T'rantula

[PatW]

Finished today, de-chromed all chrome parts and sprayed satin black. Sprayed body Plasti-Kote Chrome and polished with micro gloss to give alloy polished look. added two home decals on two front aero-foils leaving off lights, added seatbelt decals and kit decals.

Love it! The T'rantula was one of my first models and I still think it's one of TD's best designs. Really like your take on it

Cheers guys, that's the real upside of being retired, no downsides allowed, well over nearly 5 years none so far!

I passed my school exams, in woodwork, metalwork, art and english 50 years ago and been building kits since the age of eight. I had an office based job so no creativity there, and made redundant 4 times and found other jobs totally different, pnuematic engineering, selling insurance, car leasing, warehouse fork lift driver, and postman in a large post based university, so modelling kept my sanity!

I'm constantly looking at art and design (hope to design and build our own house some day, built our own cabin 5 years ago where I do all my 'work')) so these things help when it comes to building kits.
