Also had a thought for the model motivation guys!

Can you cast some mk2 escort mirrors as one piece solids as they seem to be very prone to breaking (Or maybe iam to ham fisted lol) Oh and revoloution alloys as there proper old skool

And bucket seats and 3 door recaros roll tops would be ace too
thanks for the input mate , i agree on the mk2 mirrors so will get some done.
revolutions will be ready in a few days.
seats are not a problem either so will get some different ones moulded.
keep the fresh idea's comming as we cant think of everything , and most of the suggestions made already will be works in motion

Talking of mirrors i reckon the mirrors from a minichamp sierra touring car would go well on a road 3dr

looks nice that dave

what way do you draw up decals mate? are they okay in high res JPG's or do you prefer vector format?
reason im asking is ive got a food few i want doing, will be easier to do them myself in Ps and just get you to print them
also how should i get them the right size so they print right? i can resize them in MM but i dunno how it affects quality?
PM me if you like

ive been watchinbg a set of these and been thinkng about getting a set for the last month, but they work out pricey and not sure what tyres will fit if any when the arrive, would be worth a gamble as i can always make a resin set fromthem.

they used to do a 1/18 r/c car but they no longer sell them so there is only a few sets of wheels left about. watch out for wheels with foam tyres as they usually come glued on and are a bitch to get the foam off rim..
some wheels also come up on the large side!!
