rs2man started following Advice on Flocking material

I have no idea why , but it appears that flocking powers are used on women's fingernails . If you search "Velvet flocking powder" on Ebay , you'll find a vast range of colours , available very cheaply .

PK-303 Porsche 917-10 Here's my fourth completion of this Group Build , the 1/32 Porsche 917-10 Can Am racer . With the exception of a little boxing in of the cockpit area , seatbelts, plug leads and a set of decals from Indycals , it was OOB . Paints were a mix of Halfords , Tamiya , Alclad , Humbrol and Vallejo .- 167 replies

This is true , but the kit is missing both instructions and decals , so isn't quite the bargain it seems . -
40382 Austin Healey 100-6 . Finished
rs2man replied to rs2man's topic in Matchbox 50th Anniversary Group Build
Gentlemen , many thanks for your most generous comments . Incidentally , I knew that the Healey was an old kit , but it wasn't till I looked it up on Scalemates that I realised it was first issued in 1958 !!! What an amazing kit it must have been back then . -

A little more progress with the Porsche. I masked and sprayed the rollover hoop white , then added the pre-painted seats and battery . I could find no car seatbelts in 1/32 so I bought an Airwaves etched set for an F-4 Phantom , which look the part when sprayed red . Wheels have been painted and then matt varnished to take the edge off the chrome and the tyres have been decalled and matt varnished to seal the decals in . The wheels are only fitted temporarily as the suspension still needs detail painting . Finally , and barely visible in this shot , I picked out all the moulded-on pipework in the engine bay with a black Sharpie .
