Superb build, I like your idea of using the chocolate wrapping for the gold trim, I've got a few of these in the stash, I'll be starting one as soon as I've decided on the colour scheme.

Absolutely superb build Matt, might have been out of your comfort zone, but you pulled it off, stunning......

Very nice and clean build

Very nice build, how does one build 3 models in two months ?? Takes me longer than that to decide on the colour I'm going to paint just one model.....

New bodyshell arrived from Round2, the hood,grille and windshield have been sent in a different package, hopefully I'll have them soon, the second photo shows the difference between the early Lindberg body and the later corrected bodyshell.

I had thought about fixing in the subframe in place before I paint it, thanks for the heads up, I've got 8 models on the back-burner, hopefully the spraybooth and compressor will be going into the new workshop in the next few weeks, then I can crack on with my modelling.

I knew about the "Flat Floor" E Types, I wasn't sure on the dates, or how many were produced, speaking to an E Type specialist early gave me this information, About 2,000 E-types were built before the floorpans were extended, and it’s thought that only 631 of these were right-hand drive; just 175 are reckoned to have been coupes

Simply superb, that paintwork is flawless

Not that I need another Land Rover, but I spotted this on eBay, I popped in an offer of £18, ($25) which was accepted, arrived this morning via UPS.

One line of paints Revell did back in the 1990's were their Car Metallics, luckily I still have a few tinlets left, I'm still wondering why they stopped making them,or were they only available in Germany?? I picked them up when I was working over there.

I use both Humbrol and Revell enamel paints, i haven't used their water based acrylics, so I can't comment on those, although Revell haven't the range that Humbrol have, but they do have some different colours, they airbrush really nice, either thinned with lacquer thinners or their Color mix, although their metallic colours don't work well with lacquer thinners, Humbrol are true enamels where Revell's are a synthetic enamel, I haven't found a better gloss black than Revell's thinned with lacquer thinners.

I've been using Tamiya clear acrylic to do all my light lenses, airbrushed @ around 15 psi, seems to work for me.

Wheels have been tweaked a little, and tyres have been doing in 3D printing, the fit to the kit locating axle has been redesigned so it fits better, they should be sent for resin casting soon,I'll be building a Swedish Gti Special (Swedish Pirelli edition) using the 3D printed wheels, the Snowflake wheels were factory fitted instead of the Pirelli wheels, the headlamp washers are included in the Cabriolet kit that I won't be using on the Cabriolet I'm building at the moment.

Hopefully I'll get my hands on the later AMT version, my go to UK AMT stockist have them on backorder, I'll finish this one, but I'd rather have one with all the correct parts.

Haven't had a lot of time in the last few days to spend much time in the hobby room, but today I got the wheel covers and front grille, Tamiya Black panel line accent made short work of those, rear lamp housings were done using Tamiya clear red and a very fine brush. Now a question about the wheel covers, there's a lip around the edge, which I take it is the actual wheel rim, but looking at different photos of Honduras red, some have the edge painted black, while others have them in body colour, which is correct for a factory finish ??

Sent him a message earlier this evening, here's his response Geoff-Thank you for contacting me and I do appreciate that we have worked together in the past. I have stopped shipping worldwide due to many orders not reaching the destination or were returned to me altogether, leaving me out the cost of the merchandise and the shipping fees.I am willing to try filling orders on a case by case basis. I didn’t know that you would not be able to see my listings. I don’t know if you are using ebay.com or a local version of ebay to Europe. This is a link to my store listings on ebay.com and hopefully this will help you out.https://www.ebay.com/str/bestmodelcarpartsI am also sending a product list of sorts of my 1/24-1/25 scale gauges, and I can do something similar for the license plates and larger scale gauges if you would like. Once we work out what you would like to order, I can set up a special listing for you. Overseas shipping with tracking is $15.Thanks, Michael

Superb build, very clean and great work with the 3D printed parts.

Thanks for the heads up, I totally forgot about that, I've sent an email to my contact @Round 2, hopefully he'll put those parts in with the bodyshell, i know they wouldn't have sent the bodyshell out yet,

To be fair to the seller, the model was still factory sealed, I got a partial refund off the seller, which I used to get a replacement bodyshell sent over from Round 2.

We'll just have to see what Revell are going to do with the body, again the talk of the re-tooling came from an unofficial source, but usually knows what's going on, hopefully after talking to my contact at Revell in Germany on and off for the last few weeks, the red styrene should be history, from what I can take from my conversations with them, is that the actual moulding is done by a third party based in Poland.

Superb build, I don't build Hotrods, but I'd love to find one this side of the pond.
