Thanks guys. Yes the fade by spray can spraying two colours at once, one enamel and the other acrylic, without any reaction between the two. And the forks I thought of shortening using alloy tube instead. I may well try it with a similar kit if I can find one at a reasonable price.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks guys.

They are in this Fujimi kit..

Recently bought kit that has a number of decal options, I chose Cream Cycle. I used clear red for the engine detail and also on the wheels to give an anodised look. The steering works but carefully! The Ice Cream decals are nail art.

My first trike kit build. I have a few things yet to do to finish. The decal sheet gives you six options from Milk through to Soda, I chose Ice Cream/Ice Lolly. Plus I've added Some Ice Cream nail art decals to the rear. I've also painted some of the chrome parts with Acrylic Clear Red to give an anodised look. Yes the steering works 'carefully'!

MPC Milk Trike, my first custom trike purchase and build. There are about six options on the decal sheet. So I chose the Ice Cream set. Plus I have some nail art decals of ice creams, two of which are on the back. I have a few things to do to finish, this is as at today.. I have used Acrylic Clear Red on the chrome to give an anodised look. The steering works 'carefully'!

Thanks Rusty. I bought this as a friend had one in the day and converted it for GB National rallying.

Brilliant! How long have you had it? It looks great!

Thanks Bruce, your right I had to keep them wet for a time while I lined them up as they were so big up the side.

Built box stock added tyre decals. Although it has two sets of decals for both 1987 and 1988 I chose these. Well I was unhappy afterwards as the large side decal in blue and white over the rear wheel, was too big, as it covers both the rear of the door over the edge of the glass and the leading edge of the rear window glass. Very good quality throughout and fitment was as well. The holes though where other items are attached need to be enlarged.

Fabulous work, well done!

Whilst talking to friends at our local coffee shop in a small pedestrian mall here near home, Spot came around the corner, He has just been built by students of The University of Buckingham Computing Faculty. The head of department was just taking it for a walk. People were taken aback as it went through all of it's moves and took photo's on their phones. Technology nowadays is amazing!

Thanks for the info about Magzter I have ordered issue 204. Paid for digital and got it straight away! I now know were I can see the magazine, thanks Mark Hubbard!

I'd like to download one as I've never seen these, being in the UK but do you have to be on Facebook if so that's out.

Very interesting, I'd like to see in the box at the size (scale) and parts to build the truck.

Apologies guys. Not having used podcasts or even knowing what they are shows my ignorance, perhaps because we (my wife and I ) are over 70 years of age. Yes people do use i phones ( we have old 'dumb' phones that we use to call/text our son's, we open them perhaps once a week) and what is called social media but it allows cowards to insult various area's of our social make up and not get caught.

Most of us in the UK don't do any form of what we call anti-social media, or have I phones. As a pensioner I find them too expensive, and mobile phones don't rule our lives. Interesting to view on TV both F1 and Wimbledon Tennis this last week showing nearly 25% of spectators 'gawping' at their phones, not watching/interacting with the sport that they have paid high prices to visit. Sorry for my rant.

Just tagged on ebay should be here by Monday 5th July.. I saw lots of them on track in the day as a marshal at Silverstone!

Thanks guys, yes our youngest son had an early 325i in red of the same model number as the car depicted. He came in from work one day, we live on a hill and the handbrake goes to the front wheels, he normally parks it with the front wheels at 45 degrees to the kerb. But this day he didn't! As the front brake discs cooled down it ran across the road into the back of a neighbours work van parked outside his house. The rear van doors opened inwards! Matt's BMW was embedded in the back and was written off by the insurers and he got next to nothing for it! 12 moths later someone phoned up for the log book, the crash damage cost less than the pay out and was back on the road it sold at a dealers for 20 times more than the insurance write off quote!

The Meastro was produced between 1982-1987 by British Leyland. As our 1965 Beetle was a 'C' reg that must be 1983 I think.

As an ex-rally marshal in the day I'm looking forward to the end product, whilst watching the progress in the mean time!

Thanks Larry, yes as I've said earlier, a nice kit.

Cheers Bruce, I just love decalling!
