    Meyers Manx 3

    I call it 3 because this is my third build of this kit................. I did a few mods and used some of the decals from the kit.
  4. Hi guys, I've been on hols. So as soon as I got back I laid up the plumbers alloy tape and here are the pics........................... Yes it's plumbers tape! A little thicker than BMF but it stretches! Now I've got to do the undercarraige, spare wheel hanger at the rear, tow bar and gas canisters at the front and legs and feet front and rear. And there's the lights and number plate etc to finish off.
  5. This looks just amazing! Please tell me what model or kit did you start with?
  6. Wow the BMW looks good. I can add that to the Merc and Audi I've already got on the shelf. Being in the UK that kit should be along soon!

    Meyers Manx Buggy

    Now that's neat! Well done ddk nice colours and detailed finish thanks for sharing.
  8. Please does anyone out there have any photo's of the Manx kit built with the decals laid up? I'm trying to place the decals on a Meyers Manx kit but have no idea which decal goes where. On the box it shows a brief side shot with one of the long decals on the side of the body, but no placement pics in the instructions. Any help will be gratefully received, thanks.
  9. Well done curt it looks fantastic. I always think Ferrari's are boring when they are all (Ferrari) Red! Thanks for sharing super colour.

    Triumph TR2

    A superb Brit car, great build well done.
  12. As an aircooled VW nut this looks to be a great project, I look forward to the rest of the build.
  13. Last week A Flying Cloud Camper RV in resin..... And today from ebay UK an Airfix Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 for spares already started but all the bits are there... And a Tamiya Peugeot 206 WRC 2005.... A couple more towards my stash of WRC RallyCars.
  14. I did my first 'Tuner' recently I've not built one before in my 40+ years of modelling..... I basically built a new chassis and added all of the kit bits onto it and adding tuner rims and tyres. I tinted the rear side glass as it's illegal to tint front side windows in the UK, but also you can't see anything inside if you tint them all,so why put anything in! I also put only one wiper on the front as some touring car racers do here.
  15. Having seen one at Silverstone recently racing in classic sportscars you've made one heck of a job. Well done and I and forward to seeing more of your work, thanks for sharing.
  16. If I junkyard it southpier that could be the base! Sixties Sam I'm looking at doing it with Plasti-Kote chrome rattle can and clear glosscoat from the same firm as with my teardrop I scratchbuilt a couple of years ago.....
  17. I've just had delivered the above 1/24 - 1/25 scale resin Camper. It's cast as a junkyard diorama piece. Perhaps I'll do it that way as it has a lot of flash around the bottom of it OR is grass and other rubbish? OR should I renovate it and build a complete interior knowing the bits that you can get nowadays from resin casters? As you can see it comes with a spare wheel with tyre and a couple of cooker gas canisters. I've had to wait a few weeks getting it from teddyb2336 on ebay from the states to here in the UK but it's worth it!

    Pink VW.

    That looks just fantastic, yes your right we need to build something else nowadays, well done!
  19. Super build, I've built a few over the years, perhaps because the Prodrive factory is just up the road from where I am now! Well done!
  20. Looks good, do those wheels and tyres come with the kit?
  21. Well everybody has already said it, your paint is just amazing!
  22. I bought from an internet shop via ebay the new Citroen 2CV Fourgonette van! With corrugated sides an all! Look good with grey primer and a gloss coat on top.
  23. Great photo's, it's good to see what's going on at model shows over the pond. Thanks for sharing.
  24. Tanks guys for your comments. Thanks Tom, yes I've just been out to my cabin (where all the work is done) and the front wing logo is in fact chevy LUV! Well done sir that's another question answered, TooOld.
  25. Thanks guys. Well TooOld thats a jolly good question, as I said it had been in a box with the Ford for I don't know how many years. I just took it out this morning tarted it up and hey presto! As you can see from the first picture it's got a chevy grill and in the fourth picture showing it's engine you can see numbers and the chevy logo on the side of the wing behind the front wheel. Was there an S10 or was that a Japanese pickup? I'll have a look tomorrow to see if I can make out what it says on the wing, as it is in the cabin and I'm in the house and it's 10.17 pm.
