I've literally dusted off the completed assemblies, re-organized my work space, and am restarting the build. More posts to follow.

Huckleberry75 - I could not agree more. I've assembled mine with the color specified in the kit, right or wrong. It has contrast with the surrounding parts which I like. A bit off from reality, likely. Malc, thanks for the pics. I agree, much more on the gray side than brown.

Well said.

You are rocking this build! Keep it up and keep posting. https://www.amazon.com/TESTORS-8869-Masking-Assortment-TESR8869/dp/B007KMW5NQ This is a link for Testors masking tape. It's a pack of 3 different widths. I'm sure you can find it locally. Makes turns and curves MUCH easier with a crisp clean edge. Use this on the line and then use larger width tape for the reminder. Every build is a learning experience. I've done something new or tried new techniques on all my builds. Your work is excellent! Keep it up.

Martin - Another masterpiece. Who cares if it actually works, it's AWESOME!

Nice build. Their advertising in the states included the phrase "The shape of things to come". I wanted one desperately. A rich kid at my high school had one. I secretly hated him. Very cool car and build.

That's freaking tiny, wow!!! Best livery in racing. Very cool build.

This might have been helpful... albeit on a MUCH smaller scale. I really appreciate you posting so much of the "how to" of your work. I think to myself, "Hmmm..., I can do that" (with lots of practice). I just never thought enough "outside the box" (get it???). Awesome work and thank you for posting! JCH

I thought you were posting reference pics of the real bike. DAMN that's good! Amazing work! JCH P.S. I ordered some Uschi metal powder. Thanks!

Ahhh, just a BIT of an improvement. Will be watching and looking forward to the final product. Be sure to include the "before" pics with the final reveal.

Doh! IMO, no. Sand the orange peel down completely and polish. Hood (bonnet) looks great!

Really nice build. I like the 6 x 9's on the rear deck. Great paint finish and excellent color choice.

Digital eyes can be a PITA. IMHO that's superb.

Picture timestamps 3:31 AM... 3:34 AM... 4:13 AM... That burning way past midnight. Ridiculously fabulous work! Wow, just wow. Wow. Wow. Ahhh, wow!
