It's all good

Bit of a wait but finally got the top coat on (Humbrol white gloss) and some of the black parts.

Unless I'm going blind, you seem to have missed off my 007 Lotus submarine...

That's weird, how about now?

Finally started this. Primed, then started on the interior. It looks pretty good although took a bit of sanding to fit some of the parts, instrument panel decal took a little work and a lot of micro sol but then I always seem to have this issue with decals in Japanese kits. Need to give the boot space another coat, looked at the shots of the real car in the film and there was a bit of tartan in between the seats on the backwall, but I thought I'd leave it as it's not going to be seen clearly anyway. I stupidly had an incident with the steering wheel where I left it on the side to dry and one of the cats (or maybe Blofeld's?) had a chew, but it looks okay all things considering.

Have loved this car since seeing THE SPY WHO LOVED ME as a kid, still have both Corgi die-cast scales. Am planning to add a small bit of diorama after the main build, dependent on that goes, but the kit seems nice enough, Fujimi 1/24.

I have a Bandai in the box, so depending on how long the Esprit takes me, I may do one myself.

There has been a LEGO version in desert colours, based on a prototype "Sandspeeder" that was made by Kenner Toys but never produced. Looking forward to this, I love T-47s.

The Lotus Esprit submarine from THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. Fujimi 1/24.

Just waiting for my kit to arrive and I can get it started.

Thanks Dennis

I'd love to join, fancy making something from the world of 007...

I got my "it's in stock" email today and payment has been taken but no dispatch note yet. Fingers crossed tomorrow.

Fantastic build from a fantastic film.

Amazing. Did you prime any of it before painting?
