[Guest]

Haha

I'm liking this! Might get one myself if a normal 1/24 model will fit under its cover

 

[Guest]

Hi tone, yep a 1/24 car will fit depending what it is, my custom E-Type fits ok even with the flared arches, but my skyliner is a tight fit & the wing mirrors stick out so you can't put the top on.

Slow start on this one still don't know what i'm going to do or how i'm going to paint it, all i do know is i'm not having the screen lift open i'm going to cut the doors out & side windows & make then into gull wing doors.

Me thinks a little re-work is called for major bad fit.

[Guest]

Thanks for that John

coming along nicely, I'm sure you'll soon get the fit sorted

 

[Guest]

That will do, still can't think what colour to paint it !!.

[Guest]

good job on that John!

Who are we to argue how they 'cast' stuff lol

Pink!?

Hmmm, not so sure haha, maybe a 50/60's pastel or metallic.....

Ford Roman Bronze???

 

[PaulTRose]

SWMBO wants me to paint it pink.

pink would look great, especially if it was a metal flake, or something like a dark cerise type pink

thing is youve then got to think what you are going to put inside this cos if its not a colour that compliments pink its going to look horrible, it would need to be something similar or another pastel shade, imho

A nice metallic or two tone paint work would look nice John. A very interesting build going on as well

I have so lost the plot with this one, sat down last night & had a re-think.

I have decided to turn it into a UAV (Urban Assault Vehicle).

I din't know how but i'm going to have fun doing it.
