  1. I like to read about how people get over issues with kits and plug on with them. Talk about a labour of love! Great work on these.
  2. Thanks for that. That is one gorgeous looking car!
  3. this is something I have yet to try, this is just clear coated. I need to set up a sacrificial piece to practice polishing before I try it on a build. And no, I don't mind you saying this as I will not learn any other way
  4. I think it was me that should never have been a military modeller lol. Thanks for the kind words

    Never used 'Kandy' paints. Does it have to be used over white or was that just your choice? Looks amazing.
  6. Wish I had the confidence, skill and spares box to take on something like this. I feel I will learn a lot just by following it.
  7. Finally got all the little bits done and put it all together, what a gem of a kit.
  8. Thanks again for your kind comments guys, I really do appreciate them.
  9. Thank you, the paint is Mr Hobby H15 Bright Blue gloss acrylic.
  10. Looks great to me, love the colour and the food tray, we don't have anything like that in the UK.
  11. Just beautiful. I am totally in awe of the skill it takes to do something like this.
  12. Thanks for the positive comments guys. Yep, apart from a couple of trucks and bikes before I tried cars it was all green or grey military. The biggest lesson I have learned since retiring last June is patience and building what I like rather than following trends and chasing the latest kits. Now I am happy to take on anything I fancy. Weird thing is, I don't drive and don't have a car so know nothing about them lol.
  13. Thanks Dave, starting to get the hang of it.
  14. Latest project on the bench. I actually bought this kit before I started building cars, it just appealed to me, must have been a couple of years ago. Sorry it isn't the big flash classics that are so popular on here but I like it Box is battered, the instructions are like an old newspaper from the loft and the kit is full of flash. First job was to clean up, prime and paint the body shell and put it to one side to cure while I got on with the delightful chassis and engine. No Hot Rod is it ] Once the body was fully dried, I did a test fit on the chassis. Everything lines up well so I Clear Coated (Zero paints 2K) after adding the green HT leads using .4mm lead wire. Once dried enough I put the body loosely onto the chassis to see how it looked. I will now wait to let the clear coat fully harden before doing a full assembly and then it is on to the small details.
