I can't choose which one I like best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for Testors gloss geeen since you announced the build. No luck yet maybe they discontinued that color... I like the background of the photos too nice detail...

They're metal transfer stickers I bought on ebay. Evidently there is a big market for high end Transformers figures but most haven't licensed the logos so they're sold separately.

Pete75 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Lotus Esprit - The Spy Who Loved Me This is a £50 piece of sprue: Discovered much too late it was missing from the first Fujimi kit. However, I'm determined to get to the start line, so I went to order a second; anyone else noticed prices have risen post Covid?! Anyway, the kit finally arrived from Italy today. I'm taking the opportunity to redo the body too as I wasn't happy with #1, and this time it has has white primer on, not grey, after some bad advice I took before!! "Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr Bond. I expect you to primer your car in the right colour!" Edited October 26, 2020 by Pete75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheyenne93 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) So have gotten back to the Marked for death mustang. Got interior done, chasis painted, and engine pretty much done. Painted the wheels again, as I noticed in a pic of the actual car they are gray not black. Carpeted the floors and rear shelf. Hope to get it done in time. I am trying to get my He shed set up as well. Thanks for lookin and any comments are welcome. Edited October 31, 2020 by cheyenne93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconovaman Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hey folks... I'd thought I'd post these photos of my latest attempt at building Star cars. These are not my CBR entries...just for inspiration... I built these for the local club challenge for last month, theme was Halloween... These two are from the Netflix series Stranger Things... I hope these will inspire everyone to finish strong with your own screen car builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete75 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Lotus Esprit S1 - The Spy Who Loved Me Very nearly there. She's on her feet & most of the black detailing is done on the body, but I ran out of masking tape. When I signed up in January I didn't think I'd be still toiling in November!!

cheyenne93 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Got the mustang in primer. It came with no fan shroud, so took one from an 80s mustang and adapted it to it. The engine is a 351C from a pinto kit, because the 351 that comes in the kit is ?! Added exhaust tips. Get paint on it soon ?.
