Afternoon all, Well, after about 11 years this thing is finally done. I bought it in a Modelzone sale back then and started it more of less straight away, but over the years I thought it was doomed to ever get finished. It's been at least 7 different colours and been stripped and repainted probably about a dozen times. I just couldn't find a colour I liked on it and kept changing my mind. Then when I did find a colour I really liked - Pebeo craft actylic metallic purple I messed up the clear coat on it three times. That was in the middle of the first lockdown and I'd run out of the paint and couldn't get any more so it went back in the brake fluid. Then cleaning out the model room I came across 4 pots of car model paint I'd bought years ago by a firm called M Works. I can't remember where I got them or how big a range they did, but I test sprayed the four I had and they all worked really well - and I really like the colour I finally used on the Z car which is one they call Mica Dark Mahogany. As I said in @Andy J's Renault thread when the subject of colour came up, despite fiddling with every setting I could think of on the camera and trying it under different lighting conditions I couldn't get a pic of what it is really like - it's a bit more coppery brown and less orange than it looks here! Anyway, some pics: All four wheels do touch the ground, this pic was taken on a large curved piece of mount board!; Thanks for looking! Keith
