The Dark Knight Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Cool, thanks for that link. Do you need special ink cartridges for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuran Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I don't think so, there is a inkjet version which you need to seal after printing else the ink bleeds in the water but I think if you use the laser one then it seals itself Info herehttp://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/static.aspx?page=step_water_slide_decals Edited April 16, 2014 by Samuran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GilbertRC1 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 A long time ago tamiya made a special tt01 with a vauxhall btcc body for the vauxhall team to sell at a race meet, although these are very rare they can still be found on eBay, plus if you get one you can pay for a guy to vacuum form a second one.

The Dark Knight Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Just googled the Tamiya, looks like made quite a few but mainly Vauxhalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuran Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 There are loads of Tamiya shells from BTCC from that era but nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not a plato fan im guessing? Nope. I'm firmly in the Matt Neal camp. Well, him, Flash, Andy Jordan and Rob Austin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicks451 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 LOL Thanks for all the replies lads, I'm loving the shell dark knight and it's looking really good already bud plus thanks for posting some pictures of it before you have started If you have a look you can get just the stickers on there own for the tamiya BTCC Astra and you can get the full kit but its going to cost you a few quid. Let me know if you want the link bud. I am also intrested in the links for those sticker printer kits they look intresting for custom stickers. As for plato i'm a fan but then i like matt neal as well LOL I know most people either like one or the other but they are both great drivers in my eyes and i cant wait for this weekends event. It will defo be intresting!!! Well thanks again lads i appreciate all the replies!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicks451 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Sorry i've only just replied chewy, Just had to go shopping for the weekend bud. Yea i'm well jelous mate lol But i will defo be watching on ITV4 with a few cold beers and plenty of grub lol. I hope you have a great time with great weather mate and i look forward to a few storys and a few pictures!!! All the best Chewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I've never been a fan of Plato, he comes across as a bit arrogant when he says things like he gifted Jordan the championship last year. Don't get me wrong, Plato is a talented driver, he wouldn't have got to where he is without being good. Another driver which really annoys me is Aaron Smith, he should've had his licence taken away ages ago, he seems to constantly ram people off the road like Matt Jackson in the opening Brands Hatch round this season. I've always been a fan of Flash & Neal hence me wanting to replicate the Honda Tourer but I also support most of the other drivers. It's going to be a very interesting and exciting this year and looking forward to see-ing it develop. I'm afraid I'm missing watching the Donnington round this weekend as it is the first round at the local club which I'm helping race direct so I can't miss it so will have to wait for the race to go online and watch the highlights next weekend too.

hicks451 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi lads, Sorry i haven't replied to any threads, I had a good friend pass away on friday so it's been a very sad weekend for me and my family I did manage to catch some of the BTCC on sunday but my thoughts wernt really there if i'm honest but i hope you all had some great fun watching were ever you all were!!! It was an emotional weekend for me but hopefully i can get to see the full highlights when they are on ITV4 so i can get a better look at the whole day as even though i saw every race i just couldn't take it all in. Well i hope you had a great day chewy and i'm looking forward to a few pictures and storys if you managed to get a few Thanks again lads PS.

hicks451 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks chewy i really appreciate your reply, It means a lot bud It was a great days raceing even though the weather played a big part and the safty car being used more than usual but the MG's looked good in the wet so that will be an intresting thing for the rest of the pack to lok at this season and it's still early days so anything can happen from now on. Well i'm off to do a few more tanks so good luck all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 No worries fella. Don't mention the weather, we got soaked lol. Didn't dry out till the afternoon! Those damn MG's, far too quick! At least Tordoff prevented Plato from doing the double Got some ok shots, will be posting them into the "Photography" thread at some as yet undecided point in the nearish future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Sorry to hear about your friend hicks, my regards. The MG's where going well in the wet!
