instruction sheet project

Hello all, I have been thinking of a project that may help some people out. Have you ever been working and found that you lost the instruction sheet somewhere like maybe behind your workbench? Well I have some extra spare time and with some help from you ether by sending in your old instruction sheets by mail or e-mail me ([email protected]), we can all work together to build a resource center that anyone could go to and check a copy of the instruction sheet. Though there may be many of these I think that we need one to be a sticky.

1/24 Scale

TAMIYA:
Toyota Supra ITEM NO. 24123
Enzo Ferrari ITEM NO. 24260

REVELL:
69’ Camaro Convertible KIT NO. 7676

REVELL GERMANY:

Fujimi:

*Note all instruction sheets are owned by there respective companies.

Re: instruction sheet project

This is a great idea. I've always thought that there was a site for this, but have yet to come across one.

They don't have everything though. The instruction sheets they have are mostly for Japanese kits. Also, they tend to only show the sheets of kits that they have in stock.

Re: instruction sheet project

Sadly, my instruction are usually in very bad shape when I have done with the model, but this is a great idea. I was thinking about the same thing.

We could do them in pdf file and I can host them (I have a lot of space and bandwidth.) I can give you 1 000mb for that if you need it. Just PM me if you need help.

Re: instruction sheet project

I can understand: I usually place my instruction like a pad-cover so cut, paint, drik coffe, eat pizzas, drink beers and chianti (whish is worst than 2 part plymer to leave from paper ) but it's even fun: yes upload your kind used "customized" instructions. And obviously new one.
Well I like this project> I 'll do my contribution with approx 150 sheets, mostly lancias and ferraris (and some good skylines) and may be 50 "customized" sheets, with cut, eat, drink and paint performances I simply love it!
Eric, just say us when the service would be still active on scalewiki or on your site and we'll upload our craps J/K

Re: instruction sheet project

I don't want to "steal" the idea of Samurai75007. I just want to offer space and help. I have the space, I have the time, I have web site already setup for that.

I can make a special place for it once I have few of them. If Samurai75007 think it's a good idea, just PM me to see what we can work together.
