If you do not mind a little bit of constructive critisism..the rear portion of your vans tend to go upwards rather than following the flat roof line ! , and your models do not have any panel lines on the side panels, the mesh on the grills is way off scale as well , Dont get me wrong i am not knocking your modelling skills , but if you want top dollar for a model that you are selling.. it has to be right 100%..

His models are very good and he tries his best at them the side panel lines are very hard to do and the grill is fine its a modded grill my mate has it on his real car and ive seen it on other cars to.

Ok on that van the back does go up a little but it is very hard to get it just right on this scale and if u look at his other vans the back is fine. Its just the black 1 and the yellow 1 i think it looks good.

my 1/16th scale tank..

my 1/32 scale tug wheelhouse , scratch bulit..


1/18th is a huge scale to model in ....detail should be paramount....what i'm saying is you have to pay attention to detail... you are replicating 1/1 scale in 1/18th...make it real and true to scale ..

Ok that is good but come on his vans are good.
u try and build a escort van then put some pics up of it on here when its finished u will see how hard it is to put them side pannel lines on.
Plus on some of his vans the back doors open so maybe he has to have the back go upwards.

my point being , by posting the pics of my models...1/18th is a huge scale..there is no excuse for lack of detail .....

Sierra looks awesome not sure about the rear wheels though,might scrub the inner arches unless you've narrowed the axle !

I am always open to constructive crits but i though this site was for modders to be treated as one happy family and not the odd TWAT mocking others work. Firstly i have only just started out doing this and secondly i dont know if you are aware but i only have one hand as i lost the other in an accident so lets see your chopped models MR escortoldskool Especially the ones you have produced with ONE HAND!!!!!
