polished the Zero 2K, and started to wire the engine, it's a bit fiddly! just final assembly now...

wow, that's amazing work!

Hi Dann, I used tamiya white primer, lightly sanded. I'm in 2 minds as to what to do more. I might sand and respray... Or try to coat with tamiya clear, and see if it levels out somewhat... Looking at you tube videos, others do appear to lay quite heavy costs too...

Fantastic!

That's a super clean Landie Mr Mike, great subject!

That weathering really sets it off, great vision!

Sweet build, those wheels really suit it!

Nice weathering, and those really do look like things one would put in the bed of a pick up!

The under hood detail is fantastic, great build!

just to keep the saga going, I was half way through coating with tamiya aerosol, and i dropped it! so I've waitng for it to dry, given it a light sand with 1500 grit & will be painting again tomorrow! this tamiya sray has a very rough finish to it, like fine orange peel. I think I'm spraying too heavy on each coat.

yeah, i've learned a lot through the process, thanks for the chart, it makes sense! One addition - nail polish - diluted with lacquer - doesn't like to stick to tamiya aerosol, it's a mechanical adhesion & chips off really easliy...

Hey Geoff, thank for the link, and this site has an extensive list of decal options. International shipping is extrme through, however, it might be my only shot. I was planning on printing my own decals. price difference: Patto's is £22 Print my own is £5, but would take a lot of effort! I always take a scan of my decals prior to doing a build, just in case I mess somehting up - then I can try to print some more - however, I've never tried to print them before... I'm sure that Pattos will be better than mine! I will try to peel off the exiting decals without damaging the paint. If that works, I might bite the bullet and buy from Pattos If the paint get damaged, I may respray for some decals I can get here. Regardless, the interior is back on the bench! Electronics are in & belts are getting added to the seat, just the frame and camera to add with a bit of cable tidying to do...

Hey, I was in Aachen in Germany, there is a company called E.go it's a fantastic facility, and like an experiment in advanced manufacturing processes. Very interesting trip, and the guys there were very open to sharing what they do...

Thanks Dann and Eric!

great looking pair of 911s!

it's going to look great! keep it coming...

Thanks for the comments Jim, Dann, Sonny & Curtis! It does look OK in the pics, but I guess in real life its a bit patchy, doesn't show in the pictures... Interior tub is done, this is OOB, no details at all, not even belts...! Just wated to get a kit completed!!!!

Thanks Dann, and it's been the best part of 6 months, in limbo with my pending house move, but I have managed to get a few coats of Zero grey, lots of sanding an fillng & finished with a few coats of tamiya white primer - current status is ready for finish paint - it's going to get done today hopefully, I will use tamiya Red aerosol as I have 2 cans of it lying around - those cans have been with my for about 7 years too!

Great build, and I like the colour, similar to a modern Ford performance blue...

Stunning!

Great looking build!

Great builds, keep 'email coming!

Beautiful build!

Same with me Dann, had packed away a lot of my modelling dtuff for a house move that didn't happen, i've unpacked it and made progress over the last month, but now we are going to move again, so it's all going to get repacked! welcome back to the bench "let's git 'em done"

looks like it sits high, but i guess the real ones do! great little build
