In my defence, it was because of a correction to an un-square cut performed by someone else - no way could it be left like that. The thin edge burnt easily! Defence completed, m'Lud.

Jinxman Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Afternoon, and out come the clear parts. Not the best bit of the kit, and so a bit of polishing is in order. The rear panel has been left soaking in Future to hopefully improve the appearance. Off for a cup of char now.

Jinxman Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Small session to get the rest of the clear parts ready for painting. The small indicator parts were very fiddly. Gave some of the silver parts a wash to tone them down. Body looks ok, quick polish later perhaps, and a thin coat to finish.

Jinxman Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Run out of puff - that's it for the day. Scoffed a chickpea, chard, and mushroom curry for supper - lovely. The build moves on - starting to put bits together, and it's gone together quite well. I'll leave the body polish until tomorrow - the paint should be that much harder. Mostly detailing tomorrow - the trickiest part will be masking up the clear parts for spraying. Hopefully the Future will have dried sufficiently.

Hockeyboy76 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It’s looking good dude. Good luck for the last day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Start the day with masking - not a favourite, but necessary. Got some black on the frames so colour can come in later. Time for a cheese sarnie I reckon. Session time = 1 hour 46 minutes, Total time = 14 hours 57 minutes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Cheese sarnie and a surprise appearance of a bit of fried mushroom on sourdough, mmm. Anyhows, masking continued, and all spraying now done apart from any touch ups - everything in the dehydrator to speed up the drying. A quick cuppa, and then onto decal cutting and bits - can't see the figures getting done, but I'll make a start.

Jinxman Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Another session done - starting to get bits and pieces onto the body shell, all tyres touch the floor, and some small touch ups done.

Jinxman Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Here we go - time for some tea. Started the figures, but don't expect to finish them. Everything else tootling along quite nicely.

Bertie McBoatface Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Orange seems to be a theme here, model, drink and marmalade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Finished, in the gallery in a mo, thanks to @Enzo Matrix as usual, gonna check out everyone's builds in a while, and already looking forward to December. Big thanks to my partner for support and great grub. (And I still have my Bombay Pot Noodle to tuck into - yum, yum!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Very cool car and build - good choice for an Airfix re-release, instead of a tired old aeroplane mould.. Hope to see the figures in the section here on BM! Regards, ADrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
