Model Car Kits

Ok so recently been talking to my good friend R0bbit in the states about model kits, he had picked up a car and was half way through it and seen as I'm outta work and looking for a job I thought would be a great time to pick this up again as I haven't done it since school.

So I picked up this car its the Brahbam BT50 BMW Turbo F1 car (for those of you who dont no what it is lol)

Now I have the gear box and oil tank attached to the engine its starting to come along quite nicely.

Here we have the trye's painted up I used a size #0000 brush to do these I dont have the steadiest of hands if im honest and should of probably used a finer brush might of been easier but for a first attempt I'm happy with the way they turned out

Original Xbox

Ok so at the moment in time im in no position to buy a new xbox 360 so had to get out the old xbox, made a few mods to it, Soft modded the console using a few various guides, then upgraded the hard drive to a 500gig HD, then joined this great site link in the title, $6 a month unlimited downloads of games home-brew apps & Games, cant go wrong, even got it set-up on-line last night and got my ass handed to me on a plate at Halo 2 oh the good old times eh lol

All good fun, going to try out some new mods soon, maybe put it inside a media centre case and some lights and some better cooling make it look a little sexier than a brick lol, also some wireless controllers seems a good idea, and in the middle of making the controller port for player 4 be able to cold boot the xbox to I don't have many friends so i don't need port 4 lmao
