  1. Just had the same text today, straight into the junk mail box
  2. I think Brigade have a stand at Telford this year, so If you're going you could see it in the flesh before buying.
  3. I bought one last week and i have to say I was a little disappointed. For 70 quid there is not much to the kit, the casting is great but the main resin fuselage plug has to be modified. There is an additional page to the instructions showing how the aft cockpit surround requires modifying. Why do I need to modify the resin before I install it? Also there is no parts or info for modifying the wings, some or all of the guns need to be deleted depending on which version you build, you need do all that yourself. Overall, for the money it should have been better.
  4. If you are looking for printable cars then you might have a look at this guy: https://www.cgtrader.com/designers/Andrey-Bezrodny I've bought a few of his cars and they print really well. He has a ton of American cars and each is scaled to whichever scale you choose. I've printed an Aston Martin Valour in 24th and it looks pretty good.
  5. I have a feeling that this is another Hiro kit that's going to end up in my stash. Love the Peugeot, love Hiro kits.
  6. Today in Tesco I saw the shopper I would get (if I had 65k spare) Alpine A110
  7. A stunning model Jörgen, really inspiring build. I love the Alpine and I have the means to print my own copy so I may have to invest in the same .STL And just today I saw this in the local Tesco car park, if only I had 65k to spaff on a car.
  8. I have soldered a number of white metal kits, but I use a low melt solder with a low temp soldering iron. It makes for a really strong joint and can be disassembled if required. Also the solder can be used as filler if necessary.
  9. Absolutely beautiful build of a stunning car. French elegance at its best. I have a few of the Provence Facels and I hope I can get a simliar result from them.
  10. Use Humbrol Clearfix. Dip a cocktail stick in the clearfix to get a drop on the end, touch the drop inside the window opening and move it around a bit until surface tension creates a film across the window opening. Withdraw the cocktail stick and allow the clearfix to dry. Repeat for every window.
  11. I found this online tool for rescaling: https://www.scalemodelersworld.com/online-scale-converter-tool.html It's really helpful if like me, you hate maths. I just plug the result into the transform tool of Meshmixer to rescale.
  12. Yup. Looking forward to it.
  13. I wonder if the McLaren M23 is the one he put in the barriers at Silverstone.
