Welcome, Pietro.

There's a long way to go on this one, Villers, Plenty of tiny door handles to keep away from the carpet monster 😉

Very nice detailed work.

Many thanks, Villiers. Still lots to be done, but I surprised myself with the dashboard dials. It looks better than my previous efforts with decals!

Nice interior!

Many thanks, Doubtingmango. I've been working on the doors, and have to decide how open, or how closed the car will be. Lot's of options with this kit. I may have the bonnet half open, so the engine is on view....it all depends if I dare to try to add wiring to the spark plugs!

Go for it!

Well, I've made a start on the wiring. Bodywork also being progressed.

Looking good. 👍

Many thanks, Guy. I'm in awe at how others have taken on all the wiring and cables on a 1:35 motor cycle. These cable are all accessible, but it is just soo tricky! I'm going to lie down in a dark room now.

Looking good!

Many thanks, Doubtingmango. Lot's of tiny components still waiting, for adjustable wing mirrors, etc. Even smaller items for bonnet catches.

Stil lots to do, Daniel, but I'm learning lots on this journey 😉

Very nice and organized.

It's the countdown to completion, Villiers. All tricky, fragile or tiny parts.....

Okay, so I have a problem to solve. Having mounted the bodywork onto the chassis, I noticed that the four wheels are not sitting evenly. There seems to be a twist in the set up on the chassis, so I have taken the body off again, and need to figure out how to straighten things up again.

How have I missed this??? Joining the party! Rust looks fabulous, Bruce!

I would like to suggest two methods: 1) Hairdryer and gently twist the chassis, or; 2) wedge in a thin shim on one side between the chassis itself and the leaf spring.

I can feel that rust flaking off onto my hands! Great effect!

Welcome, Robert. What else is there to do with a spare bonnet and grill 😉
1 August 2023, 15:13
Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks for your advice, Villiers. I'll try the second option. Two steps back, before things can move forward again. The fragile last parts will have to wait!

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Doubtingmango. I think I surprised myself! 😉

The windscreen glass panes are a slightly loose fit in the frames, (with no rebates to fit into...), but a coat of dark grey inside the frames and on the edges of the glass has made the fit finger tight. White glue applied, and the glass fitted.

Final problems resolved, fine parts installed, decals added, and some last small details painted.

Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone. I hope you like the end results too?

Bruce Huxtable
You were right, Villiers. I needed to fit a small packer between the springs and chassis, and that did the trick 👍 Many thanks 🙂
6 August 2023, 18:52
Bruce Huxtable
Finished, unless I spot something in the piccies 😉

Many thanks for your generous feedback, Guy and Pietro. An easy one next, then something even more challenging....

I need your maintenance team, Ian 😉

Great finish! Motivating me to try my first softskin

Many thanks, Villiers and Doubtingmango. There are lots of wheeled vehicles to combine with armour, DM. Have fun!

Many thanks for your 'likes', everyone. There are a few areas that I can see could be improved, so I'll take these lessons on to the next one 🙂

Album info

A Masterbox kit heavily discounted. The plastic is very brittle, so I'm having nightmares with fine parts shattering....
