Groan. I've also spent time arranging the pick up of the T-Roc on Friday; after eight months wait I'm excited! I'll post a picture when I've picked it up. It better be worth the wait… Blast of primer to highlight problems like what proper modellers do: Just for Matt I've rounded / ramped the fronts: … while still maintaining the appearance of squareness: I'm definitely BOI now (Bored Of Intakes) and to be honest they don't look too bad from a distance: …especially when viewed from their 'on the ceiling' angle: I do need to clean up and polish a bit, especially the vents. It'll keep me busy while I'm waiting for the resin bits. Better chase Alec - I may need to put this aside for a while. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 "Like what proper modellers do" ??? To my mind, young Buffers there's no properer modeller around than Mr Ced B You tackle em all with gusto And a staggering number of ' letsdoit' tools Nimmy is looking darned good Ced, I would be proud of those intakes Just a smoothing over, maybe with PPP and a damp/wet cotton bud Yep, I'd be proud of what you have done and how far you've come, especially having to cope with enforced merriment, company and wine Looks the bizz! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The square look comes also from the shadow inside with the right angle of light coming in on the real photo. You won't get this on a model photo exactly, but nearly there. So everything is fine for me by now. Btw on demand: Will we get other sausages or steaks here on your further build? I'll have to be prepared then.

Cheers Thanks Ben What's this, no posts since Wednesday? Christmas drinks etc AND (drum roll please) T-Roc! Eight months I've waited - eight MONTHS! First impressions? 'White Silver' is White. Unless it’s next to a white or silver car in which case it’s obviously neither. It’s very like the Golf to drive but with a more elevated driving position. Still playing with CarPlay but seems to do what it says on the tin and saves the cost of a SatNav. Even though I checked the height and width to make sure it fitted in the garage, I failed to consider the door length. The T-Roc seems to be longer as the gap to get out when you open the door in our old ‘designed for the Austin Seven’ garage is thinner. Good job I’m on a diet! In other news I've had an email from Alec who's promised to ship the resin early next week. That should allow me to progress, finally! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
