I was just thinking I said I don't think I'm half way through it yet, I just remembered I'm putting it in a dio so make that 1/4 way through it.

It's going to be parked either out the back of a house in Paris adorned with the cross of lorraine and the tricolour or a shed or garage being loaded up with molotov cocktails grenades and such ready for a French resistance raid.


Oh and I was going to try and get a copy of the fallen Madonna with zee big boobies to put on the rear seat.

I wonder if I could get away with 1/6 action man scale, I've seen an action man bicycle on ebay.
 
I think if for instance the bicycle was in the back of the garage say with a sheet over the handlebars or partially covered or something like that I think you could get away with this ( I have a vision in my head of this dio with the Citroen and a few wine bottles with the odd cotton wool in, a few crates in the garage a pushbike in the back the odd toolbox ( sorry I'll stop.


Great work Ken

That's pretty much my vision plus a few guns, can't find any 1:8 figures so may have to draw them.

This is excellent, it looks more like a restoration project than a kit build, amazing work.
 
Just caught up on this one Ken and your doing a great job. Everyone can see the size and problems your having with it but your getting over them very well. Great work looking forward to many more updates.

Hi all well I've made a decision but I need your help. Citroen have not come up with the colour code for the paint i want so the colour is changing (means carpet colour change (bit of a bummer)) so the wings and main body will be black but the two tone will be either red, white, cream or grey ( don't know how to set a poll so just say red,white,cream or grey)
 
Cream would look nice against the black paintwork ( something a little special ) well this is defo special Ken.


I agree with other comments looks more like restoration than a kit build.


Also think when it's finished you should send Citroen some pics I'm sue they be proud eh


Ps looking fantastic but then again I think we all think this eh

From the sublime (yours) to the ridiculous (mine) :) and to think I was happy with my little 1/48. Seriously excellent work

I think it's fabulous, it's certainly got a lot of charm about it, and it is 1/48, detail is a lot easier on such a huge scale.
 
Cracking work on the body panels Ken ( love the rising effects your acheiving


Splendid work


It's coming along nicely
