Hi everyone, i know i am a newbie or "Virgin" as this site likes to call me and i dont actually own a ford right now, but this seems to be one of the only places on the net where you can talk about 1:18 scale cars

As most of you seem to be, i also am very much into my model cars and the more i read through this thread, the more i want to modify.

So, i wanted to guage everyones thoughts on whether it would be worthwhile creating a new website dedicated to 1:18 cars, a miniature owners club if you like

Im proud to be a geek lol, i love these things and it seems as though its just getting bigger and bigger, and as great as this thread is, i thought it would be good to have a dedicated site.

I was thinking that it would be a good place to share tips and tricks, pictures, lists of where parts can be found etc etc...

I dont want to invest a huge amount of time and effort making a site if everyone thinks its a pants idea, just wanted to see what public opinion was like.

Cheers Matt

 

does he think we're stupid!!!!!!!!! i bet he just put it on there so we find it,

 

someone has got a thing going on with 1.18 scale models on facebook but im not sure what its called as im not a member

 

got a pm from albo on ukford fingers crossed, not saying much as his done this before will update if anything happens

 

I thought he has requested that his account on there be closed??.Im happy to give the bloke a chance as we all have other things on our minds etc.

 

his account on ukfordoc is now down as banned

 

there is a few dedictaed sites, but i found them to be not very friendly.
good idea starting one but we would all need to move there and chat about our model cars.

maybe passion ford could start a model section!!!!

 

How about holding a 1:18th 'Ford fair' show with scaled concours stands,club stands etc,now that would make a damn good Ford mag feature

 

yeah i like to stay on PF as i also read other threads when nothing is happening on here lol

 

thats a good idea!!
all get together with our models and have a stand.

 

This sounds like a challenge

 

that sounds good,i would have to by a estate car to get my cabinet's there as i would'nt want to risk any kidds getting to them

oh dave f, i got my grill cheers mate

 

Ive started to make a few 'show plates'. Will see how they go.

 

well as my internet was down for most of yesturday i spent a little time tinkering with the mk1 cortina.
still not sure what to do with it yet but started trying some different designs on it.



still got to do a bit of bodywork but couldnt resist trying some things out!

 

im a member on;
project118.com
diecastcentral.co.uk

but like dave said they're both pretty quiet and not half quarter as friendly or helpful as the lads on here, give it a go if you want though!


Roy the escort looks awesome, i got that cash posted today mate it'll be there for you tomorrow morning

 

oh and the minilites on it are a copy of what rapids got on his mk2!!

 

agreed ,
there is a few sites already out there but not a lot of activity on them .
this thread probably has 10 times the amount of people viewing it than members , i used to keep looking on here for about a year before i joined .
i think we need to work out a way of letting a wider range of modders know that this thread is here !
maybe if we all do some pictures or video of our models and post it on youtube with a link to the thread under the title 1/18 scale modified models.....
i will certainly do one for model motorvation on there in the very near future as my son posted a couple of videos of my models about a year ago and i have had quite a few emails from viewers on youtube

 

if they got a tools and garage equipment section i,m sure theres enough intrest for a model section 108 pages this topic
p.m stu
after seeing this thread and following it i now myself am looking at 1/18 models
so thanks lads my wallet is going to be taking a spanking
p.s keep up the good work

 

ive had to strip down my blue mk1 now the bloke in malta wanted a new chassie, front window and new decals or his money bk oh well it wasn't the best spray job but not too bad lol

 

jewel violet was that the colour they use on the monte carlo special edition??

 

agreed and the same i also go on www.diecastxchange.com

 

yep agree , they are some i tried but u got it spot on.

 

colin ,
did he supply pictures of the model damaged?
sounds like he wants to get another one finished with the parts he's after....
also he can only get his money back if he returns it to you.
to do this he has to pay the postage as this is paypals policy for returns.
you are also not responsible for damage caused in transit he should be making a claim through paypal for his money or the courier firm that transported it.

 

its not the wallet u need to worry about but the misis
1/18 scale are large and they take up alot of room. my loft has more models in than my cabinet, i need to build a extension just so i can squeeze in another one lol!!!!

 

yeah he did send me the pics, the box wasn't damaged it came off the screws and flew around in the box

 

id think so! the last thread clocked over 100 pages too (that one took about 2 year from start to finish, this ones only been about a few month)

ive got half a dozen under my bed and in the garage lol
just finished sticking some new shelves up today! not the prettiest set up but im limited on space etc

cars are all spaced out at the mo, got room for another 8 id think

 

i might be able to get my hand on a lmited number of these jags and police escorts if anyones interested theres no release date but if any ones interested i might beable to order some from a wholesaler i deal with now and again so i would pass on the discounts on the models there would be postage charges unless you pick them up from me let me know as they are lts editions

i have a pair there still grey but the need glueing back to geter back rests to squab the pins have snapped but there repairable
nice set up mate

 

Will you let me know a price on a mk2 jag please.

Am intrested in the seats mate. Bleeding postmans still not brought that roof or a model am waiting for.

 

looks nice pete,,

 

got the gti rims m8, they came quick!! bloody royail mail are so unpredictable sometimes they are spot on!!
wont do anything with them till weekend as busy working.
