while waiting for the clear to cure, i did some work on the interior. the nitros bottle brackets were made from pewter and detailed with etched bolts. also made from pewter were the brake and accelerator pedals. the therest of the pedal assembly was made from the kits door hinge. the seat belt material is bandage with various etched hardware. the material will have to be tidied up as there are a number of stray fibres that i need to be rid of. i got a set of micro magnets today, and used with steel pins, these will be used to keep the doors and boot lid closed.

i'm pretty sure that e-magnets ship internationaly, failing that, google up micro magnets, thats how i found them.

i fashioned a fuel cell from chemiwood with a small rod for the pipe which was drilled out. i will add a petrol cap later which will turned. i ran out of Alclad so used Baremetal to chrome the cell and added two strips of pewter.

I would have been happy with the first base coat of shiny paint! But adding the metalflake and clear has brought it up to a whole new level.

Great work throughout the build.

Marvelous work.

Two questions. Exactly what bandage material are you using and where are you getting the pewter? Something that flexible, I can think of lots of uses for.

Hello Steve, As usual, IMPRESSIVE!!!! Love all the details, the nitrious bottle is killer.

The paint came out great B):)

the bandage is just fabric sticking plaster and the pewter was obtained from when i worked on Batman Begins. i'm sure you will find it in sheets on the internet. well its now complete. wheel nuts were added and the magnets were put in the boot lid, front end and doors along with steel pins. a Scale Repros Plus mirror was added and a British number plate (taken from a photo in Custom Car magazine) was fixed to the rear pan.
