David Sandry Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 So, 1st share.... I started this in about 2003 at a guess and its been in a box since then! Was rather dusty and needed a gentle clean (only partially done so far). All brush painted (I primed the shell with spray and trying to decide how to best finish it....) From memory although detailed it didn't all fit together and needed lots of little tweaks (it was no tamiya kit!)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 That doesn't look too bad at all so far. 2003 is a little while ago 🙂 Not too far from finished by the looks of it. Maybe a nice black from a rattle can to finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper645 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I personally use google photos, but there are many others recommended in the FAQ area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper645 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Will you be doing the iconic red LEDs and a hoff figure? Looking good. This is a real 16 year labour of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sandry Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 LED's? I'll was planning on silver with a clear red over. Now the Hoff would be a good idea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sandry Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I'm not quite sure why, but I used a pearlescent black! Not true to original, but looks cool in the sun! Most of the peel has gone, but at some light angles it can be seen I'll try a fine polish/sand and then think about gloss lacquer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
