  1. If it's a single windscreen, plane canopy, car headlight lens, all I do is paint round the edge of the body with a small brush and clear gloss enamel paint and carefully, with tweezers place the clear plastic onto the opening, inside or outside whichever way it should be mounted, leave overnight, the clear gloss dries gripping the clear plastic piece.
  2. Neat conversion using 850 gear!
  3. Interesting! If it was painted a sandy colour it could be the brother of the Wallace & Gromit film on the moon, the mobile cooker parked up while they were eating the cheese they sliced off the surface dunes!
  4. Great kit, next time I get one I shall paint every panel a different colour, oh mine was in bright red! Great build well done!
  5. Plenty of room in the back for groceries!
  6. Beautiful! A chap who used to bring his sons to our regional BMX racing had a safari, estate version, fantastic!
  7. Yes I had an email from Scale Auto outlining the last Scale Auto Mag would be October 2020! Also that SA stuff is being included in the Finescale Mag, but I don't want a tanks/aircraft mag! I've ordered only this week their Contest Cars Annual 2020 and paid for it, so I hope I get it! I've read various comments on other sites saying that the Finescale mag looks like disappearing soon as well! I've paid my SA Sub to December 2021! Although it was my first modelling website, I shall be sorry to see it go. But since last Sunday I've not been able to access either SA or Finescale websites, they tell me that they had an IT upgrade of their sites last weekend and I should 'clear my caches and Cookies' I answered saying that they need to tell me how as I'm not IT/PC Savvy and don't know how to do it!
  8. Really superb scratchbuilding as well. Looking forward to the end product!
  9. Very good indeed, one of my favourite kits!
  10. Thanks guys. I hope to back to modeling soon and have the spray booth ready as well. Building a Lego Land Rover Defender, should take a while, it's taken three days to build the rear transmission/suspension, roughly 60 parts!
  11. The kit..... Wanting a different finish I sourced an aftermarket set of Haribo decals. I also couldn't do any spray painting as the spray booth is not available, so left the body colour in standard grey as it comes in the kit. I have also added a few Monster and smoke camo decals! I'd seen this one on track and liked the Haribo Bear decals.......................
  12. Beautiful Michael, I remember these when I was a stage marshal!
  13. Superb Tim plenty of decals too!
  14. Thanks Carl.
  15. Cheers Larry.
  16. Yes Steve dead right. Being there watching them is a treat!
  17. Thanks David. No issues at all in the build, super quality as usual with a Tamiya kit. The kit decals are of a very good quality as well.
  18. Yes definitely Night racing lights, I have seen them up close at the great race!
  19. I was trying to depict this, a car Numbers 8 & 88 run by a satellite team....

  21. Thanks Jim I'll check these out. I don't now of many modellers here in the UK use this type of thing.
  22. Thanks for that Peter, we have Windowlene here in the UK. I'll have to see if it works on our plastic models.
  23. We don't have the majority of products you have in the USA so we have to find alternatives.
