I had to look carefully at the first 2 pictures to spot they were the shame ship , the first picture gives little impression of the curves.

Magnesium corrodes while you look at it. Its banned in the states for things like wheels. It has a shelf life of about 10 years but is structurally compromised by 5 years. Ducati owners used to ring me up and ask about there wheels but i always recommended throwing them away and switching to...

AJS 7R engines were often gold, but some were black. Basically, they were painted to protect the magnesium castings which would corrode very quickly if left open to the air. Its very much like the zinc chromate the US used on their interior alloy panels on Aircraft during he war . It also helped...

I declare you King of the wingnut Wings , by far the best build of the Genre i have seen, 10/10

I had to look up chris craft as its not a name i have heard. I love those classic wooden deck speed boats . Hows this for a model, 33 inch so a bit bigger than yours :)

Well you did ask me if it floated my boat :)

An often found problem with old kits and poorly packed kits This is a 1mm rod and unfortunately the levers each end are also 1mm wide so cant be drilled. The answer is to drill the levers 0.35 and insert a hard steel pin and cut a piece of 1mm alloy tube the same length of the original rod...

What sort of air volume do you need Paul for the Paasche ?

I think the problem for me here is its already painted and presumably the decals are on so having made most of the detail redundant behind the fairing and with no painting to do ......i dont really see the point. I also note over here the non painted version is 1/3 of the price so about £58.00...

I had the full use of one with my motorcycle business but not any more. It had a screw compressor, almost silent and a 3 cubic meter cabinet. To big for my kitchen :-)

I did the other wheel last night, i learned quite a bit which i am sure i will forget in time for the next build 🤣 I dont like the gloss black tires and hard rubber so i will probably slip them off and try paining them with tamiya rubber black ?

Hi Saul its a bit modern for me. these things will do 80mph in first and so many towns now have 20mph limits it actually makes them really hard to ride. As a model i tend to avoid anything thats has a fairing if i can as you can spend a lifetime detailing these things right down to electrical...

No free tickets :-) TBH it would sort of defeat the object as they would collect more than £25 for a ticket anyway and anyone donating would probably rather pay for a ticket anyway.............they did discuss the idea for people donating over £100 but they didnt go ahead with it.

sorry i wasnt fishing for donations, it was just the update that they are going to restore back to zero hours. I donated £25 and i think the code you get is just a confirmation of the order and not actually a ticket. they are just using the ticket purchase facility they have to collect...

The whole world loves dolly, she did something wonderful with here life that benefited everyone. Not like these to slackers who tried to make a living out of selling absolute nonsense to Netflix. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c62eg0ppqyqo

We gave you Prince Harry, in fairness Meghan is one of yours. , loathed and despised by the majority over here, what did we do to deserve this ? they were supplied with no warranty and no returns. From what i can gather Harry is unemployed and Meghan makes pots of jam?, fantastic contributors...

The link to the vice was a con, Typical Chinese nonsense, when you followed it you get the full description of the angle vice with pictures and the cost about about £50 but if you look carefully there is a cheaper vice also advertised and thats what you are buying, not the description on the one...
