Sehr schöne Details, das Chrom ist super, welche Farbe hast du verwendet?

No paint used for the chrome Findus, just the bare metal photo etch!

Looks good Nik. Give that shell plenty of time to dry, and you should be good for clear coat 🙂

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer. I will certainly do that, do lacquers take longer to cure/dry? And no sanding before the clear coat?

Bozzer
Really, it should be dry now, but with the weather we've had, I'd wait until tomorrow. It's supposed to be a good morning? I'd personally check in real light, that you're happy with the colours, and if you are, shoot it with a coat of clear. Check that, when dry, and decals. Then clear coat again, once the decals are dry. Try to cover the body with a plastic tub or something, to prevent dust from settling on your clear coat 😉

Bozzer
Any luck mate?

nikfrost
Yes! Decals and final gloss coat done, just waiting on the final polish now. Thank you for the advice, it's turning out quite nicely I think!

Bozzer
That's looking awesome buddy! Let that clear, dry for a few days, before doing any buffing.
It's usually at this point, I start another build.
However, work is only hours away, and weekend looks like a lifetime away 🙁

looks real nice! I am playing Gran Turismo 7 and this car actually drives nice consider it's age. Now I want one.

Bozzer
I think that looks really awesome, on the Brian James trailer. They both compliment eachother!
Nice work buddy 👍

Perfect result! Where did you get those switches on the centre consol?

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer and István. The switches came with the kit, it's a super detail kit so lots of photoetch and extras. Very impressed with the contents.
