Morning all. :) Not much modelling done this weekend, the ranges have finally re-opened so I was out punching holes in paper most of yesterday. I did get the swing arm together and fitted to the frame.- Mr Bowcat

Just received some paint from Gravity in Spain for an upcoming build. What was particularly impressive is these left their facility in Malaga at 10.39 yesterday morning, and arrived at my house in London at just after 12.00 today! -
Tamiya Nissan Sklyline GT-R V R34
Morning guys. I got the interior together this weekend. My first try at embossing powder for carpet, it didn't go perfectly, particularly at the rear of the transmission tunnel. I used matt varnish as an adhesive, I think next time I will try PVA. Still, this is just a practice kit so overall...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya Nissan Sklyline GT-R V R34
Morning all :smiling3: Got the underside detail painted and all the running gear installed this weekend. The wheels had been painted semi-gloss black in preparation for a metallic, but I'm thinking the black might look good against the body colour so I'm going to hold off until the shells on...- Mr Bowcat

Morning all. :) I'm staying on the car theme for another build, there are a few more techniques I want to try and nail down, in particular trying to get a better paint job.

Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC
Morning guys :) I spent several hours on the glass frames last night. This was mostly spent polishing the body and putting the masking on, followed by a few minutes of painting and unmasking. First up was using 0.7mm Aizu tape around all of the sections to be painted. The beauty of this thin...- Mr Bowcat
