More work on this.

Hi all more work on the Cobra.
I decided to ditch the carbs (too much wrong with them )
The kit comes with fuel injection as an option I thought I would go with that, tbh a don't know which is worse, still I'm stuck with it now, hopefully I can improve on what the kit supplied (still won't be anything like accurate but maybe look interesting.
-
More work on the Alfa.
-
OK 2 more coats of stain (one more I think would do it)
Got the inside stained, got the electrics in.
And importantly somewhere to hang the dressing gowns
Our friend is coming round tomorrow (he owns a flooring business)
To put some 1/4 inch ply on the floor and half way up the wall then cover it with vinyl.
-
A great start.

Yes some parts it gives you 2 choices of colour other places it says nothing ( and some of them are quite large parts) the diff and rear axle for instance no colour cal, out at all.
I will be using jay lenos replica (if you look on YouTube there is a video of him unboxing it) also there are loads of YouTube videos of it in various colours.

Hi all time to start this Christmas present
-
OK so the decals on this went weird so masked it and Sprayed it myself.
-
The moulding of the body had runs in it (almost as if the plastic had run) the tyres were the worst representation of rubber I've ever seen) there are countless other problems with the kit and it's all down to cheap manufacturering techs and cheap materials.
-
No the revell ex protar kit (purely down to revells using the cheapest production and materials) as when italari release protar kits they are in another league.
-
More done to the hot tub cabin.
Those dors took 3 hrs to fits they didnt bind or catch anywhere (I'm sure when the weight of the glass is in them I will have to re adjust again) loads more to do yet but the bulk of it is done now. -
Hi all well its finished.Not a great kit but bought for a bargain price so I can't really complain its a lot of kit for the money I paid(even though the materials and quality are pretty rubbish)And the real 1/1 Ferrari engine is finished at work.

Nearly done just the rear light and a few decals to add.
-
Well they're done, given time I could have spent ages on them but they've got to fully cure then I've got to pack them back in the game and wrap it up.
I'm pleased I got them done in time and I think to a standard an 8 Yr old will appreciate (even if she is a real brain box and way ahead of all the other kids in her class) seriously you should see her school reports (I'm especially proud of the statement of her school head saying "Megan's manners are impeccable"
That girl is awesome and so kind.
-
Well there are a few more done.
-
-
Thanks Tom.
-
Hi all well nearing completion.
Got the roof on
And the floor
And the doors (although they need some tiffeling)
-
This is as far as I got before rain stopped play, looking forward to tomorrow.
There was a bit of swearing involved doing the door frame, I was holding 2 bits together and screwing at the same time (with a cordless screwdriver) and I mast have had so of the skin of my finger in-between the 2 bits of wood and when they pulled together they squashed that skin (that was very painful. -
More done on these, I'm really enjoying this.
-
I could really get into this, I have to keep reminding myself this is for an 8 year old and she won't appreciate subtle shading and weathering, oh how I would love to go to town on those wolves (I'm calling them wolves I don't know if that's what they are) I could take the seam lines out but I'm on a tight schedule, and anyway they are cleverly molded where the creatures are stitched together (a lot of kit manufacturers could take lessons from the way these are molded I've only found 1 release pin mark and unless you were looking for it you wouldn't see it.

Hi all well I'm quite enjoying this. In the game play and the instructions there are pictures of the 6 main characters but not much of the protagonists which is why there are so many different colours of the other characters (other people are having the same problem as me) so I've decided any I can't find official colours of I'm going to do as colourful as possible.
I've got to say it's quite a morbid game the characters (even the goodies) are quite gothic.
