Ferrari Enzo

Chris Greathouse This is the same kit you sold to me 2 months ago... What the heck lol

Bob Hall 3.00 bid ebay,and it was sealed.

Chris Greathouse Dang... nice steal.

Chris Greathouse I'm no good at "ebaying" I only use the buy it now feature.

Bob Hall I rarely if ever spend over 15.00 bucks on a kit, even my 1/12 scale Shelby and Foose Camaro were under 40 still sealed.

Chris Greathouse any good tips for a newbie looking for 1:24/25 civilian vehicles in general?

Bob Hall look for sellers that aren't hobby dealers I.E. old closet finds. shelved Christmas presents, always look at " View sellers other items" and add it to you watch list always, sellers all the times send me "Special Price offers" in private messages, and I always compare by the "view similar items" in my watch list. As this was being typed, I just got a Ferrari Super America still sealed, 6.00 bucks. And don't be afraid to use the MAKE OFFER listings, I've gotten tons with that feature alone.

Pascal GARAT Lucky guy!!

Steve Wilson I got this for an idea I had...
I wanted to do a framed montage of Ferrari mechanical parts from iconic cars they've built.
My problem is all Ferrari's are iconic

Pascal GARAT Yep! You have a BIG problem Steve
FORZA!

Steve Wilson My favourite Ferrari road car...

Martin Jakobsen PHHWWWEEE Thanks Steve, Being a Yorkshire lad before the move I still have my sens of
fun and sometimes put my mouth in gear before I let the clutch out on my brain ;p
Bit like those engines in those red cars Hmmm what DO they call them now (( )) LOL

Steve Wilson A Yorkie...
Never mind, I do believe a cure is imminent (titter)
Worked with a good few of the Guys from pudding land, when I was on the Coaches. The Beers good as well... or was!!! not many Breweries left now, is there???
William 'Compo' Simmonite, a Londoner in real life, was one of my favourite Yorkshiremen.

Martin Jakobsen Yorkie... Hope you mean the choci bar because i`m "big and chunky" LOL
Nope don`t think there are too many left that "brew proper beer" anymore,
Trust a Londoner to have a thing for Nora`s tights, mide you Southerners do learn fast

Steve Wilson Tell me Martin...
How do you, as Yorkshireman, end up in Norway???
Coz! when I looked at your profile, and with the name Jakobsen, which kinda sounds Norwegian, Dutch or Danish, that's where I thought you were from. I was kinda knocked back when you said Yorkshire.
I'm naturally nosey also

Alexander Aristides Cronvall Lord wilson have done it again if you're ever planning on selling your castle please let me know

Martin Jakobsen Well Steve I can blame my mam for that I was born and raised in Goole and as you may know Goole is the flast sea port on the Humber river, so ships mean sailors and sailors been sailors well .....Anyway long story short boy meets girl, boy marries girl( by the way i was already in the picture when all this happened) 21 years later dad(technically step-dad but have known no other dad) says lets move to Norway,I had just left the Army and thought why the h... not ,have nothing holding me hear so yes. and her we are 25 years later Wife, job, house and live what i call a comfortable life.
So thats the the VERY short story of how a Yorkshire lad gets to Norway

Steve Wilson Nice Story Martin
When I've stopped sobbin' I'll reply properly

Martin Jakobsen No sobbing Steve, the only thing I admit I really miss is Proper beer, Pork pies and the Full English Breakfast from a proper caff

Steve Wilson Hi Andrew.

As an observer looking in on your build from the photo's posted, it doesn't reveal much wrong. But, from what your saying that the paint ran easily, I'm guessing you used, possibly, Tamiya's TS16 rattle can. Little tip, when spraying Tamiya TS colours straight from rattle can, it's best to spray in light mists 10 to 15 minutes apart, until a finish your happy with is achieved. This cuts down on runs in the paint. Even better is to decant the paint for use in an Airbrush, which gives much better control of the paint spraying. If you can post pics of the actual damage or PM them to me if you like. Then I might be able to assist in repair suggestions...

Andrew Wylie Thanks Steve. I'll pull the model out and try and get some new photos. I do use rattle tins, I have been thinking about investing in an airbrush but not sure if family finances will allow that indulgence, I'd also have to get it past the missus, no mean feat!! The main problem I found was trying to get even and consistent coats on I think it was 8/9 seperate bodywork pieces. Because I was spraying them individually, some got more (and ran), some got less. I've since read in a modelling book I brought to try and put all the pieces together in one area and spray them all at the same time, with short, light bursts. I've since used the manta of 'less is more' and tried doing more light coats, rather than one big one. Seems to have worked reasonably well since I put this together (Lexus LFA project a really good example and came out lovely). I've you don't mind I PM you photos of the other problems, glue related, and will welcome any suggestions you might have because at the moment, this one will probably be the first in the bin when my display case is full!!

Alexander Aristides Cronvall Here's a good way of getting your girlfriend to give a green light on getting a airbrush Youtube Video

Tim Vereecke

Steve Wilson Nooo!!! no! no! don't bin it Andrew, it cost to much time and effort not to mention dosh. PM me when ever you like I don't mind. Believe me getting the Airbrush past your wife, is not the problem!!! It's the compresser an oily, noisy and an unfeminine, unsightly mechanical lump that only a man could love... Mine's called "Compo"...

Holger Kranich ROFL!
"Compo"!
I call mine more often: "You dammit fkn thing! Work or i´ll throw you outta the window!" hmpfgrmbl...
