Hi all , new to the site but not to modelling..bit of an old fart ! but i love old Escorts..Had a look on Ebay and i was surprised at the price MK2 and MK1 Escorts make , especially if they have been "modified" is this a market at the moment or do collectors want something out of the ordinary .
1/18th is a nice scale to model , especially with a small band of sellers on ebay supplying some really nice resin wheels etc..
I have only modelled in plastic but a metal bodied car gives a far better finish than a plastic shell , and it shows on here , the cars are superb !
Just a hint with milliput , if it gets sticky try a bit of flour.. the baking cake type ..sounds daft but it works and will not affect adhesion ..
