Michaelvk Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Finally managed to finish this one, with a few stumbles toward the end. I tried out a host of new techniques and materials on this thing and am pretty happy with the result. Another thing I'm fairly happy with is I can now get rid of the ginormous box cluttering up the apartment. The only addition was a set of belts, some engine detailing and some nylon thread static dischargers. So without further ado, I give you the pictures..

Michaelvk Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Goodness me that's a cracker Can I ask how long you took as the level of detail is amazing Cheers Pat Thanks! I'm not quite sure, but definitely a long time, considering the techniques I used, using hairspray for chipping and modulating the paint fading.
