The Mount Hotel Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England
WW-nut replied to Swarm's topic in Anything not RC related goes here
Stu, do you have tickets to see any of the games? I ask as you might be comparing distance between Wolverhampton to London based on the scale of Australia which I guess you would consider near to each other, but there's a lot of better locations to stay at if you're planning to travel to London. Travelling between Wolverhampton and London every day would become a bit tiresome. -
Before anyone asks it wasn't me, but expect everyone appreciates how thoughtful that was to check emails/passwords against Paypal. Though I am surprised that any member of Tamiyaclub takes the hacking of our site as a good thing.

Hi Stu, Take a look at www.tripadvisor.co.uk http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-...ds_England.html -
For sale threads.. time for a change
WW-nut replied to qatmix's topic in Tamiyaclub Rules and Site Usage
Totally agree. I just ignore all for sale posts without a price, don't even bother contacting the seller regarding negotiating a price as I'm sure they're expecting more than it's worth. This might not be the case, though am sure items with a price sell quicker and easier than those without. So sellers just remember that when you next list an item up for sale. Just think of what the world would be like without prices, shopping in Tescos would be a nightmare. -

Thanks, had missed this article on Tamiyablog.com So is the Tamiya VW Wheelie the only kit which the artwork is signed by the artist, making it unique??????
-
Last week I got a Tamiya VW Wheelie and noticed that the artwork on the front of the box is signed -> http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...4&sid=19158 I can't remember seeing any other box artwork signed before so just wondered what other kit artwork is signed? And anybody know anything with regards who this artist is??
-
This one --> http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...449&hl=wd40 ??? Alternatively there's some new front tyres on Ebay, just search "Tamiya 44021".
-
Just watched your video, am liking the lights. Nice work. Though am feeling a bit sad, does this mean you've now finished your Wheeler, as I've been enjoying the updates.
-
Does it really matter, surely there's more to life to worry about rather than how people pronounce Tamiya. Wouldn't lose sleep over it myself. Just think England is a small place, but there's more than one way to say the word "bath" or "grass". If the person you are communicating with understands............... well hopefully you get my gist
-
Thanks for the extra pics - looks like you'll will need a ladder to get into it
-
That's looking great - what about adding a photo with a person standing next to it so we can see the scale. Keep it up fellas, once finished that's going to be an amazing looking jeep
-
Looking forward to seeing a video with the body shell on.......
-
I so want to like it, but looking at the photos on Tamiyablog.com the scaffolding to hold the Willy driver figure in position just looks such an afterthought.

Durga = £208 http://www.fusionhobbies.com/Tamiya-Durga-DB01-p/ta58395.htm Leonis = £295 http://www.fusionhobbies.com/Tamiya-Leonis...2-p/ta58507.htm So what do you actually get for that £87? To me it just seems an overcomplicated shaft+gear drivetrain. Nah, think I'll stick with belts in a DB01.
-
Had completely forgotten about this project. Glad you're now going to finish it, go and lock yourself in a shed and get it done!!!!
-
I've got 6 Willy's Wheelers and all have the standard white plastic part, not seen this before so I am also interested to find out more.
-
What's it look like in the car?
-
Are you talking US dollars, if so that's just over £500. Crikey! So if you take off the body set, he's asking £350 for that chassis which I wouldn't pay more than £100 for. And even from that photo I can see it's missing too many things. Last year I saw a couple of NIB's sold for $800 so if you have the money I'd give it a miss and wait. He's probably valueing it on a recent USA Wheeler Ebay sale which went for £500, which I thought was extremely expensive and it was in much, much better condition.
-
An original vintage boxed Willy's Wheeler body set usually sells for around £150+, with regards the chassis hard to put a figure on it without seeing it. Also it's usually quite hard to determine as the few that have sold, over the last few years on Ebay, have gone for such a large variety of prices. How much does he want for the Wheeler?
-
So will you be cutting some eyes into the helmet so someone can wear it whilst driving the Wild Willy or is it to attach to a mannequin?

willys wheeler tire and wheels size
WW-nut replied to volkstony's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
The Voltec wheels fit on to a Wild Willy 2 chassis which has been converted into a Willy's Wheeler, but unfortunately not an original Wheeler chassis. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...36&id=10679 -
I was wondering that the other day. Are they all built, nobody selling as lack of apparent demand???? Here's the thread when the re-release Boomerang was first announced --> http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...mp;hl=boomerang
