I love flicking through this thread, makes me tempted to get a mk3 cab and get the milliput out. Quality work done guys, i'm envious

I have decided I really want a set the same as above to go in my cabinet

 

someone must have some they could sell

 

I have re-read my post and im now thinking i should of worded it different,oh hell i think im going to come in for some stick here,just wait till petey and escortnutter see's it

 

dont worry babs it happens to the best of us

 

hi can someone help me, well the black and gold escort cosworth is it made out of plastic its a racing 1 i think and the gold is really shinny

 

yeah theyre plastic mate

 

Cheers mate i want to buy 1 so i can cut the body kit off then make it fit strait onto the mk3 escort with out cutting it about then im going the make some out of resin and maybe sell some its just a thought???
Im glad its plastic it makes it a hell of a lot better working on that then metal would take ages to try and make it fit using metal cheers again mate.

 

good idea that

 

Cheers mate

 

It's alright once it's up it's getting it to stay up

 

how easy is it to use filler for moulding bumpers?

 

i use filler, its a pain in the arse really, got to put quite alot o then spend ages sanding back, does the job good enough though

 

IMO, very easy, put it on, wait for it 2 dry, sand it smooth, if ur not happy contine until you are

 

oh right!

'coz i havn't got a rear bumper on my bmw and i want to get it finished and was thinking of using filler to finish it, would it stick though as the lower half of the rear bumper has been removed?

 

it should stick yes, i have been doing a body kit straight onto the side of a shell and has took to it well

 

got the comps looking perfect on the sierra mate .will have to sort some decals for them .
dont even need to paint them white the finish is sublime if i may say so myself.....pmsl.
with regards to keeping it up , i personally have never had this problem but maybe you should invest in a bedroom dremmel like long dog!!!!! fpmsl
to keep the jack up on the other hand , lift it to the raised position then put the handle all the way forward and place a tiny piece of folded paper in between the pin on the jack and the lift bar on the bottom of the handle.
this is how i keep my CAR jack raised

 

Cheers for the comment on the comps just shows what top quality your gear is il'l try that trick for the jack,as for the dremmel il'l have to ask long dog

 

so thats 2 dremmel attachments i need to make now!! lol.
mine seems to stay up by itself pmsl..

 

only because your constantly playing with it as opposed to using it.....roflmao

 

the snap on diorama will finish that shelf of mate.

 

how is the beemer coming on mate?
filler should be ok to use mate , if not that i use liquid metal ,its harder to work with but gives a good finish and adds some weight to the model too.

 

just won this

does anyone know a site that might sell spare mirrors and windows for 1/18 scale cars

 

what parts you after ?

 

Ok cheers

 

hi mate bit of a long shot i know but i have 2 models which ive just dug up from a few years ago 1 is a white 3 door and the other a dark blue escort cosworth i think theyre 1/18 scale, anyway both the mirrors on both cars are broken off and lost also the escos windscreen is cracked. seems a shame to waste them as paintwork is unscratched so i was wondering if any of the modellers on here might have the parts i need to fix them up. not bothered about colour

 

windows im not sure of but mirrors
escortnutter or mentalist dave may be able to help try droiping them a pm

I don't know who is worse out of the pair of us,you find something & i end up buying,i find something & you end up buying they are nice models those BMW's & so ripe to be slammed on a nice set of rims
