Great job Snake!

I've been busy with the Testarossa, painting more slats and grilles (never again) and adding the rest of the parts. The only thing I needed to add to the interior was the rear screen.

One of the last jobs was to make a replacement mounting panel for the tail lights as the original had gone missing last century. I was able to use some styrene sheet to make something close to the orginal.

A coat of satin black and it was ready to be fitted.

Once that was done it was just a case of fitting the body and adding the exhaust tips.So, after 25 years, I finally gotter done!

I'll try not to leave it so late next time but there's nothing like a tight deadline to focus the mind. 🙂

Looking good Tom. It's probably it's the lighting but it looks a darker shade of red than it did in the earlier pics.  

I've managed to get five stalled builds over the line in the last four rounds that would probably still be in their boxes if the BOYD didn't exist. Who knows how many I'd have got done if I'd joined in at the beginning.

You don't know how pleased and proud I am when I hear something like that from one of you guys. :D

Okay!  Pushing it across the finish line!   Still a few things I’ll go back and add. Then I can glue the body to the chassis.

Otherwise, mission accomplished!  After 25 years of hanging out, I’m amazed to see it sitting there!

Looks sharp.

Some better pics of the Ferrari.

As you can see the tail lights are barely visible between the slats so I could probably have gotten away with not fitting them. 

Now, what to pick for the next round?

Nice Tim!  Seems red is popular today!

Thanks Tom. My completions for the last three rounds have been either orange or red so I'll see if I can find something a different color for the next round.

The Bad Medicine looks cool Dave, don't think I've seen one in black before. As it was finshed a few days late for the last round does this make it the first completion of this round?

I'm in for this round, subject still to be decided.

I am, with the Supermodified. It will surely get finished, this round. I think I came in, late, this round,  anyway, as I was finishing the Mack, when this round started.
