Still a fair amount to do and I'm not totally happy with it so far but meh, its fun.

Cheers

:D
 
The kit comes moulded in grey and black. Used Halfords car paints and some Tamiya acrylics. Used Vallejo acrylics for the detail stuff. Itys not as polished as I'd like but hopefully i'll get better. Yeah, Tamiya seem to be the most equal of the kit manufacturers :D
 
I love making these things but I can't paint to save my life... do you spray these instead? I can do that half decently, it's just using brushes I can't od!
 
LOL trying to reply on my touch :) halfords spray paints are really easy to use. Just spray them lightly and build up the layers. I have very small brushes :) that carrier model is the dogs.
 
thats looking very good from here, the main thing is get the body nice and polished when painted, really would make it stand out and take away the focus from any imperfections in the detail painting.
 
Looking good! , I'm really liking the aluminium surround on the dash and the red seat lining, excellently done :)
 
I think that looks very smart. I so wish I had some time to continue model building but i've got a lot of other stuff in my life to sort before i can invest time to building model cars.

Detail in the interior is looking very sharp, good work so far. Keep it up.
