1/18 modified models
Here it is bonnet glued down because the engine wont fit because the wheels r 2 wide plus if the engine did fit the wheels would be showing anyway when the bonnet would be lifted lol but there is a tvr engine in the back but cause the boot dont open u cant really see it. I put a strip across the bonnet so some fast car mags could slide in for shows they are the rat 1s to lol. the rust look is some tin paint gone hard also made roof rack out of loly pop sticks lol.










good job
Hi everyone! sorry iv not been on much the past few months(about 100 new pages since i was on before!), iv not done much work on any of my 1/18 models, only stuff iv done is taken the 4 spoke alloys from the 1/43 orange corgi capri & fitted them on the caspian blue capri, it looks the beez kneez now
i bought a 1/43 corgi xr3 police car too, iv really been thinking about taking T-cut to the police colours & have it as a normal white xr3 but the problem is the roof light hole, hmmm. iv been building some airfix models, ones nearly finished(1/200 Qantas 747-400) im in the middle of building two 1/144 airfix 747's & not started the 1/144 revell 747 with interior yet, been using the car spray paint on the planes, gr8 result's!
Good news, i might be able to move back into my other flat very soon, so i'll be uploading a few pics of my lovely orange 1/18 camper with purple interior, my 1/18 herby, few 1/43 right hand drive converted vauxhall novas, 1/43 black xr2i/rs turbo & a few others when im back in.
there's a few cars & bits im after, but not in a rush for, they're a 1/18 UT mk5 escort in any colour(preferred choice is red), 1/18 sunstar mk3 escort in yellow(pricks at modelenium haven't done anything about the one i ordered in january, or contacted me to say its out of stock
), also could do with a set of standard original 1/18 four spoke alloys from a capri(the ones from the mk1 model).
i might post a couple pic's of my 1/43 blue corgi capri with the 4 spokes later, it looks sexy!

can not believe you want to part with the scooby mate


if i had the room for it , it would be on its way to me now!
just saw this lol, ill be doing some finishing bits to the light blue scooby on the interior, numberplates, headlights etc then ill be cracking on with the XR4i which will be sold once done
haha its the dark blue one i did a while back not the recent one, its just a little bit rough in places cause it wasnt the best condition model to start with
i dont want much for it though, just enough to buy a nice shiny new silver one lol

i did these yesterday night i forgot! i did the decals for these wheels in photoshop just to finish them off and Dave printed them off for me, make a huge difference imo.

The wheels are OZ Futuras, so i made the centercap as close as i can
( pic ; http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/100_0279.JPG )
probably keep them for another lexus project im waiting to start
also, painted up and put the BBS centercap decals on my LMS then fitted them to my R33..


R33's are my favorite car, so doing this one how id have mine in 1/1 - subtle, just want an exhaust and some subtle carbon parts on it. maybe work out how to lower the front end a tiny bit, but its fine for now, took me ages to work out how to leave the wheels rolling & steering!

id imagine it should be straight forward for the engine mate, just test fit it and trim anywhere it fouls, bit of superglue once its fitted
steve does sierra engine blocks though, look miles better than the escos ones and will be easier to fit, just means building it and painting it

like dave says but once you get the front wheels out on the steering bar you can pull them off the spindle bit,you mit need to put this back on so you can fix the new wheels,they are fixed on just like suntar mk2 escorts but be careful when doing it
was only kidding mate lol.i kno you want it that why i said lol
i like it to much,i could sell it tho as ive got 2 people on ebay wanting me to build s2 for them,i may do it but the front bumper is the prob,take to long to get right.
