I started back on this last night. The wheels from the big rig kits were too big for the tire's, causing them to be stretched, plus the rears were too wide for the tire's. 

New ones had to be fashioned out of two sets of wheels. A combination of 1/20 and 1/24.

next up is the repainted of the shell. I've decided to ditch the chrome. I'll be going with the burning ember look similar to how the Batmobile looked at one stage, expect I'll be painting this shell with intent and planning. 

 

Sorry for the split post, I have no idea how this happened.

Recently pulled this back out. I had started this about a year ago. 3 scale inches chopped out of the top. 

Sorry the pics are out of order. 

The top still needs work before final primer. 

Thanks for looking in. 

Thanks for sharing. It's from people like you that I learn. Love the frame!

I am back on this for the next week. I am hoping to have it ready for a show next Saturday.

Going a different direction with the body paint then planned, no real surprise there eh. The new plan is starting to come together in my mind, still figuring out the tape lay up.

I decided to do a license plate head liner, side walls, and floor.  

I used ever plate in my decal stash and then I had to go rummage through my kit stash to find another 10-12 more. I ended up used about 75 license plate decals. A few plates on the floor need to be stuck down better in a few spots. 

For the paint scheme I spent a few hours last night making up a bunch of ultra narrow masking.

Some of the tape is 0.39mm some is 0.15mm. To aid in working with the ultra narrow masking I sprayed it a couple colours so I will be able to see when/if it flips over. 

I  also tried my hand at making up some tucked interior 'fabric' for the seat and door cards. Not sure if I will be using it. Also messing around with some paint scheme ideas.

Finally got this paint design going in some sort of direction. Thinking of a metallic brown top coat. I also cut some more tape and rolled it up in a different method that works much better then my original method. The old method was too taxing to find the ends. Cutting and spooling this tiny tiny tape is sooooo time consuming but very rewarding. Anyone else cut their own tape? 

Not sure if the fluorescent orange and brown will be too much of a contrast or not.

Thanks Dann. I started cutting my own a couple years ago when the available  masking in ultra narrow widths was junk and the edges were not crisp. Plus working with the available stuff was a nightmare, always breaking, and not very good at holding a tight radius without lifting. 

Plus I can cut mine WAY narrower then this stuff.

This stuff has it's place but not for crisp tight lines.
