Coming together very nicely Phil!!surprising to see how tall just the legs are,it's going to be a real nice show peice when he's done.5 packs left😃

No problem,I'll.do some research.it's something I would like to get into at some point. Thanks for your advice 37401👍

Appreciate your feedback and see where you are coming from with your post.👍 Makes more sense to just invest in a proper railway kit so you can have all kinds of different trains and have it moving around a track with what you like. As a rough estimate what do you think it would cost to have a train running around a 3-4 metre track with scenery and all the bells and whistles?

Anyone interested in this build from what's been shown so far?

Hogwarts express would have been amazing!I'm a huge potter fan and have been since I was about 7 lol! A train build would be a nice change from what we have so far. Something completely new and I can't think of any other model company who has done one🤔

Just heard from agora forum model builder ModelSteve about there being no instructions in the packs we build anymore. He seemed shocked that they were not included. I explained that I did get them with my terminator build but not with the leopard tank. He went on to say other model companies still do them, fanhome,altalya ect. I understand we can download them and view from tablets,laptops,phones but will they ever make a come back? Would other members like paper instructions? or is it a thing of the past now? If I'm honest I do like flicking through the pages and reading from the magazine,it's just my preferred method of building.

True say,but the prices have gone up this year😅

Hi Steve I totally get your frustration🤨I was shocked too as the agora terminator build had instructions, yet my leopard tank build I'm having to use my phone (really need to get a big tablet or ipad) to guide me through. I prefer the paper instructions also.. I know lostark98 said about printing them off but if you don't have a printer then it kinda sucks... Maybe we should start a petition to get agora to do paper instructions again🙂

Awesome it's only £4.49 to rent on prime video. 🙂Will try to get some time over the weekend and see what it's like. Will report back with what I think. Thanks for the recommendation notsram 👍

Hey 37401 Yea I saw that thread on the guy who has been waiting months for a part for the routemaster....that must be extremely frustrating..🙄 Yeah the miura has had many problems too which is a shame because the builds are expensive and agora are usually very good with quality control in recent times. I hear what your saying about the cobra being a simple build, I like to be challenged with intricate parts and difficult placements of screws,pins,glue ect so maybe the routemaster could pose more of a challenge. The IXO Peugeot sounds amazing from what you have said. I need to check that out! Thanks for your advice 👍

Yeah a quiet place part 2 was pretty good but the 1st one edged it for me too! I'm going to check amazon prime and see if I can get it. Do you think it would have been edited or censored though due to the ban? Ahh Blair witch,to be fair I watched it when I was like 12 in the dark at home downstairs alone.wasnt too bad initially but that final scene freaked me out!!scary for its time👇

Random thread here,just wondering what people thoughts are on these builds (quality,problems,fun factor,mods ect) as I can't decide what I want to do next. I really like both 🧐 but can only afford 1 build from them in my next subscription. Anyone built both?

Keep checking ebay,they do pop up from time to time🙂

No problem Ken,enjoy the build👍

Hello lostark98 https://www.agoramodels.com/download-center/007_db5 I don't think you will recieve paper instructions throughtout the build but the link above will take you to the download for the first pack instructions. Check back on agora when you recieve the next pack and Pack 2 instructions should be available to download too

Ahh I see now,thankyou for explaining this👍 Now I know what to look for if anyone says they have orange peel. Yeah I'm torn between the 2.shelby cobra is so nice and it's my dream to own one 1 day.but I love the routemaster and all its features like interior lighting and the sheer size of it is (chefs kiss)👌 What to do...🤔 Thanks again laverdj

Hey Marco It really is impressive the scale.of this model.from your pictures I can see that it's bigger than I thought! Nothing but good reviews from this build so far.well done agora!👍 Transformers was before my time and I don't have a special connection with it. Even though optimus looks awesome in so many ways I'm more of a power rangers dude lol

You mentioned the orange peel paint too earlier,have you got a picture to show me? Do you mean the paint work is peeling off or the colour of the paint is orange peel? Kind regards Chris

Fair play to you,being an experienced builder you sure know what your doing with the models👍its good to hear the cobra was flawless!I'm thinking that might be my next build (maybe the routemaster,I like that too) Now I have seen your pic I do see your frustration. How does this happen!?they test and build all these models before releasing them to us customers then your halfway through a build and the part is not sitting correctly. I hope you manage to get the panel lined up correctly,that would bug me too. I'm hoping when you take it apart you find out what causing it to be out of line. It's just annoying you have to do this in the first place..

Wow didn't realise it had that kind of reaction.😲I mean for 1992 it must of been really dark for it to be in the papers. I'm intrigued now,regardless of it being a bit dated I think I will try and see if I can find it. Thanks for the info notsram👍

Hey Notsram Seeing exorcist in cinema must of been epic,its just so classic and the tubular bells theme will always give me chills. Love the film also🤓 Glad you enjoyed a quiet place,it is a really good idea and is very tense in places.let us know what you think of part 2 when you get round to it. Interesting about ghost watch,what year did it come out?I've never seen it but might have a look.

That is a shame you have had problems with the build, same as a few others on here as well.glad you got it sorted👍 Although I'm not building the Lambo I've found with Agora models that you have to Improvise and add a washer/different screw/maybe glue/file certain bits to fit properly. I have had to do this on terminator and leopard tank...there is always something that doesn't fit perfectly. Being a perfectionist I want the model to be the best it can be so can be frustrating when things don't go as planned...

Yes having the same problem,but luckily i have enough spare tracks so im able to discard the faulty ones. You can sometimes get them through the holes with more oomph or a tap of a hammer but then It can cause it to be too tight with no wriggle room. Did you manage to get more tracks and/or fix the issue?

Thankyou,will defo do this before putting the leopard fully together,I'm halfway through so when this motor comes I will use your mod straight away Cheers🍻

Cheers nando,I'll check out your YouTube page and see what you have been up to! Nice work👍
