I`m with Lee on the self build part.

oh god no not happy with it. Or more accurately I am happy with the ones I have but not at the size of the collection. Theres at least one or two of the Euro tractor units I need to add, the Merc box van, one of the 3 speed hi lifts, a monster truck of some variety, a couple more CC-01s and at least one M chassis shelfer. Eventually would like the Volvo recovery truck as well, but thats way way off at the minute........Unless anyone wants to buy a kidney? I can probably spare two, I`m sure the kids won`t notice theyre gone

Back when the RAC Lombard rally was a proper tour round Britain not just a quick jaunt round some Welsh country estate

It helps. I knew about the madbull and lunchbox plastic arms etc but though the metal rod and ball cups were turnbuckles. I hadn`t realised that proper ones had the nut arrangement

must admit i`m leaning towards the plain black backing. Ive left the clear parts below so I can have a fiddle and see what they look like with the secondary colour for the bumpers and sliders

Best I can do with the weather the way it is. Left is ps15 backed with black, middle ps15 with white then black and ps15 with smoke then black on the right

Did notice the darker backings bring out the metallic better. I'll chuck a better picture up tonight

Only got a test piece done last night. Left strip is ps15 backed with white then black. Middle is ps15 with black, right hand strip is ps15 backed with smoke then black. Dunno if you can tell on the photo as the light isn't the best. I'll have another look tonight if it's still daylight when I get home

To be honest I looked on Toyota`s website yesterday and theres not much choice of colour for the 1.1 version, red, white, grey, black and blue I think were the 5 choices so some form of red it is then. Possibly ps15 metallic backed with gun metal to get it a deeper colour but we`ll see how it pans out. Need weather to behave itself first thought

I`ve seen one or two kicking about on the monster/4x4 forum, but not that many. I don`t think mines going box art, more looking at a deep red and chrome bits to look more like the road version

Nah the body posts are all part of the look.

Got the chassis built body cut and masked for the bruiser jnr Before masking.

Well not the posty but my motor took me for it. Just been to MB models on the outskirts of Leeds for it and what a cracking little set up. The track looks good

Cheers for that. Any particular Italion stores? Or Italian even

Marked (just ignore me folks)

Silly question but how easy is an order from RCMart to the UK? How long is delivery and do you get stung for charges when it comes? and more importantly is it much of a saving?

Pass. It`s something that always has me in two minds. You`ve spent all that time doing a decent job on the paint do you really want to hide, but then again does it look realistic without a few well chosen decals

Pass. Got my pay on Friday with back pay from our pay rise from April, so a bit of spare cash this weekend so have spent the weekend between callouts trawling the Tamico website. I would ideally like to do a Brat or a Blackfoot for a basher and then start saving for a pickup to join the 4x4 collection, perhaps a Hilux CC-01

Reminiscent of the tl01 based Stadium Raider. It weren't a bad basher from what I remember

I'm tempted to have a dabble with the CC - 02 but the limited range of bodies are a bit of a put off. What else will fit? I'll admit I haven't read the full thread so if it's been mentioned my apologies

What a ridiculous post, as if Herpes would waste money on a B17!!!!. Its a Sopwith Camel they usually use

I keep coming back to this thread and pics. That is an amazing colour

I'll drop it 80 if anyone's bothered

That is a brilliant result from an enforced situation

It is. Hoping those that have been phsyically affected and mentally affected are doing ok
