dylan the rabbit Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Well, here's a shot of the box to get on with. I've not got a sprue shot yet, as my desk doesn't need any more plastic on it until I finish off some of these builds, so for now, 'ere's what I'm building.

Brews Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It's a very enjoyable build. I made one about 10 years ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 it's certainly a classic British icon I'd be interested to see the "super glossy" paintwork technique that car & bike builders use. Just for future reference, you understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for future reference, you understand Well, I got this finish for my 'sort of finished' Comet, by spraying 6 light coats of Tamiya red, and then brush painting on a few coats of Klear. I think it may work for the Shaguar.. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham T Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Blimey I remember building that in the 60's (I was very, very young!). On the M11 this morning I passed a removal truck which was towing a trailer carrying one of these in a truely awful condition - still probably worth more than my MGB GT though!

AnonymousA667 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We saw a 'runner' heading towards London on the A12 the other night. Bright red and looking very nice, hood down too! peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 IMO there is only one colour suitable for an "E"-Type and that is BRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 No, no, no. Red ones go faster. Absolutely. Also green is pants as a phallic extension. Long red bonnet, doesn't take much imagination does it? peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sorry guys I did say IMO. I've got a 1/32 Aston which I'm going to paint in BRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan the rabbit Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Absolutely. Also green is pants as a phallic extension. Long red bonnet, doesn't take much imagination does it?peebeep But we all know the E-Type is a knob extension, so they have to be flaming red! Looknig forward to seeing your Aston Daz. I've got one in the stash, so will watch your with interest. Cheers mate, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
