  1. Thanks guys, yes it's much too clean! I don't know what happens where you live but the taxi's here in the UK seem not to have indicators fitted either!
  2. Thanks Bruce.
  3. Cheers Chris.
  4. Thanks Bill.
  5. Thanks guys.
  6. Thank you TonyK. Yes as a firm racing enthusiast I tend to try and put tyre markings on most things. I went over the wheels with matt black paint and rubbed off the excess while the paint was still wet. As well as choosing the low settings for the suspension.
  7. I don't know if this should be here or in 'Light Commercial'? Built box stock, side door can be fixed open or closed as can the suspension in high or low..
  8. Fantastic looking workhorse!
  9. Yes it's difficult using airbrushes! I tried some years ago and now just use spray rattle cans and get some fantastic finishes without all the hassle of mixing this and that and having the hassle of cleaning everything airbrush side afterwards! I even do hydro-dip where you have a tub of warm/hot water spray on the the surface with various acrylic colours, stir and dip the body in or other parts you want coloured!
  10. I've got the last Scale Auto Contest Cars 2020 that they have produced. I shall miss that each year!
  11. I remember these on the stages as a rally marshal in the day! I remember both drivers Malcolm Wilson and Tony Pond driving them. In fact a friend had a custom exhaust business (exhausts for both rally and F1) and he replaced the shortened V8 they had in the car to a full blown Rover V8 as his daily driver to & fro his business each day, awesome! As a kit I hear it is great, to me as a retiree far too expensive.
  12. Ah that's better. Very nice build, well done.
  13. I've just caught up Bob, this is something I've never seen before and you've made a great build of it! Well done Bob.
  14. I've built various things over the years, only 60 of them! But having only one local (20+ miles away) model club and finding out beforehand that over 95% of the members only build military vehicles or military planes and showed no interest at all in my car builds, put me off as they weren't interested in my builds or skills. So no heading towards and killing machines either in tanks or planes thanks.
  15. Very good, great imagination. I've recently finished that kit as the box top represents, but this is something else, well done!
  16. Superb and well nothing more to say! Your scratchbuilding is totally beyond me!
