Keith, i have two boys here one with Tourettes, the other Autistic, trust me, i know how things work lol, and im only being hard on Neil because i think he has a crush on me, i just dont bat that way, sorry Neil!
Agreed bud, the toothpick method blows, if its a shelfer, and not being run, Tamiya acrylic and a high quality brush would do you proud mate, ive been modelling and painting for over 25 years, so i have experimented a bit!

Crash, aww thanks buddy, it was a bit of a labor of love, took a lot of money and time, but alas, im just not a diehard Kyo fan, id love it to go to somebody who would cherish it, but if not, itll stay on the shelf here.

Bests..... Lee

So I wonder what special project you have lurking Lee!

Your builds are always great to follow and of the highest quality...

Not much Naushad, got my works '91, and pretty much finished on that TRF now, so, looking at some custom stuff for the '91, not looking to spend much on it as its mint, but a spares back up for running would be nice, by custom i mean delrin arms, but i may be adapting some delrin 94 arms, i think i can get some adjustment on those too, should be interesting.
Other than that mate, its all systems go for some studio filming replicas for a show in November, so model cars have to take a little bit of the back seat for a bit.
Speaking of projects, your one to talk, i always log in wondering what crazy vintage classic your elbows deep into
Ill have those repro bumpers for the Yoko buggies soon, just got so many jobs on right now, as well as the home life, its keeerrrazyyy, but I've 28 cut, just need to form and drill....

Price amendment, and if you require any hi res, macro pics of any part of the car, please ask, there is no junk here, just a stunning example of a buggy.

I Just wanted to say a huge thanks Lee, I picked the ol' girl up from Royal Mail today.

Well mate, when you said mint you were not exaggerating! Absolutely faultless and the bits which weren't NIP you can't even tell. I'm a bit envious of the skill involved and patience sourcing parts, but maybe that will come to me with practice.... The shell by Jon is flawless to boot.

Anyway, great stuff, and I'm really pleased. She is already on display, much to the annoyance of the missus - so double result!

All the best
