Coors54 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I read the Aston Martin DB9 build by @johnlambert recently with sympathy as this model has tested my patience and fortitude in much the same way, particularly since the end of February when my attention turned to the body, I'm a novice in the world of cars (three down and quite a few to go) and after lavishing a lot of time on the modifications to the drive train and interior, I was feeling on a roll but the shiny bits didn't want to play, for a bit more detail my in progress is here - Anyway, I have decided it's finished, (it's not, there are things I know need to be added but my enthusiasm for the model is currently running on empty) so I've taken some pictures, tidied the workbench and put it away in a box! As with every model it's a learning experience so one just needs to move forwards. Excuse the rather poor photographs, I have an ancient iPhone and it wasn't as sunny as I'd hoped. Anyway, all critique is welcome, it's not my best work so anything you say won't be anything I haven't thought myself. Onwards they say and a 1977 spec Tyrrell P34 is next across the bench.

Spiny Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Got admit that I can't see where the shiny bits didn't play ball. It's times like this where we can be our own worst enemy as that certainly doesn't look bad at all - from the evidence of the photos it doesn't deserve to be shut away in a box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan R Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 You have done a great job! I absolutely love it! You can't see any evidence of the crazing on the roof that you had during the build. Well done! Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
