Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC
Evening all. :) I've spent this week getting the rest of the parts cleaned up and painted. Still got a little bit of detail painting to finish up and the seat belts to make, but other than that the interiors ready to go in. I also got the decals on and the clear coat down. This mostly went...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC
Morning guys. :) I did a little bit over the weekend. All of the remaining parts were primed and the body was given a clear coat in preparation for decals. I started these last night and got a few of the big ones down. The decals laid down nicely and seem to have conformed well, although...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC
Morning guys, Small update, I've spent the last week painting the body, chassis and running gear. This took a little while and involved some serious masking. I can now move on to the internal parts.- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC
Hi guys, I just finished up a 80's rally car and decided I wanted to improve my skills, so bought this as it was cheap at less than £20. So far I've just cleaned up the running gear, chassis and body shell, and got it in primer.- Mr Bowcat

1/24 Belkits Opel Manta 400
Morning all. :) Finished this up last night. Nice kit, and I'm generally happy with the result although there were some mistakes. The real car would should be white, but I went with metallic blue as a homage to the Manta GTE I owned when I was 18.- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Morning gents, I got a lot of weathering done over the weekend. This mainly consisted of some light chipping, a darker pin wash around the lumps and bumps, some pigments on the exhausts and some minor streaking. I've held off on applying mud at this stage until I've sorted a base out so that...- Mr Bowcat

Morning Gents :) Just a small update, I detail painted the tools, cables, etc and applied the decals (both of them), then gave everything a gloss coat followed by a filter. Now ready to start weathering.- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Cheers guys. :) Finished off the camo last night, although I still have to paint the dots. The paintwork is quite patchy, I really struggled with the Mission Models paint. Admittedly I have had it a little while, but I wish I'd bought the Hataka lacquer set instead. So, dots next, and some...- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Morning chaps. :) I got the last of the PE bent to shape and fitted last night, this was mainly just the clamps for the tow cables. With these installed I was also able to get the mudguards & fenders fitted, which are precariously stuck in place with CA. I wonder how many times I will knock...- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Morning chaps. :) I've had quite a productive weekend. The new pins arrived and I was able to finish and install the tracks. I tried burnishing fluid for the first time and I'm reasonably happy with the results. There were a quite a few areas on the outer tracks that didn't take, not quite sure...- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Morning guys, I've been working on the tin work some more, both front and rear mudguards are now complete and I have finished one of the side skirts. This went together fairly well, I was just careful to make sure all the angles were the same before gluing the pieces together (I didn't dare try...- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Cheers guys. Started some of the PE over the weekend, brackets for the jack, jacking blocks, etc. Also removed the sprocket guards and glued the upper hull to the lower. I also started work on the PE rear mud guards and decided to push my skills and try soldering for the first time. Now...- Mr Bowcat

Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon
Morning guys. :) I got a little bit more done on this last night. I sanded the seams on all the wheels and added the hubs. Not particularly interesting so I didn't take a pic. Then it was on to the first bit of Zimmerit, the rear panel. This involved hacking off the existing details as it was...- Mr Bowcat
