This is the Revell kit version. Other than the twisted, buckled floor, front and rear windows buckled, and side windows too long and too high and oh yes trying to fit the body over the interior, was nigh on impossible. I had to shave down the door panels, take off the dash and shave off the mounting to the floor and about a 1/4" round the top of the dash as it touched the body without the windows in! With the engine surround there is a window panel at the back of the seats, this was also far too high and wide so shaved that down too! And a few other problems, too many to count! Anyway here's the finished article......................... The bikes, roof bars and top box come from a Fujimi kit. The decals are a Dot Camo from Scale Motorsport. The rear bike rack is scratch built. If anyone is offended by this thread please comment so that I can avoid this website in future!
  19. Superb build and decaling. I'll have to look at SlotFabrik Decals.
  20. Superb and 'thinking outside the box' to build a modern car with flames, great idea!
  21. Yes I've just started... What does annoy me about the majority of race/rally car kits is that they don't include seat belts on their decal sheets, you always have to source those somewhere else and they are expensive to get one A5 sheet of them! So I now print my own! Just imagine driving one of these with no belts on, crazy!
  22. Superb! I was marshalling at Silverstone when I first saw the 962 back in the day!
