Hmmmm... it must be an international thing, being in the US, I can't access that link, it reverts me to the US page for their regular product and no mention of the Time Machine anywhere there.

Nope! your link reverts me to this link "https://shop.eaglemoss.com/usa/"

and if I put Back to the future, or Delorean or Time Machine in the search, I get "No Products match your search"

And all I can get to is the Start your Subscription page on their UK site. There's nothing that I can see that will take me to a page to buy just individual issues. Only info on the build and Start your Subscription today.

Must be a International Internet pageblock. Part of US Net Neutrality....?

Just noticed a row of countryflag at the UK store, showing where its available. US is not listed there, just European flags.

I believe this is what you seek:
https://en-us.eaglemoss.com/delorea..._medium=email&utm_campaign=FSM_summer_default

Nope, still just the Subscription page to start the build, not the page that he was referring to, being able to order other issue numbers.

I could click on the AU flag and see the issues there but as soon as I clicked on the UK flag it would redirect back to the US page. Tried manually changing my browser's reported location information but that didn't work. Probably based off of IP address or something.

Hey fellow timetravelers

Latest order arrived, right in time before I go on vacation


#71 / 130

all parts - Plastic
cloth belt with D-ring





#72 / 130

all parts - Plastic
wire with 3 LEDs





#73 / 130

Gullwing - Metal
everything else - Plastic
Mirror Foil Sticker





#74 / 130

all parts - Metal





#75 / 130

Panel - Metal
Flux Light Brackets - Plastic





#76 / 130

Fender - Metal
Stripe - Plastic



driverside-fender from #2 added as well. A few minor "adjustment" on the doors are needed to level up everything fine and smooth, but a simple bending-in/out-job should do. I just will wait until all panels, the front and rear mask are attached


#77 / 130

Fender - Metal
Vents - Plastic



and as this is the last issue for the next couple of weeks, due vacation and becaues I am up-to-date with the EM UK-shops offerings right now , I couldn´t resist any longer to do a testfit with the chasis and I really, really, REALLY love it.... And man, this baby is becoming REAL heavy.

Thats it again, now off to Croatia with the Mrs. tomorrow

Still on vacation, but I just HAD to order an new custom upgrade. Mr. Mike Lane, who is also offering the awesome interior carpets, is now offering a upgrade set for the luggage compartment. This will include a flocked insert for the inner side of the hood, a foam insert including custom repair tools and an removeable top inlay. Pics will follow as soon as I get back home, and the set has arrived

Back from Croatia, and as expected, a envelope fom UK rested in the PObox
Mike Lane´s custom Luggage Compartment upgrade set arrived



The part under the X-frame is a sticker, like the interior-carpets. Although the foam-part and the tools are not exactly accurate to a real DMC, I think its still a nice addition.
Still need to paint the tools, as well as the the lower part of the hydraulic struts

Parts count so far : 1317

Itsy-bitsy update as I felt as unproductive like a piece of bread today

Added a little weathering to the trunk and painted the custom toolset

Hi there everyone

Got a smaller delivery yesterday

#78 / 130

all parts - Plastic





#79 / 130

Panel - Metal
Fins - Plastic





#80 / 130

all parts - Plastic



Attaching the last body panel, ended with some minor issues with the passenger-side doorcabs. I just hope this is solved by itself with connecting the body with the bottom, as I think this might come from some minor warping of the main frame. Or the door needs some "push-pull-twist-bend" adjustments

Couldn´t resist doing a testfit for the rear mask from the very first issues





#81 / 130

Engine surounding - Metal
Greeblies - Plastic




And thats all for this lil update, folks

Parts count so far : 1388
custom parts : 29

It’s looking beautiful Scooby , those custom parts really do enhance what is already a pretty well detailed model , if the parts count is any indication !
Wondering if when you next post some pics , you could place something ‘ well known ‘ next to the ( so far ) completed vehicle body - just to share the sense of scale for us ?

:cheersGed

three issues arrived yesterday from France
Altought there are a few "inaccuracies" with the greeblies on the engine surrounding, I decided to just "upgrade" this area with a little weathering and a few spots of color here and there


#82 / 130

all parts - plastic
wires





#83 / 130

all parts - plastic
covers for the silver cylinder - metal
wires





#84 / 130

all parts - plastic




These three issues don´t look very much, but ended up being pretty fiddly

Itsa me again, with yet another small update, only one week later

Buuuuuuut......

this will be just a "2,5 issue update"

Actually, I ordered up to #89 from EM-shop this time, but since my beginning of this build back in Jan., this is the first time where the order is messed up a little. No big deals, but unexpected indeed.
First, the main inner roof cover in #86 has a little color scratched off the plastic, still in protecting blister. Qualitycontrol fail !
Second, #87, supplies a wrong string of LED´s. The ones packed, are a pair of YELLOW LED´s. These are meant to be mounted through the roof to light the rear Flux-band and so these should be BLUE. Thanks again, Qualitycontrol. Anyway, I already learned that the correct string, will be supplied later with #90
Third, as mentioned I ordered 5 issues, but I only recieved 4.

"Dear customer
Due some unexpected logistic-error, issue #88 is currently out-of-stock...

Click to expand...

Don´t know if by error or to compensate that, but I recieved this for free instead



Ok, stop moaning and lets start again


#85 / 130

body rear panel - metal
engine bay back and lamp - plastic

Again I added a little weathering to the engine bay part





#86 / 130

all parts - plastic
"Emergency switch" with already attached wire and LED ( ?? )

The above mentioned quality-failure can be seen on the left arm ( right, when mounted inside ) In the end, no big deal. I will color this when attached to the inside body
Painted the "mounting panel" where all the switches go, silver and black for two little details.





#87 / 130 ( part 1 )

all parts - plastic
wires with LED´s
strip of LED cover stickers

I might be wrong, but I think there should also go a few extra cables between the switches. I need to check for some reference pictures for that,



Another little quality-issue here.
The sunvisors are articulated, but the way they are mounted, makes them pretty loose and wobbly. As for me no big deal, as I have no plans to keep them moving up and down, I will permanently glue them later when this is mounted to the inside later.
And this is where the ,5 update stops As explained above, the wrong colored LED string should be mounted now, followed by attaching the assembly to the body-inside

While still waiting for the next bulk of issues available for order at the EM-Shop, ( or my french alternate source ), I recieved another great Decal Upgrade Set from Mr. Mike Lane today



and there we go

ID-plates for the chassis and the dashboard




screwhole covers for the door-insides and the seat-backs




"three screws" details around the door catchers




missing "High Voltage" label




clock display




simulated readout for the CID display ( I only added this to display only, the entire CID will be replaced with a real working one, coming together with an upgraded Flux Capacitor. Hope these arrive soon too )




and last, a supertiny transfer radioactive symbol for the plutonium reactor seal





Parts count so far : 1554
custom parts : 53

I finaly recieved the second half of my previous order, the one with the replacement LED and the before OOS-issues.


#87 / 130 ( part 2 )

As mentioned above, issue #87 had a wrong colored LED-string with yellow bulps. Its meant to light the rear flux-bands to lightup blue. Buuuuuuuut the replacement LEDs delivered now are white, so I simply colored them with a blue marker as I don´t want to order and wait for yet another replacement





#88 / 130

all parts - plastic
seatbelts - cloth with plastic parts



still need to touch up that color damage, but I am also thinking about to let it as it is and add alittle weathering to the finished interrior



#89 / 130

all parts - metal





#90 / 130

all parts - plastic except for that clamp-thing



that tube-assembly will be added to the motor with the next issue, wich will also be a MAJOR-step issue... marriage of bottom and body followed by adding the rear and front mask can´t await to place my next order as I am soooo exited to check all the lightning. Only holdback would be, I still need to wait for my custom flux-capacitor and CID-display, as I surely don´t want to rip apart bottom and body again, once assembled

Well, well, well it must be X-Mas already, as the long awaited Flux Capacitor and Xmas Tree Mods arrived and I finally am able to continue.

Big time thanks to the awesome members of the Modding Group over at Facebook, Mrs. Chloe Powel, Mr. Corrie Hollingsworth and Mr. Mike Lane. It´s an way awesome work on these two parts that are pretty screwed up by EM.

First, this is what arrived




Here is how EM´s look like again. Low on details and static lighted with simple LED´s. One in the middle of the Flux and two green on top and bottom of the X-Mas Tree Display. They are "OK" for what they are, but seriously EM, you could have done better on them.




and THIS is how to installed mods look like. Really fluxing and both units work in synch together

With the mods added, I finaly am able to continue on my stacking issues

#91 / 130

Motor parts - plastic
tube - rubber
Rear Fender bottom - metal
wire with LED




And now, ladies and gentlemen, behold the long awaited, final marriage of botom and body
