I have a cabin in the back garden, so spend 2 hours in the morning, perhaps another 2 hours in the afternoon, and if I want to finish something off an hour or so in the evening.

Brilliant!

Thanks Steve. Which maker is the JB kit? I've been trying to find one. Many moons ago, we had a Press Officer of Audi GB as a neighbour. One evening he bought home the first Audi Quattro in the UK! Showing my interest whilst building a kit car, he took me out in it, the power and road-holding weres incredible. Even better when we were about 5 or so miles away he said 'you drive' and I bought it and him home! What an experience having only seen one in a motor magazine in pre-production photo's!

Thanks Carl and yes you are right!

Update 31.07.24.. Decals difficult to lay up on dashboard with raised areas. Decal onto scrap plastic, clear gloss, cut out and attach to dashboard. Test fit body.. May add decals before final fit adding clear gloss to decals!

Cheers Larry.

The bonnet was one of the worst I've come across, an absolute pain!

Done! The bonnet was a nightmare!

Thanks Alan, yes the wheels are from the kit and very nice too! Yes the colour makes a nice change.

So far.....

Cheers Greg.

I have started the painting of this already started kit I bought 2 months ago. I have two others built as per the box art. The bright colour is to update a drab workhorse and it's dull colours.

I note that although I live in the UK, your website is taking a long time to load/open. Is there any work in the background causing this please?

My latest kit MPC The Wild Ones, 1929 Ford Pick-Up. Sorry it won't download photo's from Fotki! Hooray third time lucky! PS Why is this taking an age loading?

Thanks Alan. That sounds like me at 76 suitably derelict!

Thanks Rusty. Yes it's a good kit as most Heller kits are, with good instructions as well. I always, as this one do some image research of real ones to decide the way to go!

Cheers Larry.

This is a spare body found in a recently built kit. I wanted 'Ratify it'! But being careful to add enough but not too much paint. So the body is Heller but all other parts you see come from the junk spares box!

Thanks Jim B. Yes a very nice postcard find.

Well I have contemplated building my first dropped/lowered frame/chassis!

A card from our recent visit to Helsinki..

I have one surfers and one woody.

Yes Carl to go with the other two. but how to build it?

Another one via ebay GB, the third!
