displaying cars : what do you do?
HomerJHandley replied to HomerJHandley's topic in General discussions
I am on a 'low' RC level at the moment, not really used them for ages (doesnt help the local park is full of dog waste!) but right behind the times nowadays, still using brushed and nimh batteries! -
displaying cars : what do you do?
HomerJHandley replied to HomerJHandley's topic in General discussions
lol, my collection shrinks and grows ! got 5 actually, but one is a falcon and the other an M02 Eunos, but they no longer get used! but the clod has a body that is knackered, by bush devil is the goto basher so that is also not fit for display and the dual hunter is in pretty good condition but the body i suspect was painted with TS rather than PS paint by the previous owner (i had the same on my bush devil). would live a collection of the classics, the falcon build from new old parts is slow, but have 2 original bodies & decals and 2 sets of the front arms and some small shockers... -
As title, i have 3 cars, all in a 'used', so not really suitable for displaying, but just wondering what other people have and how do they display? IIRC there was someone who had the models built up and stickered up but left the bodies clear so the internals could be seen.. thanks

2 sets of shocks, U and T parts (shock body and spacer/bottom/inside). advertised as falcon, but IIRC they have 2 different lengths, but decent price at £11 delivered as some places are selling just one U part for £6. -
i like the shape (seen the car on MSUK, £130), and yes a driver figure is needed, and seems to have the look of a 90's tamiya, must be the yellow shocks.. I like it, i doubt it will be an iconic model, but i wouldnt say no to it.

Hi All, won some Falcon R parts NIP from canada and it has been over a month (well 1 month and a week) since they were paid, and marked dispached on the 16th, i paid i thin a shade over £30 for 2 NIP R part trees, but as Falcon lovers know, R parts NIP are pretty rare and don't really show up that often and when they do they get high prices Now as nothing has arrived i emailed the seller and he said he would check, but didn't get any more response and he sent via international air small packets, not tracked. I had until the 26th (i think ebay had) to put a resolution issue in, so regretfully i have had to do this as i dont think anything will arrive. Most peeved as i really wanted these to make a start on buying odds and sods new to eventually have a new build falcon so is 1 month too long to wait or shall i still hold out some hope?

An Aquaroll mains adapter and 2Gb memory for my PC, nothing RC related, but i have just bought 2 sets of NIP R parts for the Falcon (front shock mounts) for £15 each, to keep it related No idea if it was a good deal until they arrive from across the globe, but knowing how rare they are new and how often people ask for them i may keep one set to build up a NIP Falcon over time, and one to keep in the spares drawer. As i have 2 original Falcon bodysets and original decals i may start looking for cheap NIP items over time, no rush and it will NOT be a runner if i ever complete it! -

My Ebay Dual Hunter, surprisingly for me managed to find a decent one that doesnt need anything doing with it (much!) http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=117915&id=1470
