That is superb Pete. The scribing on the blue foam is fantastic, so even it looks machined....

Hi Tim I wish I could take credit for the scribing it but I'm not that skilled I actually embossed it using wire mesh I did it by accident I had laid some mesh on the foam and then later something on top by mistake so I thought I'll try that.

Morn Pete,

Late in as usual and can hardly believe my eyes! Top scratchery and finery all around Buddy, but what's most fascinating is that you are probably the first person in the world to beat blue foam into submission to get an imprint like that!!!! Too cool...…………….

Hi I've have finished the build stage now just added some bulkhead trim and added two pedals. All the foam was painted with a watered-down PVA glue and all the metal parts primed with Mr metal primer just got to let it dry now.

Thank you for taking the time to look in hope you like it.
Pete.

 

[Tim Marlow]

That is a great idea on the foam....nice execution! Looking splendid now.....

The Sun gauges bring back memories. The blue foam diamond tuck was a master stroke. Great upgrades. Back in the day the Fink only wished he had hooks that sophisticated. Drum brake fade from high speed was only conquered by "lock'in'em'up", aka "slide for life", although street racers & police were usually the only ones to experience it. They also were the ones to experience "brake fluid boiling" on the early disk systems. You guys were way ahead of us on turning & stopping. PaulE

Small update got the hairy stick out and primed all the parts.

Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

Pete, I love the way how you add your own details to these models, the 'interior trim' looks fantastic, very creative with the mesh and blue foam :thumb2:

Hi got my best witches broom out and roughed out and I mean roughed out the main colours.
I'll change my mind on the car colour it's going for gloss black and purple interior.

Thank you for looking in.
Keep safe everyone.
Pete.
