That looks great mate, the effort has paid off there and is a very realistic finish. Really looking forward to more,. You should post this on scale plastic cars too.

Where's that then?

Well. Thats it my airbrush has given up. The o rings have dissolved, i guess i should have expected that using the types of paint i have been using also the airbrush cleaner probably hasnt helped. Anyone know where i can get a teflon o ring kit? Or i might just buy a better airbrush. Or i could repair this and keep for acrylics only. And have a nice new airbrush solely for the nasty paint

Sorry for lack of work. Since no airbrush no work. My secular work has been ridiculous and jusr havent had time. Hopefully i will in a few weeks

Did you get your ab fixed? I would easily recommend an h&s as they strip down so easily and parts are cheap and easy to get

Naah just bought another cheapie airbrush for now. 


Ok im back on the model. Done the Base coat for the leather. Next is a satin finish just to make the leather look realistic and a black pinwash. And then start on the detail. 


Rear brakes to do this week. So thats the next instalment.

This is looking very nice Marc, love the interior.

Watching this with interest. There is a lot of work going into preparing the body that I am sure will help to make a spectacular model.

Magnificent work there bub!

 

[Marc Stock]

Ok interior is done. Cant be bothered with pedals or rear speakers or handbrake you just can't see them anyway. Just wanting to get this complete now for next build. 


Just got rear brakes to do and wheels and that's it. 


Been a bit of a drag this one. Its quite a frustrating kit this because it could be so much better. Never mind.
