Thanks so much that's a huge help!!!

My kits missing instructions and I'm struggling where this fits?

I've paused my Camaro for now as come up against a few issues with wheel arches. So while I figure that out I've pulled out a charity shop find. It's missing the photo etch parts and also a wheel. So I'll source some nice 1:43 wheels from elsewhere. The body is a bit battered so I'll practice some filling and reshaping on this. I'm going to make it a racer but not sure what car yet. What I am starting with

I decided to add the ECD 400's white around the nose and also tried with my shakey hands to add the silver bonnet trim. Again I'm now thinking masking tape should have been used but this will now be a bench mark for my next build and learning more for the bigger projects I have in mind. I may order some decals and turn it into a sort of racer as I plan to just do racers.

I'm still playing around with some airfix kits as scrap cars to work out a good brush painting technique. Although I nipped outside and spray painted 1 of them just so I could have at least 1 kit under my belt! I hope to get withing a quarter of Pierre's mastery of a brush.

Nice build, the underside looks great and like a car should! I'm a long way of trying that sort of detail

That colour looks great, bet it stands out on a shelf!

This is my first build I've finished and not thrown to one side. A lot went wrong, a lot was learned, a lot will be done better next time. But felt good to finish a model, this is an old mould and had lots of fit issues. I gave up blending the side (base to top of body) and realise that I could of done some more wet and dry to remove the sanding marks from filling sink holes. This was going to be the Oulton Park, first e type winner 'ecd 400' but I realised the roof is just a textured hard top and nothing like the real cars soft top. Everything is out the kit except I made some light housing out of an old birro pen after seeing a nother build do it. I'm using these starter kits to learn on before going back to a more complicated Camaro project. I have another e type that I'll take my learning from this one to do better. (I lost the indicators)

That blue looks great

That looks superb

I'm still practicing after your advise, Looking real good so far

That's a lovely looking e type

This has come out looking fantastic!!! Great looking car

Great looking build, nice work

Nice work on the grill, an oddity on this racer. Still love that grandsport

Wow that looks incredible

is this something that happens a lot in model making? Best keep an eye out

That looks great!!!

That looks great, really enjoy the intercontinental challenge

Beautiful work so far!

Been playing around with some paint pens, This is stock door cards but good practice for when finally do the real cards. The firewall is the one I'll install on the build

That's one hell of an engine

Very nice, love the details and front looks great!!!

That looks great!!! Blue coral car is one I'd love to try do
