Looks like time for a test run :-)

Well i fitted the engine with no real problems. These cars are 100% better if you forget about the screws they include as fixings and get your glue pot out.... but still, dont be tempted to use MIG type washes or the plastic will just crack and fall to bits 24Hr later :-) Next task, try and...

Thanks for the update Rick and welcome aboard.

Airfix magazine could run at a dead loss and still be profitable in its advertising capacity for Airfix.

no it was a real "i wonder"

bought a pair of these which arrived today and they are remarkably good. These are parallel pliers so the jaws stay parallel as they close. On inspection they are pretty much spot on with no slack although i doubt that will last long however before i spent serious money i wanted to just prove...

Anyone ever wondered why easter bunnies are associated with eggs ?

67 years old today, not sure what significance that has to Easter Monday but hey :) 4 weeks ago today i gave up with the news. I dont watch it, listen to it or read it anymore. Its not easy as its every where but i dont have a news paper, i only watch streaming TV and if i listen to the Radio i...

Over here Nick Park started out doing adverts for British Gas on TV in a series called creature comforts. ..usually the animal speaking was not the star, it was the ones in the background. its come a long way since them

I was surprised to see you have Wallace and Gromet over there in your far off lands, i thought he was just a very daft British thing :)

Its very difficult to see where the place in the market is now for magazines. A forum like this where you can interact with the "publishers" of each "article" is at a huge advantage. And......remember for every pound you save on a magazine , there is always a tip jar :-) web sites with no...

Wonderful bit of work John and it looks like you had great fun doing it which is what its all about. Alas i cant do figures so its great to see those that can turn out such brilliant work.. all this while winning model of the month with his Tiger 1 on Modellers social club as well :-)

Thanks for the input. The sharpie thing would be worth exploring. I think as i have only done this twice and i was winging it, i would improve greatly with another couple of attempts given this firewall is 10x better than the dashboard :) its hard to align things because while you are producing...

Well i scrapped the first attempt but i got away with the second i think :-) i used a wire brush this time and some thicker alloy sheet i put a tube over the wire brush with just 1mm protruding to stop the wires spreading, its still not right, i must have lost count of the turns on the table...

Beautiful build , very well done :)

The bulk head or firewall on this car was wood I finished it using high quality artists oils, similar to the great masters, Michael Angelo , Turner and Constable. but it doesnt really fit in with Bling so i have covered it in hi tech pure aluminium alloy extruded and rolled sheet...

A couple of updates The wheels i bought were a set of five for the Bentley but Mephistopheles only had four so i have mounted the spare on the back :) Dashboard looks good after i gave it a coat of semi gloss clear which a has toned the whole effect down a bit

WARNING....Reader are advised to wear dark glasses. I cant do anymore wiring ir plumbing now till its in the car.
