  1. Tamiya Lotus 7 MK2, nearly finished wheels and nose cone on. A spot of yellow gloss on the nearest headlight, and wait to dry before windscreen, wipers and possible number plates.
  2. Some more 3D printed rims/tyres, this time in a Minilite design, wides for the rear and narrower ones for the front with disks to suit.. They will fit most things 1/24 or 1/25 scale. Perhaps on a Lotus 7 in build at present or a Porsche 914 or most anything else with a sporty feel!
  3. Good old British Frog Eye Sprite! Very well done! I was on an Air Traffic Control team at Silverstone Circuit, myself and two other guys had built kit cars, and another guy who normally came in a saloon car turned up one week in one of these in Grey, that he had done a ground up resto on! He couldn't keep us away from it!
  4. Hi bisc63, well when I was researching the Willow it was shown only once on a trolley and as others have commented in the trolley WIP, I used a photo of a model ( so I'm told) just to get an idea of what one looked like. I would imagine that they would have used whatever tractor or towing vehicle wherever the were at the time. Your Idea of a Kettenkrad would be about right because the rear end was tracked, am I right, to drag it up a beach or concrete slipway?
  5. One of our favourite police programmes here in the UK too! Totally new staff at the station though!
  6. Yes ESPO It's the Jimmy Flintstone (resin, very heavy)Metro Van.
  7. Thanks for that. When I opened it I though AHH Yes!
  8. How do you mould those arches?
  9. A couple of years ago... Turning out...
  10. Thanks Sandboarder. I'm looking at building another trolley as I have a DHC-3 Otter Floatplane underway!
  11. Thanks guys. The Evergreen square bar came in just right for the trolley.
  12. Apologies Jim. I've had a problem on here that I think you may have heard of.
  13. Built box stock adding a scratchbuilt trolley..
  14. But he's contacted me again and said that he has done nothing wrong! Arrogant! I'm thinking very, very seriously about selling my kits that I have left and chucking models altogether. I've bought paints, canvas etc. I majored in ART in school so I think I'll do that instead. No forums anymore.
  15. Fine, I know nothing of railways.
  16. Let's see some of your latest creations, then we can criticise your work as you targeted mine.
  17. Thanks PappyD340. But it's my last post on here. peteski has commented on an airplane WIP very offensively, telling me to get things right! I build the way I want to. I thought model making was our choice of what and how to build/scratchbuild after 60 years of building! Why should he dictate how we do things, only his way? Goodbye. I have sent a message to the moderators but because he's an American and I'm English things will go his way! We only have a couple of model websites in the UK, so I'll stick with those!
  18. Due to peteski nasty comments talking to me like a 5 year old after 60 years of modelling I'm off Goodbye
  19. Thanks 64Comet404 for your input. But due to peteski I'm done good bye!
  20. Thanks for the info. OR as you see things.After 60+ years of model making of all sorts including scratchbuilt projects, perhaps I should stear clear of you and your totally critical comments, and this website and by your tag you represent the Custom Plastic model club, I shall stear clear of that website as well. But there must be something that your not totally perfect at all through life! Your name should be TACTLESS! Further to your unwanted criticism (SO WHAT) modeling is supposed to be enjoyable but if you are there no one on here can get anything right signing off, GOODBYE!
  21. I wouldn't know. I Googled seaplane trollies and this was one of those images.
  22. Thanks Rusty. Well I have an image from the day and it looks to be a black painted structure but no idea of it's type, Alloy I think would have been rare but steel painted could have been a might heavy!
