Hey Anton, I've seen your stuff on your Youtube account & I like a lot. I would like to make a live diesel but the only loco I scratch built was Pete (& everyone knows of his little problem). Maybe someday when I get cleverer

Hey dudes. First post in ages I know but I want to ask a favour & it is related to Agnus by the way. Thing is, she needs a driver. I don't have the skills to make a figure. Why not buy a ready made one I hear you ask. Well, I don't think anybody produces these guys http://images2.wikia.nocookie...

Looks good but I don't like these Steam to Electric conversions. Why spend a load of money for a Steam engine only to have the steam engine bits taken out & electric bits put in? Sounds odd to me

There's another car on my list. Triumph Herald 13/60. Why? Well, you can still pick them up for relatively good money, they were never sold as sports cars so insurance should be good, they look good & I think you can still buy all the bits for them. I would like a saloon as I can fit two pals i...

Insurance isn't a problem. My dad says he's going to go on a Multicar policy so we have a discount on each car. I'll have to pay him back though but that's fine by me

:lol: what an awesome tale. I do appreciate these recommendations but it is my decision what car I want at the end. i want something nice, affordable, possibly sporty & fun to drive. Before anybody says, no Mini. There are hundreds in my town now so I'm not having one

You are seriously recommending a Morris Marina to me? I'd rather have a Lada. No, Midget or Fez it has to be. I would like a Spitfire but my dad's been in one & he says they are so hard to see out of because of the bonnet. I'm after a Fiesta because it's a brilliant & cheap way to get in th...

My first car is most likely going to be a classic son after talking to many enthusiasts, they recommended a nice little car I can have as a first car, an MG Midget. I'm still after a Mk1 Fiesta if I can't get a nice li'l Midget but the prices are actually fairly reasonable. Scouring through the cla...

Looking very nice. I quite fancy making a dante but dude, you know you could just use Mamod spacers for the frames. It would be easier but I'd expect it would cost more
