There's a small gap between his nose and the inside of the helmet Jeroen.....whoops I can't believe I've just said that 🤣🤣👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I usually don't like figures in car models but you've done such a nice job of painting him I guess he can stick around (I bet you've already superglued him to the seat anyway... !! 🤣) K 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first figure I've painted tbh and I quite enjoyed it especially when if it didn't work out I could just bin him. The shell will be ready for work tomorrow so hopefully i can get this build finished in the next couple of days 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The shell looks gorgeous Andy and the figure too,. The bits of dust landing on the shell in the wet gloss takes me back to spraying my cars in the drive then the garage and a fly would land in the wet paint. I made the mistake of trying to get one put once, never again as ended up having to repaint the panel!!! Great work on this Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work on this Chris Thanks Chris the driver figure was just a bit of fun whilst I waited for the shell to dry properly. As for the bits of dust in the clear coat well I just accept them as part of the process mate and tbf there aren't too many anyway 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
