Considering that the figure you just did is awesome, the reason I'm asking is because I need to paint a half naked lady in her bikini at some point, and I can't paint figures to save my life to be honest Is Britmodeller ready for a badly painted half naked lady? In her bikini? It might be the straw that breaks the camels back... 🤣 Matt (Dave) For reference purposes only maybe you could post some photos of half naked ladies so we can decide which one would be best. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If y’all are wondering why I stopped the S02 build, it’s because I wasn’t happy with the Tamiya feifel hoses, at the back. Whatever I tried, heat, super glue, brand new blade, I couldn’t get the ends to not fray. Then I looked at the wheels and thought… “Not today, Pig… Not today…” But, a plan of action has been decided upon. This plan includes a closed box, a little tape, and a certain shelf. 🤔 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it work out cheaper that way Steve, to bulk order them or handier on the postage etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I haven't added it up, the main reason is it makes it worthwhile them sending the order if I get 8-10 sets at a time. But I have to say they do need some clean-up to get them on par with Masterclub, but what masterclub lacks is the sheer size of Fruils catalogue of different vehicles they make tracks for (they are increasing their fitment list though) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
