wimbledon99 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Great colour - how did you remove the chrome? cheers Thanks caterhamnut The chrome was removed by soaking in some household bleach for a few minutes. Give the parts a good rinse afterwards and they're good to paint Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Folks, Not as much progress as I would have liked but thought I'd share it no matter. I've opted for an aluminium cab floor so as to brighten the interior. I'm also toying with leaving the doors and bonnet off but that call will be with my son!

PlaStix Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi Nigel. That's all looking rather splendid! Love the blue paintwork! The wood flooring decal looks good in the back too. Excellent progress. Hope you have a good weekend. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hey Stix, How you doing? Thank you - I'm happy with progress even if it is rather slow! Thought I'd drop in and post a 'still in progress' picture. Been so busy with work and family my modelling time is rather limited Hoping to complete her before the new year as I have a few GB's to plan Cheers Nigel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hi Nigel. I'm fine thanks and I hope you are too. Life does sometimes have a way of getting in the way of modelling but I agree with you - progress is progress even if it is only a little. Like you, I have a lot of builds to fit in in the early part of the year - there are quite a few GBs on all at the same time arn't there! Should be fun!! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vontrips Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Will you be doing a WIP? Too many kits and so little time! Three candidates for the blue so far; 1/12 Rikuo 1/6 Honda Dax & 1/6 BMW R75 Try not to plan too far ahead these days as it slows my current glacial build pace even more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 You know, I might just finish this in time!! Just the bonnet to spray and a few bits of 'chrome' to add 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 its looking very impressive now its coming together. Thank you noeyedears - almost over the line! That is looking very smart Nigel. Good luck with the last few parts!! Thank you Stix - Feels like a long build but almost there I managed to put the base layer on the bonnet today but will now be 'off-line' re. building for a few days. I reckon I'll still finish before the new year so fingers crossed. Merry Christmas to all Cheers Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
