  7. I love the weathering of he engine and its compartment, it's fantastic I love too the paint of the body: a faithfull mirror ! The contrast between the factory aspect of the body and the weathering of the engine is striking: I think the "chauffeur" did'nt raise the hood

  12. Hi Cato Do you know it's possible to plating or chroming yourself at home with some products you can buy, for instance, on that site: http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-paint-coating-electroplating/automotive-electroplating.html You need the common plating module, and the Super Bright Chrome Like Plating kit....It costs 114 sterling pounds, so approximatively 150 USD,without the shipment. I'm probably going to buy it soon

  16. Hello Harry I just join this forum but I read your posts since a few weeks Mouting this chain seems to be a hard and painful job, but on other forums, a few modellers have fullfilled it. For instance, il you read german, this one, post 52: http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=55952&pageNo=2&s=0fffefc4853473d50cd1adf573e286fea2cd07d0 The guy uses a micro soldering iron and probably an high power magnifier. I've bought the Mefistofele kit, and I'll begin it once achieved my Pocher Bugatti, in several months And I'm wooried about the chain mounting, too
  17. Hello, happy models builders First I want to apologize for my bad and literal english. I'm a french citizen leaving between Tours and Poitiers, and in the true life, I'm a physician, general practionner precisely. I build models here and there, since my ten, and the quite last one I bought, 26 years ago, when my second son was born, is a Pocher Bugatti Coupé de Ville. I start the assembly, with the tools and the poor reference documents avaiilable (for me) at that time, but abandonned it in 1992, when I move my family in Richelieu's town, to practise as rural district doctor. And I leaved the poor chassis gather dust and rust on its shelf during this years............ sorry, sorry, really a pity ! Recently, the modeller in me aweked of his sleepiness, and first, I disassembled entirely the car, bought sets of tools, storage boxes, a compressor, an airbrush, Tamiya and Alclad paints, etc, and overall I researched documentation, ideas, help, and samples of achievements of this model. AND I FOUND THIS FORUM....WONDERFUL !! I read you, an I think I made good use of your photos, explanations, advises, tips and tricks...and for that, I'm grateful . In my next posts, I'll try to put pictures of my Bugatti, with some special details.... Thanks to accept me among this group
