1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
Well, back to the body..... Did the chrome strip around the body with Alclad Chrome......happy with the look. Trial fitting the bumper. Had to remove the moulded bumper strips as they were too fussy and did a bit of chipping......again, very happy with the look. Next, more rust! Thanks...- Snowman

1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
Hi guys, its been a while and I have been tinkering on the Samba "Sleepah". I have done a bit of pre-rusting paint work on the body. I have been working on the interior, and am currently working on the dash. Just finished plumbing in the "Go Faster" dial - the rest of the decals are still on...- Snowman

1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
I decided that I wanted to build myself a sleeper dragster/hot rod, based on a VW Samba bus after seeing outrageous mods on Netflix and YouTube. Feeling inspired after my Stratos build, I at first decided to go down the route of fitting a 911 engine to the kit, but decided that this was so "old...- Snowman

Lancia Stratos.
This is my first rally car, and arguably one of the sexiest ever designed! I attempted to recreate it in action as depicted in photo’s of the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally. I hope you approve. Thank for looking .:thumb2:- Snowman

Lancia Stratos - 1977 Monte Carlo Rally
Well, its been a while since I have posted any builds, but on the late I have been busy with one of my all time favourite cars, the indomitable Lancia Stratos!! Any way, here is some pics of my WIP. The decals are surprisingly of great quality, and react well with micro set and micro sol. Many a...- Snowman

1959 Alfa Romeo 159 'Alfetta'
I've decided to step away from my 1/35 "Pink Panther" build, which though very rewarding with all the PE work was proving to be a bit too fiddly at the moment. I wanted to do a classic open wheel racer and stumbled on this cheap kit that offered possibilities. No sooner had I bought it, did I...- Snowman

Any tips for decals that don't stick??
Hi Guys, I have tried the normal products like micosol & microset, but the decal just won't stick. The larger decals don't seem to have the same problem. Have ordered another product, Mr Mark from Mr.Hobby in desperation. Do you have any suggestions?- Snowman

Pledge
Just place my order for a bottle. Never used it before, but all I hear is good things and in terms of economy this is serious bang for your buck!! From what I gather it does not require any thining which is nice. Any suggestions on spray pressure for a 0.3mm AB? Much appreciated. Snowman (Gavin)- Snowman

1989 Batmobile
I'm not too sure if the Batmobile belongs here or in the car section, but as the Marvel's Agents of Shield's Battle Bus landed up here, I guess this is the right place. As my buddies on OneTwentyFour got my juices going, I decided to build the 1989 Batmobile :D . I recon this is the epitome...- Snowman

Well, I'm stranded at home because of the rail strike @ Southern Railways, so I have decided to use my time constructively - not only doing DIY! ^_^ I'm calling my Skyline finished, unfortunately I ran into a bit of bother with the decals - a silly mistake, but I don't think that they...- Snowman

Local model club - down south
Haleluja!! I have finally found a modelling club just down the road from me in Horsham! I have wanted to join a club for some time now, but typically they would be too far away to attend any meets after work. Have the rest of you had similar issues or were you fortunate enough to be close...
