[krobinson]

I should still be there on that list Ade! Money etc waiting. There was a que for you at Trax and i never got back to you lol!

[nova ian]

[Ben]

I hope im still in that original list- i posted right near the start.

Photos/paint code/cash waiting boss- looks awesome.

lol same here.

[HEVY-nova]

quality, well done mate!

[Mike.]

those models look great ade
well done

[ade]

theyre made from a combination a ctone cast resin and fibreglass/casting resin.

Paint used is proper car paint.

Basic GSi model for those who have logged orders previously (inc box) is ?60.

Each car is modded to your car so each one is custom.

Alas production costs and time has meant any new orders that come in after trax 04 will be ?80. Only ?20 increase but when you consider each one is unique and takes approx 150 man hoyurs to build you'll understand why. For those that have seen them they all agreen that ?80 was still ruddy good value.

Prices depend on the mods though.

Hopefully website will be up and running by the end of the month...

Hi All. Just thought I would put a quick post to congratulate Ade on the models. The Black GSi is a model of my car and I have to say the photo's don't do the model justice. It is absolutely brilliant and the attention to detail is unreal.

I would recommended to anyone that is an enthusiast to get one done. They are an absolute bargain when you realise how much time and effort Ade puts in to them. I bought mine as a present for my boyfriend as he did all the work on the car for me and he was chuffed to bits with it. It saved me having to sell the actual car to him.

I have attached some pictures of my car below (hopefully) so you can see how realistic the model is.

(I'm waiting for Ade to get back to me on when he's going to complete an engine for the model!! :lol: )

Thanks again Ade, you made Andy's day! It was well worth the wait.

[ade]

Cheers Anna (blushes at compliments)

Lol at his reaction when he got it - well chuffed!

As for the engine bay...maybe in a years time (would love to be able to do interior mods - eventually) :D

Currently starting to assemble SRS1's (Sean's) model! Just need to cast the wheels.

I've also made 6 other alloys including speedlines, and a set of 15 spoke alloys (for Seans). I'll post pics as soon as I can.

2 other shells ready to be cleaned up too...

[nuno_gt]

I can't wait to see my Nova model ready :multi:

[ade]

just sprayed Sean's with primer - just gotta smooth it and spray it - then add the wheels!

8)

Unfortunately the other 2 shells have been smashed :evil: on closer inspection they were warped :? must have taken them out the mould too soon.

No worries though I can still make up some more.

That's this weeks plan anyway!

:D

[Riggy]

I WILL get myself one of these for the GTE when its done (and cash permitting lol). I seriously can't wait for you to do the mk1 front just to see what it looks like.

Again, fantastic job, well done.

[ade]

LOL, well yeah I knew that..i just meant I cant wait to see the resemblance to the mk1 front, headlights etc.

[ade]

Well - despite being 1/2 scared to death by the wifes made driving antics (see post ref the crash) - I managed to have a wee tinker with SRS1's model (Sean's Nova Gsi 2ltr 16v).

Heres the latest pics.

Its still got a bit of work left - the wheels need finishing and setting in the arches properly, the mirrors, wipers, grill and decals but all the "hard" stuff's done.

Wife permitting :roll: it should be ready by the weekend - just need to mount it and do box.

What I might do is a running build report...
