Look what the Mail man brought me ! 4 years 1 month ago #58365

Uncletom I did a small test on my vw motor printed. The picts doesn't give the real effect of th brilliant chrome effect but I am in love with the shine. I am really impressed by these pencils
The pulley is wrotten. Other chrome parts are brushed with spastix paint.
I will use pencils to repaint this motor parts ;p

This lovely old school piece arrived today.
Another piece of the 85001 jigsaw puzzle.
When I feel brave enough I might even start building.

I’ve got some Graffiti remover waiting to be picked up. But from the B&Q near work ( not the one near home). So I’ll pick that up Monday.
I can at least strip the shell while debating opening up those NIP parts.

Great catches there, AI.

Sting, that is one nice motor you have there. You printed it yourself?

Cheers Tom. This was supposed to be a slow, on going project, with no rush.
I picked up the body last November and it’s just steam rollered along since then.

I guess when you start looking for parts you do manage to find what you’re after.

I’m amazed it’s got this far in such a short space of time, but then I had a lot of help from a collector in Holland who made contact. A big thanks to him.

Hi Poebe, it’s safe.
It’s the Mykal brand that usually gets mentioned, certainly in the UK.
I’ve used it on various hard shells.
I certainly wouldn’t do anything to damage that body shell.

Poebe, will do. This isn’t a project I can afford to mess up. It’s not like I can just order up another body kit.
