Yup,thats it all,the square roof lights need paint too. Get chassis cover from hunter systems while theyv got them,n have look atansmann spot lights on fusion under genera body accesories,their much better n real spots should you choose to fit light kit in furure

[alfagta]

Could. Anyone help me out with my previous questions to mr.crispy? Thnks

hi,

i have one of mr crispy's templates , pm me and i will post it to you

[mr crispy]

Yep, spot lights, roof and fuel cans. If you're not liking the body cover try getting some vinyl sheet from eBay. Comes in all sorts of colours so you can try to do the whole car or just cut out your own panels of colour.

Radley, give me a chance to reply mate Last time I tried to email the template my scanner refused to talk to my laptop. I'll see if its in a better mood when I can but if you're in the UK I can stick a photo copy in the post for you no problem.

Edit: Just seen your post alfagta. Did you get around to making the cover up?

Radley, I think you should give us some time to reply to your questions. Would you also please refrain from posting multiple replys in a very short period of time? If there's anything you forgot to add to your post (and nobody has replied since then), you are free to use the "edit" button. This function is also useful for straightening out grammar or spelling errors (I'm not claiming to be perfect in this matter by myself). Many thanks and have a good time on TC!

[mr crispy]

"Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry..." ah badword I'm a grumpy old Englishman, I'm always angry

No probs Radley but I'll have to post the cover template to you old skool. PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post, that is unless alfa beat me to it

Vinyl sheet is what decals are printed on and usually comes self adhesive, you just need to remove the backing. The stuff I've bought off eBay was a little thicker than Tamiya stock but stuck down well and if you heat them up with a hair dryer once I place, it helps them to follow the contours on the body. I generally do this with all my decals now as it improves the finished look.

Edit: Oh come on filter, I'm not allowed to use the word h e l l?

[radley]

Hello mr crispy,ive p messged you my address,hope you got it

Sorry Radley but I can't find the template anywhere mate, been checking all my usual hidy holes but no luck. We had a major sort out recently so it's been filed away somewhere safe, as soon as I find it I'll put it in the post to you.

Its been a while since i was last on the forum,and i was quite vocal about the Holiday Buggy being an unwelcome twist in the re-re chain.

But fate is a unusaul mistress and i ended up getting a Holiday Buggy DT02 from of all places Modelzone.

 

I went in a good few weeks AFTER the mega deals on black pumpkins,violet racers and XB Blackfeet? 3's and the little buggy was sat on the shelve at £40? turned out it was the last one,the display model, and i was promptly offered 10% off! it has been painted very well even the driver had that creased/brown wash effect on his arms and only required a strip to grease the gearbox etc.

I hadnt even seen the Holday buggy listed on the Modelzone web site?

 

I ve had a go at trying to vintage-ise a Super Fighter G in the past so i havnt even attempted to chop parts to narrow its stance,but me and my 4yr old nephew had a blast running it with its 380 motor in the park and im converted to its wide boy look and even LOVE the pogo stick dampers!

the 380 speed is perfect to allow you to watch the suspension following the ground with a kinda realistic bounce.

its a buggy that really grows on you for simple driving fun.
