Hi all, next update, nearing the end now.

Bravo!! That's looking quite the gorgeous project.

Hi all nearly at the end now, there are so many more things I could add to this but I think I will just finish it as it is, I must say I much preferred the first build of it and I think it's more interesting to look at when I build the next one it will be in more of a state than the first one.

kpnuts · « **Reply #60 on:** April 23, 2017, 12:51:18 AM »

HI all well it's finally done I've posted some pics of the first build just to show the complete difference between them.
Personally I think the more interesting build is the first one (it's by far and away the one I enjoyed the most)

And it's final resting place.

Claymore · « **Reply #61 on:** April 23, 2017, 03:55:00 AM »

Awesome builds my good man. :)

Is that really their final resting place? So sad...

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #62 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:03:15 AM »

Very pretty

kpnuts · « **Reply #63 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:11:34 AM »

Sorry but yep no one I know is interested in them and I have no space for them.

elmayerle · « **Reply #64 on:** April 23, 2017, 02:09:36 PM »

Beautiful final product! It really deserves a place of honor somewhere.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #65 on:** April 24, 2017, 12:07:00 PM »

So cool! The original vehicle & the restoration for the former artist formerly know as Prince, then known as Prince, again.

:) :)

Fantastic, kpnuts, it's really beautiful (bot the 2 CVs are).
How did you obtain those golden decorations?

kpnuts · « **Reply #67 on:** April 26, 2017, 04:04:19 AM »

I got them from the pound shop (they were silver but I sprayed them with candy orange to give the gold effect.

Wow the final effect is great!
Are they metal parts?
If so how did you glue them to plastic?
I have some metallic decorations I would like to apply on the Steampunk car I am currently working on and don't know how to glue them to plastic...

Thanks

Antonio

kpnuts · « **Reply #69 on:** April 26, 2017, 01:31:03 PM »

They are plastic peal and stick

andonio64 · « **Reply #70 on:** April 26, 2017, 07:37:18 PM »

OK Thanks!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #71 on:** April 27, 2017, 06:42:59 AM »

I especially like the pics of the two vehicles, a great study in contrasts!

Nice work!
