Your getting there Ken. Engineering challenges are my favourite part of custom scale modelling. Keep up the good work, it's looking good. 

Cheers, David. ??

Been busy @ my 3 jobs. Finally found some time today to work on the Prius. 

Finished making the tubs, and backseat back(not my best work). The pan is coming along too. Here's a couple pics.

It's been awhile since I've been able to work on this lil jem. Too many real live projects, but I'm back on it.

I watched a ytube vid, think it was DYC, DYP(??) or something like that. They threw powder pearls over a black base then clear coated it, and I knew that was it! Though I thought if it looked so good over black, why not white. It doesn't give it that "galaxy" look, as the black did.

Well.... no!

I'm going to mock it back up and take a good look at it for awhile. We'll see where we go from there.

Enough of my bantering

Finally found time to work on the Prius and didn't take pics of the progress. 

Painted it twice. The first looked like an Easter egg and I'm pretty happy with the second.  Need to sand & polish, black out the trim and get the lights installed.20230401_225522.thumb.jpg.90543264dd1e49aae1ba2af4fc9e1bdc.jpg20230401_225509.thumb.jpg.63795a268f50d93d159ec49072545e21.jpg20230604_124119.thumb.jpg.3ec22b6b4279dd2398f0751226271563.jpg20230604_124056.thumb.jpg.8fd503ef0d372289f186e871cb1aac50.jpg20230604_013715.thumb.jpg.c19bcd2257acf5d15ab148cb2ba77b7f.jpg20230604_013651.thumb.jpg.f774f657f11b93bf9189b4e3940b9a7d.jpg
