moviedrone Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Have loved this car since seeing THE SPY WHO LOVED ME as a kid, still have both Corgi die-cast scales. Am planning to add a small bit of diorama after the main build, dependent on that goes, but the kit seems nice enough, Fujimi 1/24. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The Lotus was my favorite supercar for many years. Ive always wanted one just because of the bond connection. I even had the corgi myself with the rockets and everything. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Nice! I strongly considered buying one 10 years ago. You could get them rather cheap and spare parts were less exclusive than I expected. It was quite clear the price for the S1 and S2 will go up soon, and so they did... Arggghhh... Will watch this with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moviedrone Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Finally started this. Primed, then started on the interior. It looks pretty good although took a bit of sanding to fit some of the parts, instrument panel decal took a little work and a lot of micro sol but then I always seem to have this issue with decals in Japanese kits. Need to give the boot space another coat, looked at the shots of the real car in the film and there was a bit of tartan in between the seats on the backwall, but I thought I'd leave it as it's not going to be seen clearly anyway. I stupidly had an incident with the steering wheel where I left it on the side to dry and one of the cats (or maybe Blofeld's?) had a chew, but it looks okay all things considering.

Not necessarily a missed opportunity Sadly, I have direct experience and can corroborate. But, that Elan +2S was sweet when it ran! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
