Ali C Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have been searching google for hours now trying to find somwhere that sells model kits but without any luck. I am after either motorbikes (I would love a crosser or trials one if they exist?) or racing cars, the bigger the better, I just want somthing to build and possibly paint because I need somthing to do! so if anyone knows any shops that do these kind of things, can you let me know please.

trials_pimp Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 well if you tell us what you are "specificly" looking for, it may make the search easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 this looks good, i might get a few myself, it looks like it`ll keep you occupied for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I "specificly" want some addys, or just names even of some decent model shops, not just the ones that do the die-cast £5 jobbies and already built models. edit again: thats more like it, they look the part! Good job trialsboy560 :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 My little brother works in a RC and Model shop called Bekra RC they are pretty big but don't have a site. What kind of motorbike are you looking for? Oh and you wont find any trials bike models :S the only one that was ever made was of an old Yamaha TY 175 I have one unbuilt :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 What kind of motorbike are you looking for? a big fast looking one, with lots of parts, hard dificulty level etc etc, I want it to take me a while to do. or an equally big, hard motocross one (though, I doubt it exists :S ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 No problem, ive been thinking about getting them for ages. Its just the paints that cost a load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) a big fast looking one, with lots of parts, hard dificulty level etc etc, I want it to take me a while to do. or an equally big, hard motocross one (though, I doubt it exists :S ) ← Ok then well I know for definate you wont get a very hard motorcrosser but I made this Ducati 998 once that was incredably hard so hard that you had to mad the chain from all the links :P it was 1:9 scale so big enough to be very detailed. I'll go find the box and take a picture Edit - paint is £1 a pot so not that bad Cost £30 from Hamleys :P how snobby is that and it's not finished yet Edited January 19, 2005 by Xdream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Watch american chopper and try and build a model custom chopper from scrach. That will keep you busy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 D'you mean "American Chopper" gay porn or "American Chopper" the Sky thing? :S Anyhoo, I know that in the big model shop where I used to live (no, I didn't live in the model shop...), they had some motocross bikes, but to be honest I can't remember if they're the "made" ones or the kit ones. I'd have thought you could've gotten something? Try looking for the Revell website, if you haven't? They seem to be the bomb shit, really. Mark.
