Righto, local wreckers have nothing, so have bitten the bullet and got one from Tardme. Thanks for the inputs etc.

Apparently you can't replace the UJs on them, sounds like you toss the entire shaft etc, which seems fucking stupid imo. Edit: That said, I might look into that further and see if it could be done.

Hi there, Need to replace the prop shaft on my 2010 4x4 X-Trail, have been given a quote by the dealer to refurb the old one etc, or get a new OEM one from Japan, but the price was eye-watering. Trying to see if there are any local (NZ) places that sell them? I have seen a couple on Trademe, but wanted to see what other options there were (I have tried BNT and Napa and they don't do prop shafts apparently). Cheers.

I've got the decals on, but haven't braved the weathering yet. I need a plan of attack / figure out wtf to actually do. Funny, I've watched quite a few videos online etc about it, but still have no idea where to begin. \That Rommel version looks lush, might keep my eyes out for one of those.

Nice, when it says all hatches, does that include the engine bay? / in the engine included etc On the modelling front, I have made some minor headway on the Austin, have got both the steering columns and both sets of brake & clutch pedals in place. Big work project is wrapping up next week, so hopeful I will find more time to push this puppy along, as I'd really like to start one of my other ww1 toys.

sure sure.....'just a look'.....

This is some prime barry dissection here, love it.

Just force it on them, they'll soon cave etc. \But in reality, I think it was a case of watching me do it and getting interested in giving it a go. We did a Tomahawk together, which to be fair did take around a year to finish because we're lazy / i'm busy with work. But when her birthday came around at the end of last year, she specifically asked for a model kit and she said she wanted the land rover. So that was that.

My middle child has started her land rover kit (combining my love of British cars and models - this makes me have the warm and fuzzies). Bloody wife was trying to convince her to paint it purple, thankfully my daughter has better taste and we've landed on Tamiya Nato Green.

Another ww1 kit for the ww1 stash

I know him as Nick Nack in 'The Man with the Golden Gun'?

Looks great, any guidance on how you achieved this weathering? Cheers

More WW1 goodies for the stash.

Yeah, used some speaker cable wiring for it, thin enough and can hold its shape. Not even sure if I'm going to have the engine exposed/open on this......so could be all for bloody nothing lol.
