Re: Halo and Grosjean

Smirkoff, the FIA said when introducing the halo the allowed time to leave the car was now longer. They're now allowed to leave the car within 10 seconds instead of 5. They haven't given an explanation of why this is. It is actually 7 seconds, not 10. It used to be that they had to extract themselv...

Re: Hamilton tests positive on corona

They did already announce that they are retaining Bottas in 2021. I think it was a team option. I bet that Russell is in that car in 2022—provided he doesn't make a habit of the bizarre mistakes we've seen him make this year—unless Bottas can do something special in 2021.

Re: Hamilton tests positive on corona

I'd be shocked if Stoffel Vandoorne isn't driving that car on the weekend.

Re: 3D printed full colour decals

I have a few of the quinta sheets. Great for certain parts of the cockpit, but its not quite ‘plug and play’ just yet. Getting v close though - at which point you’ll just open the box and a perfect, scaled down aircraft will await. Where’s the fun in that... That’s interesting. Does some of it requ...

Re: 3D printed full colour decals

*2.5D, not 3D (technically) I haven't seen anything for auto modellers, but I suspect they'll become a lot more common in the next few years as people adopt the technology more. It's not all that hard to figure out what kind(s) of machines can do it, then it's just a case of finding a print shop th...

3D printed full colour decals

Hey folks, I occasionally peek in on the military side modelling to see what's up and once in a loooong while I'll build something. I was looking around at aircraft models on eBay and noticed this company from Russia called Quinta Studio which is offering embossed, full-colour interior details which...

Re: This next race

Some teams have said that it’s because of the ~2500km travel between Portimao and Imola.

I've always used a credit card with Hobby Easy but would have preferred to use PayPal instead, so thanks for this info.

Re: WIP De Tomaso Ford 505 38 Piers Courage

Using liquid gun blue creates an interesting effect that you can't really get with paints and washes. I've noticed that some of the military modelling weathering and effects companies have started selling it as "metal burnishing fluid" or something similar, for aftermarket metal tank track...
