I once converted a tamiya mini into an almost replica of my brothers class 1 championship winning grasstracker.... Loads of fun

Nice if somewhat challenging styling.
Had a turbo version back in the day which was a hoot to drive but had a strange fault.
At the time my girlfriend was, how to put it politely, of a statuesque build and every time she sat in the passenger seat the car went into limp mode. The Engine Control Module was bolted there and with the thin seat squats every time we went over a bump the wiring loom detached - she didn't stay around too long.
Looking forward to the build.

only pulsar i had was the nissan sunny pulsar GTIR
Yum yum! I always fancied one of those.
Pretty much rust buckets. Mines wasn't bad but had the usual front panel and arch rust
OK ..... I was awaiting this stuff coming through .....
A selection of static grasses in different guises .....
and one of these bad boys for applying it. I have a minature version of this which is meant for detailing etc but it would probably take a life time doing bigger area's so bit the bullet.
and .... I said elsewhere on another post that I would not be buying more plaster cast lintel / cill moulds ......
but I would rather take the financial hit that the extra time hit due to being limited to One of each mould .....
and another .....
and another ....
and the last one ....... for now .
cheers for now.

Yes please Toto, think I have built the Jagpanther years ago .
That's a great flock tool, just remember to hold the end well away from yourself, it will give a nasty jolt
Mr Race has a reputation of old, for pyromania and an in depth knowledge of the conductive power of electricity - well known to Matron
and he has a ward of his own - well away from other inmates

Just a few new bits courtesy of our very own SMS (Thanx John), plus couple of other bits.
Sanding blocks, micro brushes, a ww2 German comms kit set, some Green Stuff putty, and a few different strings, 0.5mm, 1mm and 2mm to use as radio wires, rope, thin sanding sticks, etc....

I visited mumsies today ( another heart scare ) and while I was up looked in her shed as I had stored umpteen storage boxes in there from when I demolished my previous two old sheds to be replaced by my current mancave.
I still have two boxes of stuff to go through but periodically remove a bit more at a time.
Today in my search for various potentially useful materials, I came across some copper and brass sheets and various sizes of brass sections etc.
Forgot to take photo's but will add later at some point. I don't have a plan for this lot yet but I'm sure they will come in handy for something ....... whilst suitably armed with a soldering iron.

I was similar when my mum was alive. When she died it was just a rush to empty the house so a lot of my modelling stuff and electronic components just went to the tip.
