  1. Paint update! Although sludgy, after an injection of new clear acrylic thinners and a stir, the Revel Acrylic cube paint pots are resurrected! This may be the one and only camo coat! Other small parts to be painted prior to decaling.
  2. Eurosport here in the UK, run an hour every evening about 10.30pm and it shows all categories. That's good because in the bikes our Sam Sunderland has now won twice! UPDATE They are showing it at 8pm now for 1 hour each night. Eurosport One! Our new neighbour Is a fabricator in motorsport had a team member leave to Prodrive at Banbury, and is out in Saudi allready with their team.
  3. Yes I'm waiting too. A friend of my two sons mechanics for the Toyota factory team out of South Africa, will be on this event again, this is about the 10th time!
  4. So far.... The kit has a lot of very small PE parts. As an elderly builder, seeing them, cutting and handling them is difficult, so will be leaving them off.
  5. Very good going so far!
  6. Well....the first one, Les.
  7. Cheers Larry.
  8. Very impressive! As an ex-rally/race marshal, having seen them in both guises, the kits are just as impressive as the real thing!
  9. Thanks guys. I did the windows with a Molotow Chrome pen.
  10. Thanks Bob. It was a standard glue kit. It just came without the box top, the window trim was Molotow Chrome pen, as it's the only thing I have now to go around windows except for a Black Sharpie.
  11. Supplied as an already started with the tyres missing and a few parts too. I had to radius the front arches (not done that before) as the wheel/tyre combination was slightly wider. I painted the interior matte black.
  12. Oh look a real one! We've not seen this photo in the UK before either. Thanks guys, super little kit in near !/24 scale. Yes it needs an air filter to play in the dirt, but we don't see many V8 kits here in the UK the parts for them are rare. I really wanted to change to a Carb and low filter and modify the bonnet (hood) so it was flat and covered the engine completely.

    Yes another snap-kit, I only painted the interior and the running boards as both were too shiny. Some of the old decals tried to fall to bits, but I saved most of them!
  16. Just an update, Last to do tomorrow will be the front and rear bumpers, the aerial and the Fire Department stickers. 27.11.22 Finished!
  17. Started this today, another Snap-Kit, since finishing the Airfix Quicksand Jeep. Only interior paint on this one, keeping the Red body just polished.
  18. Thanks guys. The plain black was too sombre.
  19. Yes it's a Snap-Kit build up, and finding a few old acrylic matte colour bottles, I used a brush! I also used a Molotow chrome pen and clear red and orange.
  20. I recently bought the Airfix Jeep Quicksand Quickbuild. Although a 'Snap-Kit' that goes together very easily, It's just gloss back with red interior parts, I found a few old acrylic paint bottles so painted it as such.. I hope to finish it tomorrow.
  21. Superb! Something I've been looking for, for sometime!
