make a box out of milliput and paint it black with the polished pipe on simples will look a damn sight better than them 1's that con man bmw nut makes mate plus self satisfaction you built them yourself that way you can decide box size style and bick were the pipe comes out of the box what angle it comes out and everything im gonna make a load and to my friends on here they are free but gonna sell some on ebay too cheap just to give people the chance to get them without being robbed plus gives me something to do

wow ,
not been on for a while as work is mental at the moment.
there's been a fair bit of bitching going on...lol
i rarely list any fords on ebay as most of mine have a personal value to me.
although when i do they do seem to go for what i would call good money , not in the same league as some sellers on ebay but enough for me!
the biggest sale i have had was the mk1 escort estate which went for a lot more than i thought it would and i also got an order for another 4 from the german buyer.
i do believe listing worldwide increases the earning potential for any modded models but also has drawbacks.
with regards to streetfighters models i think it is a combination of very good photography on his part , in fairness probably the best on the bay at the moment , good attention to detail , quantity he can list at anyone time and the ability to list similar models to others listed and as he says hard to find rare models to start with .
which you seem to have a never ending stream of i say jelously!!!
few modders will have the guts to modify a model which has already cost them in the region of Ł50.00 to buy
he has also been doing them for a long time and has a good repeat customer base.
what is the first thing we all check before bidding on anything?
FEEDBACK!
his is in the thousands and that is why people buy his models.
most of us tend to give up too easily if the model does not sell for what we think it should and dont list anymore , this is where we all go wrong.
any model is only worth what a buyer is prepared to pay for it.
there is now an ever increasing amount of stuff available to buy for modding on the bay , and it is getting easy to find stuff that we couldnt before at good prices.
i think the models on this site are truely all unique in there own way and as mentalist dave said they are all original in there own right.
i will always offer help to anyone if i can and often do to people on here.
decal wise i like others produce my own , and quality is important .
decal dynamics on here produce manufacturer quality decals that are far superiour to any i can do but mine cost me nothing....lol.
keep up the good work everyone and keep the pics comming.

aye alan its there dont worry lol

heres the scooby, im over the moon with it, ive never had a decent make rally/racing car before so its amazing, especially compared to the bburago version of the same car i used to have (which i thought was mint when i had it lol )



even the doorcards and parcel shelf are carbon but i couldnt get a decent pic



brakes are my favorite bit lol..



only thing i dont like about it is the headlights but Autoart seem to have trouble with them on a lot of cars so i can live with it lol

yeah theyre okay but theyre just one bit of chrome moulded plastic, i think ill take them out and get some flat silver or grey paint on the housing just to make them look a bit better. the headlights on AA R34's are crap too i think, the 22b wrc's are mint ive seen a few high res pics of them
