did some more in the boot of the bm today and started on the interior pics up soon

 

i keep getting brought cream eggs but as i dont eat them straight away the misses does instead

 

Last Easter I ended up with 102 cream egg's.
2 boxes of 48 and a box of 6.

 

haha

 

amazing how realistic they look, really makes you wanna get into the yank stuff too lol

spent just over an hour masking up the window seals, underbonnet insulation, hinges and the adjustable spoiler fin on the skyline and painted them flat black.

love the colour now, the black breaks it up nicely. ill polish it tommorow and start doing the interior and engine

 

new boot layout fitted chrome gearknob, handbrake and fire extinguisher fitted speakers to door panels fitted revcounter to dashboard

 

lovin the color mate what color is it?

 

that's what makes a good modded model the FINE DETAIL

 

After 3 weeks and sending some Hover bags back! I have my cutting mat.
Some seller's really are bobbins.

 

I bought a 1/24 Jada Mustang of eBay about a month ago. You would expect it an a little box or loads of bubble wrap and a jiffy bag. Not this seller, this is how it arrived.



I have riped off the address label but you can see where it was.

The car is on clear view to everybody. Amazingly, it wasnt even damaged. Did mention in their feedback that their packageing was poor.

 

ive had stuff arrive like that its amazing they dont get damaged

 

No fucking way!! I'd never send any thing like that, lol

 

I wouldnt either but its shocking that some people do

 

Christ, ive sent stuff bubble wrapped and in boxes before and its ended up damaged - how did that survive! lol

 

What do you lot use to make windows? I tryed with a spare windscreen, but it splintered like hell!

 

ive had a few like that, bloody idiots,

 

My model shop have A4 sheets of clear plastic diff thicknesses that you can cut with a pair of scissors, ask your model shop if they have any.

 

Mentalistdave can u show me some of your s2 body kit cant wait to see part of it
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

 

My model shop's not much help.

 

Try places like Staples or craft shops they might have somthing, just a thought.

 

now that just takes the pŁ%s! surely people can't send stuff out like that? realy the post office shouldn't accept items wrapped like that to send them thats just pathetic

 

Shocking,i had a very poorly packaged model arrive last week in bits.
I won this on ebay

Oh well i suppose its a good excuse to get more models to fill it with

 

lol im glad i aint got room for another cabinet or i wld be buying and buying and buying lol

 

that is well bad! now if that had mirrors and aerial they wld of been broken, and like pete ive sent out car wrapped and in a box and still got damaged
i like to keep the boxes the models come in as it helps the value of them and i dont even like it when they just wrap the display box in paper

 

i agree i recieved a model from ebay once wrapped the same way as yours and its was completely broken wheels broken off mirrors broken off windows missing

 

I received my zetec s grille just bubble wrapped like that, god knows how the clips hadn't broken as they're fragile at the best of times!

 

that was lucky coz i recieved myn wrapped the same way and wen it turnd up it was fucked

 

well i havent been on here for awhile now,its good to see pf have a model section.
im not going to put any threads up as ive lost interest building them big time & cant be arsed to go through photobucket to find all the pics as they everywere
ive got fed up with doing them everynight & being on the internet so i fort bollex to it,ive put half of my models away as im just feed up with seeing them everywere i may even fook some off,ill still come visit but not as much,maybe ill carry on with them sometime but we will see
fook me ive started to sound like albo but im a honist user not a robbing cunt!

 

Good to see you back Roy,sorry to hear your losing interest,mind you the amount i have bought the last few weeks im starting to think am i over doing it lol.
If you are looking to reduce your collection let me know and whatever you decide to do keep up the good work

 

dont spose you have a standard mk escort if your selling fella ?

 

Well mate i am gutted u have stopped it all the models u were doing were top mate, and also mate if u are selling any of your models let me know i might be interested. member the rs turbo Ł40 lol lol lol sorry duno if u have looked through the pages or not but ive made 1 myself now. u thinking of selling your sapp? but mate since u haven't been on the thread it doesn't seem very busy. i hope u do get back into it in the future because your models were fucking good and u should be proud of your work mate u r a top bloke mate.

 

When i told 'her indoors' i'd won it all i got was 'wheres that gonna go'

 

shame u feel that way roy as u have made some cracking models in the past and gutted we wont see the likes of the saph finished!!
i know how u feel though i have felt like chucking all my models out the bleeding window some times as the bug seems to take over all your spare time!!

 

well iam decorating thew hallway this week and hoping to get a wall mounted cabinet,just trying to get round misis but i think its working as i started decorating it 6 months ago so she is welll pleased its now getting done lol!!

 

dave ! will send money over tomorrow night bud

 

Sounds like me and my bikes, needed a break form working on the dam things.

 

you will never sound like that mate , you have far too good a talent
sad day mate as the forum is losing in my opinion the best 1/18 scale model builder by a mile.
from the days when i first started reading the threads long before i signed up your models have always stood out from anything else
hope you soon get back to it as it will be a shame to waste your talent although i am sure what ever you do it will be as good if not better than what you do with your spare time.
i know exactly how you feel as i have them feelings on a daily basis now days but carry on as i get motivated by everyone else on here.
make sure you drop in from time to time.

 

petey , as i recieved something totaly unique from you this week which has already nearly been nicked 5 times i thought i would return the favor
i have made these total one off 2 piece split rims for you .
as requested NOT deep dish but fu**ing awsome none the less.
will be in the post tomorrow with your other bits.
thanks again mate.

 

This is my other hobby, Put way to much time and money in to it.
And the dam things bust agen. The only pick I can finds got puppy in it. lol

This was before new brake's, a dmr chain device, new bar's and some carbon bit's.
