What are you using for the cabling and clips, it drapes very convincingly helped no end by you skill in fixing it 🤙

As soon as the shop has paid and printed the RM delivery note it will have a tracking number on it, that's how it works when I do RM click and drop, which is basically what the shop is doing. If I check the tracking number it won't show anything, once I have taken it to the delivery office and they scan it, it will then say '' we have your parcel in our system''. Then you can follow from there. It saying despatched seems to mean a delivery note has been made, it could well be in the shop a day or two before collection

Well X20A thins their XF/X paints ok, and according to the make up it's the same thing. Try mixing XF/X Tamiya paints with water and see what happens, but their fine with X20A thinners

It seems to be the same as their XF/X paints which are synthetic acrylic lacquers, so their lacquer thinner or Mr Hobby Levelling thinner or even Tamiya X-20A

Aren't the arrows for Part B20 pointing to the engine block anyway and not where your red dots are

Have you tried giving it a really good stir as well as a shake to make sure the paint hasn't settled in the jar. Or thinning it some

Looks really good, I think the oil canning will look good after painting, the shine from the plastic seems to over emphasize the effect, only place I would worry in is around the rear engine to wing, looked a little over done there, but again I'm going by reflection from the bright light and the glossy plastic

And drop in price after a few months with the bigger retailers wanting to clear their stocks 😂

Well it will probably just get bigger so long as they sell, It matches 1/35 Armour and takes up less space than 1/32 kits. We're just stuck in the 'it doesn't match my 1/32 kits I have', true but who really cares about that in the end. Unless your lucky to have the shelf space to display loads of 1/32 scale together, and in that case you'd have the room to display a lot of 1/35 together too 😉🙂

But Border carry on with their 1/35 aircraft so they must be selling them to someone

Looks good

First attempt at a diorama and really enjoyed it, doing the buildings etc was more enjoyable than the kit, nothing wrong with the kit just normal MiniArt over complicating things 😀, Will definitely be doing some more Photos taken with my phone as my camera is playing up

But Lego F1 really are toys in that they may bear a resemblance to the real thing but lets be honest their not a scale model of the real thing are they imho

Heart breaking news, condolences to his family and friends

Trouble is unless you can seal the joints, the moveable ones, the enamel can still seep into them and that's when you get problems. Safest way is to avoid enamels
