Toftdale Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Don't worry there's a happy ending, but just after I finally my lotus I knocked my work lamp over and this happened 😬😭 I've got it back together, there's now some glue marks around the right rear wing which weren't there before, but apart from that it was a very luck escape 😀. Really very pleased with this one and the foil looks far better than I could have ever achieved with paint. So to make sure no more accidents occurs it now safe and snug in its own display case. Again thanks for looking - Andy 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Very nicely done, and glad to see it surviving its brush with the lamp - I can imagine there were a few choice words uttered at that point! As you say, the metal work has come out great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Church Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I love it--your build, the choice of colors, and the added details convey what a happy, charming little car these were in the model's early years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitkent Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Beautiful model of a great little car! I love the contrast of the foil bodywork,which is highly appropriate and true to life and the chrome hubcaps. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
