  1. I was a race/rally marshall in the day. I was taking pics with my son's zoom lens near a corner and as the driver took his foot off the gas a flame about 3 feet long came out of the exhaust just under the passenger side door! When I developed the pics for that day all I had was the flame, nothing of the car just the flame! Superb so far, keep up the good work!
  2. Great build, well done. We have a lot of those here in the UK, super, economical car, specially when our fuel is around £5.60 per gallon ($7.70)!
  3. Thanks Rider.
  4. Cheers guys, not a bad kit for a kerbside.
  5. I built this alongside the Citroen Mehari . It's a metal axle rear end with working steering at the front and all the bits to put an electric motor in. Metal axles so tight I broke out a rear hub and rebuilt the wheel centre.
  6. Thanks Tulio.
  7. Yes that would have been a good idea. I hope your enjoying your 'New Life'!
  8. Hi David, yes another quirky looking thing!
  9. Super build Paul, I built the Capri when it first came out. Ah Napier only there in late January, on a cruise from Sydney, great place!
  10. Thanks Anders. I've built the 2CV and the HY van, super kits. There is one problem with this one, the wheels are only one sided there are no backs to them so the tyres are always trying to roll off, because they are a tight fit and are of very soft rubber , so I stuck them on with superglue! Next time I'll make some wheel backs from plastic card to keep the tyres on!
  11. Yes Dann quite a bit of the new very narrow Tamiya white masking tape, but worth the time!
  12. France's answer to the beach buggy. Manufactured '60's to late '80's, main parts from Citroen 2CV saloon to 'trendy' open Sand 'n Surf vehicle. Originally had the 2CV's canvas roof and seats.
  13. Very nice, good to see a popular British sportscar on here. Thanks for sharing.
  14. Thanks guys.
  15. Thanks guys, yes a wood decal with brush on high gloss clear.
  16. Thanks guys. I've been looking for a few more small boat kits, but we don't see many here in the UK.
  17. I bought this in early 2008 and have just got round to building it.Due to the very thin casting/moulding it's been a trial sticking the deck and hull together, so not that pretty. I added my own wood decal to the deck. The website picture The build..................
  18. Another quirky kit......ordered from ebay thursday evening, delivered yesterday (Saturday)
  19. Superb, it's looking at a box art and thinking 'RUSTY'! Well done.

    Supra GT

    Absolutely Superb!! I use /do a lot of decalling, what a great idea to swap makes Porsche to Supra, champion!
  23. WHOA!! Amazing Just Amazing I seen a few drawings on Deviant Art, that shown quite a few kooky jet vehicles. In fact I have on the shelves an Emhar Bedford Tipper than I was going to turn into a lowrider, BUT this may well be the way to go. Thanks so much for sharing.
