I know what an escort van looks like but could you do anything as near as this, more than likely not but hey im not too bothered with your comments as the majority of people do apprecaite what i do even if my models are not quite to your taste and im not looking for top dollar. I joined this site to try and get some constructive crits. but i suppose you are always going to get the odd idiot that is either jealous or just plain rude. "what category do you come into"

phill i think the vans look great mate and with every new one you do they get more and more detailed .
there is a market out there for these types of modded models as your mk2 escort van proves on ebay at the moment .
i think the yellow mk5 escort van you have done is one of the best i have seen to date.
i have said this before ANY model is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
some sell better than others , thats just how it is .
there's a couple of modders on here who's work would sell for a fortune if listed on ebay .
but they choose to build them for there own collection which i think is very rare these days as most are just out to make money on what they build.
i say keep going with them mate , take all praise and criticism on board and use it.

i think you should list the yellow mk5 van on the bay mate
open auction , see what it goes for .
i think you will be supprised at what it sells for and dont think it would be a lot less then your asking price tbh.
i think a lot of the buy it now prices put people off when you start getting into treble figures as they are not sure if its worth that amount , but they normally reach it anyway.

Hi steve i think you got a real way with words. Your like the daddy on here and everyone looks to you for excellent advice including me.Just annoys me sometimes when you try so hard to build something and get hit for a six with negative comments. i will take it on board and now hey guess what im more determined now to create a build that i may get praise for WATCH THIS SPACE lol

im going to have a go at making a 22b spoiler when i start work on my type r, if it turns out well ill send you it


PJvanman i think what escortoldskool originally said was meant purely as constructive criticism, and it just got out of hand. your models are very well done, the finished product is excellent compared to some models you see (including your first few) however he was just pointing out that a little extra detail goes a long way although i do think stfordlover was pretty rude, he could have got his point across easily without coming across as a bit of a twat..

constructive criticism should be a positive thing but there is no need to be rude. people point out things to me and it does help me improve on next project.

guys the way i feel about this is some of us mod for profit some for fun if you make a model and you like it dosent mean every one else will as long as you are happy with it be happy. as soon as you mod for profit as i and a few others do on here. people are very critical of the detail of models and if it diden,t have a bit here and did have a bit there people will be quick to tell you so when your asking a lot of money things have to be spot on. if you ask for people thoughts you need to take them on the chin and not start calling names and using bad lanugauge. dont ask if you dont want to know. there is a arse for every seat so some one will love them like you do. keep at it mate they will get better we all had to start some where

your spot on there andy
why would you send a parcel second class anyway , there's almost f**k all difference in the price anyway.
and you guy's paid for the postage .
they should think themselves lucky you guy's are so patient.
if it were me i would have been up there by now.
do they not realise that what ever amount it is, it is hard earned money they have taken , i am sure they would be bothered if it were done to them .
i say keep at it phat c , youre obviously getting the point accross to them now keep it up
