  1. That is looking awesome. What are your plans for the big chrome exhaust pipes that this car is just screaming for! Nick
  2. It was indeed a big pile of ...
  3. Well they might not if you actually did ask...😋
  4. Hi Tommy Thanks for your comments! Cracking looking GT. Would be interesting to see how the rosso letto colour would look as a two part paint. Cheers Nick
  5. Looking good Ned. The only thing is I am just wondering if the two parts look too separated if that makes sense. I'm just wondering if some bracing or some sort of structure between the nose and the rest of the body would make it look more convincing. Only my two pennies worth! Nick
  6. Stunning paint work and great detailing in the engine bay! Nick
  7. I had enough trouble doing the foiling on my Cadillac door cards and they weren't even attached to the interior tub. Great work. Nick
  8. See now I see your build and think: I need to have a go at something crazy like that! 😄 Must be quite liberating not having instructions to follow! Looking forward to the next installment of "Pimp my 2CV!" Nick
  9. Thanks guys! I can't take any credit for the colour as that is one of the Aventador ones. Glad you like it! 😊 Nick
  10. Morning all It is done! Last few steps were an absolute pain. The door fitment is just awful... I managed to break one of the wing mirrors when fitting it and snag one of the windscreen wipers when giving it the car a final polish. ðŸ˜Ą. I also need to be more careful when handling the body after polishing as I left a few scuffs and scratches when adding the extra body panels,etc... So those issues have been fixed as much as I dare to fix them without causing more problems! Better is the enemy of good as they say. Here's a few pics taken with my mobile so apologies for the quality... I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to get some more decent photos for the RFI post. Once again a big thank you to all who accompanied me on this journey. This has been a fun one and it certainly was interesting having the detail up set which I think has made some improvements especially where the grills are concerned. Thanks for looking, Nick
  11. That is going to be one mini with attitude when it's finished! Cracking work on the mods. 👏👏 Nick
  12. Good idea but no.🙂 I used Tamiya panel Line black and used enamel thinner and a thin cotton bud to tidy up the raised areas. I was a bit concerned about the thickness of the pain with respect to the thinness of the PE. Nick
  13. Afternoon all Slowly but surely... Not long to go now. Thanks for looking, Nick
  14. I'd be more than chuffed with a 3-foot model. At 1:24 scale that's just under 4cm...😋 Nick PS: the tyres look great. I personally think you are being quite harsh with yourself IMHO.
  15. Your couldn't be more right Spiny. Some of the screws are absolutely tiny... Nick
  16. Morning all Thank you very much for the comments and reactions. 😊 Slowly plodding along. Bits being added to the body work. All the glass is in. The rear light fittings were an absolute pain to put in. Just did not fit. Very surprised as this kit has been really good. Still some gaps I need to glue down. And I've just realised I didn't go over the edges with a black Sharpie... ðŸ˜Ą And another pic. And a reason why progress has not been as much as it could have been... 😄 Yep new hobby. Hopefully you guys approve. There's wheels, it's mechanical, lots of polishing to do, lots of tools to need and in terms of spending money the overdraft is the limit! ðŸĪĢ. Downside is most "kits" are already build so you need to take them apart before putting them back together. Oh and yeah no instructions! I know, who in their right mind would go into a hobby such as that! ðŸĪŠ Thanks for looking, Nick
  17. Our dear Dolly has been on this earth 19 years and 17 of those years were with us. She's been with us so long she is literally part of the furniture I'll get my coat and show myself out Nick
  18. A Japanese muscle car is on the bucket build list and the nismo version is top choice at the mo! Another stunning model 👏👏 Nick
  19. My son built a similar one from ugears. They are good fun to build. On the assumption you didn't bring you 3d printer to Montreal then I believe you..😋 Nick
  20. Stunning Mustang and kudos for doing all the chrome work with a hairy stick! Nick
  21. Morning all Small amount of progress over the last couple of weeks. Bits and bobs are being added to the body. And the PE wipers are done. Those were fiddly! They still need a second coat of paint on this pic. Starting to look like a car! Thanks for looking, Nick
  22. Fab I use those followed by the Tamiya compounds. Nick
  23. Thanks Andy. Give it a go! I'd personally start with the roof and that is generally nice and flat(ish!). Apply very little pressure let the sanding paper/micro mesh do the job. Dry with paper towel frequently to see how you ar getting on. Sorry hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs! 😊 Nick
  24. Thanks very much all! Yep neither can I! 😄. I did ponder using your very good idea of masking the edges but there's quite a lot and some are quite close together. In the end I used a fairly narrow strip of sanding sheet to ensure I could easily control where that was in relation to the edges Nick
