Revells 1/25 Beatnik Bandit

[kpnuts]

Hi all just a quickie as a break. I am doing the Beatnik Bandit (Not the correct colours) I never build as it's supposed to be, unless it's a definitive article. Nope don't build the way it's supposed to be, 2 reasons for that.
1: Hides my bad modeling skills(cant say its wrong if its being deliberately done wrong from the start)
2: I like being different.
So Here's my start.















I want the engine to look like it's been around a while, not like it's just come out of the custom shop.

Here is todays offering



Think I may do away with the fender decals, as it seems no amout of Micro sol or Micro set will take the wrinkles out of them.(don't know how you did it philo426)









did some more dirtying of the engine

Hi all here is where I am at now. wont be finished today as we have family all day so I just sneaked a quick go this morning, only got the light lenses front and rear then the dome to go on and the HT leads, a little touching up where I have not been too neat with my brush painting, so should finish tomorrow.

Hi all well it's finished (I was going to put HT leads on it but got fed up with them keep falling off so they can stay off)






the rear lights are supposed to have little bullets in them but I like the look without them so left them off.



the top is supposed to be a complete dome but I thought that wasnt very practible so I made it a convertible
