JeffSpicoli 1363 Posted May 26, 2020 My Tamiya sport tuned came today, I was worried it was going to be the silver can and not the black one, and that's the case I also got my bumper mounts for the race Brat, and I ordered the Frog decals to get the sponsor decals for the Race Brat/Blockhead motors body. I prefer the OEM sponsor decals over the aftermarket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's in the box it came in. $20 shipped if you are interested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted May 27, 2020 That's pretty amazing from Tamico. Shows really what an absolute shower our "Royal" Mail system is in the UK. When you compare how badly they've been affected in the last 2 months it's pitiful. Delivery companies should be absolutely raking in profits now, with the shops closed everyone is relying on shopping online, which brings with it a necessity to deliver. Militant, unionised ex-big-state industry vs. Free Enterprise in action! I'm bitter because my postman brought me nothing but a bill today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truck Norris 2237 Posted May 27, 2020 As usual lots of unrelated bits - paints not for the kits shown, body not for that chassis and wheels not for that body! A new respirator (not easy to get hold of at the moment, the place I got this from didn't have all the parts so I'm awaiting some filter holders from eBay), brakes from eBay, Paint from Scalemodelshop (first order, impressive service), the correct paint and mixing jars order from Redline who sent me the wrong bits the other week, and did an excellent job of rectifying things with a prepaid return - top marks! The rest from Tamico. I'm not a huge buggy fan but the Terra Scorcher was the car my mate had as a kid when I had my King Cab, so there's strong nostalgia there. He got a replacement body and painted it black and pink. I won't be doing that. As a big TT-02 fan I had to get the latest SR. I'll transfer all the Hop-ups from my "Type-RS" Type-R/Type-S hybrid to create an "RSR". The body is an Impreza 2004. The CC-01 wheels I bought purely as they have plated versions of the centres for the 911 GT2 BBS wheels. I can make use of the wheel barrels too, and will sell the tyres on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Militant, unionised ex-big-state industry vs. Free Enterprise in action! I'm bitter because my postman brought me nothing but a bill today. Yeah free enterprise =low pay zero hour the Amazon world of work! Havn't we learned anything in this rubbish we are in at the moment who are the important people in our society? Is it free enterprise Richard Branson's(who tried to sue the NHS because he lost out on a contract) Mike Ashley's, and that idiot that owns Wetherspoon's (who told his workforce to go and get a job in Tesco's) of this world? or the real people who are working and have been for weeks all through the lockdown???? I know who I have respect for and it isn't free enterprise! Sorry for the rant I've got a good friend (postman) who is seriously ill with this horrible virus (intensive care) and I can tell you his family are forever grateful that he was in his union because they have come up trump's with the care and support that he and they need and deserve! So "militant" probably not maybe back in the 70s? Unionised yes! And the problem with that is??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark_C 198 Posted May 28, 2020 Early delivery this morning, 3D printed parts for CW-01. From left to right: Front strut brace x2 Wheelie bar wheels x4 Lunch box body pegs x8 Axle braces x2 Pumpkin body rear monts x4 Pumpkin body front mounts x 4 Printing by www.thirty6.co.uk models from www.thingiverse.com except the wheel one, which I need to upload there. One note - the model for the axle brace is incorrect, it forces the slicer software to print it in two parts, they corrected the model and re-printed for me. So just be aware if you're taking models from there and getting them printed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
