Stevieboy Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well after a few mad days I have managed to get a bit more done the sparkly seats took me 6 hours over 2 days and became theraputic-lots of coffee and Rush turned up on the cd -maybe I was high. These last 2 shots show the different ways I was trying to hold the base plate and in the end although both worked well the Blue tak won the day Thanks for looking Stevieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Shame about the tyre decals. Does anyone make a suitable stencil for spraying the lettering on? Obi-Jiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Shame about the tyre decals. Does anyone make a suitable stencil for spraying the lettering on?Obi-Jiff Hi Obi I,m going to check my 1/12 decal sheets that I have and I may have a stencil somewhere but after looking at the ""decals"" again in the light of day I have to say that they are even worse than I thought so they are definetly coming off, hopefully I'll get a bit more done tomorrow, sadly there are no stencils in the detail set. Have fun Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 sadly there are no stencils in the detail set. Seems a bit of an omission to me. Still, considering what else the set contains, you can't complain! Obi-Jiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Missed the up dates over the last few days, great progress being made. Those seat must have driven you barmy, I'd have needed a lie down in a very dark room after that 6 hours! Dash looks good, keep up the good work.

Rishi Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hi Stevie, Those brake disc rotors are very well cast. The outer circle (vents) mostly gets rusted and the non friction area. Did u get a paint stencil for goodyear - try hobbylink japan. Cheers, rishi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi Guys, Not much to show this time as we are in the boring bit of rubbing down the mold lines and there are many of them so heres a few piccies. Still got tons to do so watch out for more later. Stevieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Been doing more bits since the weekend but its getting boring at the moment as we are just rubbing things down and getting rid of mold lines etc, the square mesh in the 1st piccie has to be folded at each end but there is no fold line so extra care was needed and it didn't help that my eyes started watering at the exact second I started to bend. More as and when Stevieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevieboy Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Guys, I have still been plodding along and things go either very quickly or very slowly some of the pics show test fitting and the final 3 show the problems I have encountered this morning more as we get to them. The following 3 show how I have spent 3 weeks cleaning these up only to find they are too heavy More as and when and a happy new year to you all Stevieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rishi Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Stevie, Thats quite complicated to understand the problem u came across with fitting the rear suspension and exhausts. Nice work so far. Cheers and Happy new year. Rishi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
