All imges in this first post were completed within one week. I was curious how far I could progress a model kit with a concerted effort in a week. Quite far it turns out. This Aoshima kit is building well so far. The front bumper joints are a bit small and need reinforcement but otherwise, very good. It's a converted-curbside kit, so the engine parts are all about 3/4 depth and match up (more or less) with the original curbside foor pan and lower engine. Not quite as good as if it'd been engineered from the start, but given how many kits are only ever curbside, the presence of the engine is welcome. It'll be Vauxhall Breeze Blue from a Halfords Rattle Can, and I'm not using the kit wheels. I plan to add extra details where I see it necessary - especially in the engine bay where the converted-curbside nature led to me to construct a filewall/bulkhead behind the 13B engine. Below: I do like how it looks in this colour. I'd tested it out on the livery builder in Gran Turismo Sport, then looked for a car paint that was similar. Below: Starting to make templates for carpets, which i will do with my usual method of spray painted sandpaper to give predictable and sticky (when used with double sided tape) texture.
