1/18 modified models
">pjvanman this is what a mk3 ezzie van shud look lyk i was only being honest wiv you same as escortoldskool. the fuel cap in wrongg placse no side qurter window back ligitsare wrong & bodylines. if you made em for your sellf then fine but you are wantin top dollar for em on ebay & they luk lyk my 10 year old did em at skool lol
my splellin is bad but not as bad as yur vans!! lmfao

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"

rspickup, ford rs fan, i filed a complaint with paypal but as it was a personal payment they cant do much BUT if they get more complaints against the same seller they will take immediate action against them! so get on it guys
go on to the paypal payment and start from there
now dont be sillyheres a huge clue
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.

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.
see what i mean , we pick out a model we would like a better pic of and you give us a selection of them to look at 



i want to add some of the cars my mates were driving when i had my mk1 and mk2 escorts , i have already got the manta and r5 turbo , would like to add pug 205 gti and similar but not sure what is available , ow i know your the man to answer that question .....what else is there?
there's only a couple of years difference between us so you will know the cars i would be after.

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
itll be ice blue, doing a WR1 rep, ill be getting you to print some decals out for it shortly

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..

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!!!!!

they do fetch a premium on e-bay get on there site ans sign up for there club its free plus you can reserve them so their under 40 euros plus postage i suspect there will be another colour in the 309 launched it was a really popular model i got 2 but i gave one away as a christmas present to a mate ive known since school he used to ghave a 309 gti and we used it to go to my wedding in (at high speed we were nearly late)

I went to a model fair today to see if they had any 1-18 cars but it was mostly trains and buses. there was one stall and it had this capri Ł35 quid, it was this price because it had a little black plastic bit missing of the back it was boxed to i did think about buying it but i didnt, now i wished i did lol.

how good are these boot hinges

all mod cons



the belly of the beast



dont worry the weapons grade box of milliput is not destined for the r33
and now a daft idea can you guess what it is

alan is online right now and this his the email he uses so get on his case send any message you want i am!!! vickibuysell7@hotmail.co.uk
got a reply from alan's girlfriend vicki and she recons she was with him when he sent them 2nd class. why send them second class and not recorded when you know everyone is on your case!!! aint this what i said last week he wld say they are lost in the post!!!!!!!!!
you cant send parcels 2nd non recorded as far as i remember?
i want a tracking number, ive been pretty patient till now but even im starting to get pissed off.

ive never been allowed to send models 2nd class as they to big, she recons she will take the matter further if i keep on lol i told her to go ahead as the police already know about it in this area!!! this is the last reply i got lol ha ha ha PETTY its 100 QUID FOR GODS SAKE!!!:
you seem really petty about this matter, the models 'were' sent
there is nothing more i can say on the matter.

phat c mate you can only post parcels 2nd class up to 1kg after that it first class or standard parcel!! the only models i can ever get away under 1kg are solido and i cant remember the last time i posted a model second class as there to heavy i post 50/60 a month so there talking crap 

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

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







its definately not
