cheers mate,for a minute ther i fort u was going to say its shit lol.
yeah ill have them lights if u ment for me,would look cool on the p100how much you want?

alangti

your best bet mate to be honest is to take everything of the shell buy some nitro morse soak the car in it strip all the paint off to bare shell then give the car a right good clean in soapy water a few times then use some alchohol wipes on the car use some acrylic primer taking your time dont over do it and try using a hairdryer to heat up the shell and the paint will apply even and smoothly and bond on impact due to the heat them leave an hour or 2 then gently rub over the primer with some 1200 grit wet and dry using hot soapy water again let the shell dry using a hair dryer again to warm the metal also drying out all the little crevises wipe over ith an alchohol wipe again then apply the paint same as primer hold the can around 12" away from the model and spray evenly that way you should get a nice smooth shiny even finish and will make the model display far better.

i realise reading it is easier than doing it but if you take your time mate it will work out good luck and get some pics up when done always a good idea to have paint stripper sand paper alchohol wipes primer paint and laquer in if your planning on doing a model as you never know when you will need them lol

alangti

ok buddy thank you

combi van man

combi van man

to be honest mate,i dont want to make another s1 kit as its a pain in the arse to get right & takes ages,

alangti

no worries mate you got anything to swap ?? like a rally style spoiler for my bug eye scooby

cfoster

Just seen this thread (god knows how I missed it!!!!) - some awesome work there. How did you all get into doing it? I've got loads of 1/18 models at home and wouldnt mind trying it. Havent been through all pages but do I presume its just a case of stripping them down, painting, buying aftermarket bits from ebay (UK I presume?). Do all bits almost fit each other or is it brand specific (ie, Burago etc)???

Very impressed by them all!

Cheers
Chris

combi van man

il see if ive got owt later mate

alangti

no worries buddy if not you can get the spoiler off ebay its Ł8.50 and Ł1.50 p+p so if you get that you can have the car let me know bud cheers

alangti

most parts fit all cars mate most of the ppl on here build the kits from filler and putty you can find a lot of parts on www.ebay.de which is ther german site just search 1:18 tuning

english ebay is getting more and more parts now though and mentalist dave off here is the uk import 1:18 wheel supplier and does the various styles of wheels in the colour of your choice for a very good cost also different colour brakes

if there is anything you need you can guarentee there will be someone on here with it

get some pics up of the models you have would like to see

petey.

pretty much mate, wheels are the only thing that are a pain in the arse and usually have to end up glueing them so they dont spin but its no biggie.
get some pictures up of your models, love seeing peoples collections

alangti

well another turned up today



and my 3dr back in the cabinet with its big brothers


just waiting for my abu dabi focus wrc and bmw e30 m3 borbet to come now yey

cfoster

Excellent cheers chaps, I might start giving some a go!!!! My collection isnt as exotic as some on here but have the usual esc cos, 3door, i think i have every colour f150 lightning plus loads of jap stuff. I'll dust em all off and get some pics!!!!

Do they come apart relatively easy or are they prone to snapping etc?

Chris

alangti

if your gentle mate there pretty straightr forward you have to be gentle with the new sunstar stuff and the 3dr sierras as everything is screwed but all the older stuff is just slotted on

what jap stuff you got and what escos and 3dr's

petey.

get small screw driver and a craft knife and its just a case of being careful, thankfully most things are easy fixable/replaceable anyway

interested in the jap stuff!

alangti

oi you i asked first if he has a yellow scoob and wants to sell its mine all mine lol

cfoster

lol, nah no yellow scoob!! I bought a few of the 1/18 (could be 1/21) models in the US a few years back, think i have a white scooby!! Off the top of my head got an RX7, 350Z, DC5 Mugen Integra, Red esc cos, black esc cos (i tihnk!), red, white, silver, black, light blue, yellow f150 lightnings, white 3 door etc etc...

Where do you guys get the small sticker kits from? Do they come as packs (ie - Texaco rep) or do you get them made/printed?

Chris

alangti

there is people on here m8 can make anything you want as a stickeroppertunities are endless u wanna sell your black escos mate and i love the integra models what rx7 u got too bud

petey.

can get them made and you can buy them ready made for smaller scales,
mentalist dave off here does the decals, but im sure you could make up simpler designs yourself with the vinyl cutter
interested in the rx7 mate, the mugen integras are really nice too

alangti

pete were did you get them wheels that were on your old black rs500 replica mate as i really want some

alangti
