Lumina

[PatW]

Scratchbuilt chassis, painted wheels and body, fitted a difficult rear window, later a front window but both seem to be too big! Most of the Lumina kit was used in a Tradesman truck build last year.

Bit more done. A bit ropy around the windscreen, after continued tries to reduce it'size to get it to fit.

Keep at it, Pat. It's going to look great.

Cheers Mark, now the stickers are on!

A bit opaque on the 46 over the red but all right otherwise, but as stickers very, very fiddly with tweezers! 

[MarkJ]

See, I told you it would turn out great. If you want, you could double up on the white decals that are on top of the red paint.

Thanks Mark I would like to double up the white over red decals, but they are very thin glossy plastic stickers. Test fitted onto the chassis while I think about adding dash, steering and making a roll-cage.

Pat, so are they decals or actually self-adhesive stickers that you have to get right the first time they touch the model?  I could not even attempt something like that. I have to push a decal around forever to get it in the correct location and then use a ton of setting solution to get them to lay down without wrinkles. I'd be pulling what little hair I have left out if I tried those.

Yes Mark they are one touch self adhesive stickers! You have just one choice!

Well then, I applaud your results, Pat. They all look placed perfectly where they should be, and I don't see any wrinkles at all.  Great job.

 Cheers Mark yes the stickers are interesting!

Nearly there! Rollcage in and exhaust attached!

Lots of hard work there Patrick. Looks pretty sharp so far.

Thanks Donato. That's finished that. Pics in the completed section.
