That looks superb as it is.

The only problem I can see is the lack of off-side limbs (legs) on the side-door art. Other than that it's great! :)

Hi all here is the next update, I really am enjoying this (I know the paint job ain't the greatest but I've not ruined the kit, the way I've painted it, it's easily over sprayed and none of it will show) this is a great kit, I was going to build this oob but I'm sorely tempted to add lots of detail, I'm just worried if I do i may end up ruining another one, I seem to be in a catch 22 at the moment, I want to do more but I'm worried if I do i will ruin it.

Hi all here is the next update, this has working steering, it's a very nice kit to put together.

Hi all another update on this one.

[Old Wombat]

Nice bit of worn chocolate-brown leather there! :)


(edit: Where the Hell did "not" come from? Now fixed to be "nice".)

Hi all here is tonight's bit.

[kpnuts]

Hi not much of an update but I've been very busy of late.

[kpnuts]

Hi all, well I thought I was getting there(I always knew the paintwork was rubbish but I can and will be spraying over that) this is turning out to be another failure the instructions show the door latch pointing down (don't, point it upwards, it won't clear the gap in the inner door skin) admittedly that's not down to me, that's the instructions, however I cannot get the doors to open (whatever glue I use shutting the doors puts stress on the hinges and forces them off, also the gap around the door is horrendous( I wish I hadn't cut them out) all in all another ruined kit, the kit it's self is great, it's the idiot putting it together. When I respray it, it will be one colour, hopefully it will look better for that, still a few bits to put on it but I can't see them doing much for the overall model.

Hi all well it shows how much notice my missus takes of my modeling, since I was sat right by her on the couch whilst painting this, she said "did you paint those dragons or are they transfers " I said "yes I painted them, I know they're rubbish, I'm going to spray over them" she said " don't you dare, they're fantastic" go figure. Anyway here it is done. Wish I'd done a better job but looks like I'm stuck with it the way it looks now.

I agree with your wife - the dragons (and the rest of the car) look awesome!

[Old Wombat]

Overall, I, too, am on your other half's side on this. Very nice build! :)

[apophenia]

Yup, good call from the missus!  :)

[AXOR]

Still,that painting looks fantastic on your model,and for that,I sincerely congratulate you !

Ruined, you say?  Rubbish! I retort.  Beautiful work, sir, beautiful work and well done, too.  Just curious - have you ever seen one of these type cars in the flesh, so to speak?  The doors don't fit all that well - yours look spot-on, from the cars (of that type) that I have seen.

Seriously - that is beautiful.

Thanks, glad you like it.
