Well, I've got this far with a different rescued Meyers Manx, That might have these on the back.. And Ski's on the front!

Yes! I remember these in the day!

Id love to know what the 'beach buggy' is on the front page in orange, please?

As a pensioner I have bought a few bits from Shapeways and Jimmy Flintstone over the years. 3D machines and all the supplies to go with it and scratchbuilding with resins are just too expensive.

I'll have to try and get the digital one here in the UK!

I'm for more Meyers Manx kits although I've built about ten or more. And all other VW based kits as well.

Yes Steve another kit I'd like again! I built one about ten years ago! Super kit all round!

Yes Les another kit I'd go for! I built one about 10 years ago!

I agree with this kit! Very difficult to find here in the UK!

As a regular LEGO builder as well, I need to look out for this here in the UK!

Thanks Carl. No big block v8's here!

Superb! One of my favourite 1:1 cars!

Superb! Best colour ever!

Superb build! These 1/32 Airfix kits are great, I have a few. Again, watching the Hornby series of TV programmes, this week it showed one of the female Airfix designers in the car driven by a rally driver and afterwards taking all of the measurements etc, to produce this kit. Hornby have at their HQ purchased a 3D printer to cut down times of producing prototypes prior to going into full production.

Yes, thanks Andrew.

Really neat!

Thanks guys.

Thanks Jim. On the driveway Andrew? It's a Renault Captur (no E at the end as it's French) ECO Diesel with key-less entry and start and an ECO switch on the floor, permanently switched on. 54mpg round town and 63mpg on a run. They call this type of car here a CrossOver. Diesel Fuel here at present 176.9pence per litre X 4 £7.08p per gallon!

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Pierre. Most if not all Tamaya kits are kerbside.

The Tamiya Subaru Impreza, fits together in possibly the best, easiest form of any kit of it's type. Plus the original cars were built just 20 miles away at the Prodrive complex in Banbury Oxfordshire! This is, the tenth one in my collection.

Just delivered by UPS from Holland, 4 Shapeways 3D printed, TRAX or two pairs as is the case, in 1/24-1/25 scale in white stiff plastic. I can now try to find the vehicle to fit them to, be it a Jeep, Smart Car or Meyers Manx! I've just realised that these are upside down! The largest wheel is the driven wheel from an axle!

Superb! All I've got to say is 'OOPS'. I've nearly done that a few times! I was working as a temp at a warehouse and after training they let me loose with a fork lift truck. 'Pat' they said 'unload that pallet off the back of the small Luton van', a small box van in the UK. I didn't realise that the amount of stuff on the pallet was higher than I had lifted the roller shutter door on the van. I put the forks under the pallet started to reverse, caught the roller door and pulled it out of both side channels creasing the alloy badly! Very OOPS, first day! The warehouse manager came out from his office onto the yard smiled and shook my hand! The van was old and he couldn't justify the cost of a newer one, so as the damage would cost of fixing would cost more than the value of the van, they could have a newer one at last! So going from about to get the sack to a cheer from the warehouse staff!

Super project!
