Thanks - You tend to want the things you can't have, won't have or have had and got rid of - Mine was the later and had to get back.

How to just replace tires, not wheels
Ballistic brushless

Great Tip Ballastic Brushless - Want to point out though to anyone using a Gas Fan Assisted oven as these heat up immediately I have just tried it on the lowest setting for two minutes and it melted the wheels:(. It stuck the tyres though after it cooled down:). Thought best to let anyone else know this to put on for less!!! Won't stop me from trying another way though!!!

How to make window masks
Sideways-King

Mattijn - I used Photoshop Software and I actually highlighted the grey part(windows) to keep and deleted the black window seals so it's the perfect match for the window. Nice note to point out and one which I didn't highlight in the description.

Cosworth power
_miga_

Great model I Love the Escort Cossie - Cockpit set I got through Time Tunnel Models although not for the Escort it can be adapted. The one for the Escort has a number for sale on EBay at the moment, one seller has 17 of them in stock!! You'll need the Z Part heads though.

Boomerang: first love is unforgettable!
kontemax

Sounds like the same story with mine! - Excellent mods, great finish and they do go extremely well when modded for a 20year old car - Gives alot of the newer ones a run for the money. Your right you never forget your first love!

How to make window masks
Sideways-King

SubaruBratJunkie - Your right there are thousands of ways to do this and it's not meant to be the be all and end all of masking it was just an idea for those who don't know what to do, open a new model box and want clear windows when they get the black versions in the kit. And seeing as there wasn't one on the tutorial I thought it would be nice to put one up.
It's got people's creative juices flowing though - what I also aimed to do - and get members like you highlighting different methods because I hadn't heard of Bob Dively's liquid mask and I've been static building for many years. There are literally thousands of ways(and products) as you say ;)

Rally escorts - long live the kings !!
Sideways-King

Thanks guys I know it's very LOW in Tarmac spec and in reality it would probably be more to scale ride height wise in the Gravel Sprc. on asphalt but I love 'em low down. In Gravel Spec it looks like a crop sprayer when it's to high and you can see the tub underneath if you do it to scale.
As regards to the garage - Brick wall was a background of bricks off Google images on to 6 A4 pieces of paper and the boxes were just imagination and fiddly masking tape cut to scale with a few old wheels and tyres chucked in here and there.
