Can find no detail of the chassis so will have to make that up, will have to learn resin casting as I will have 3 pairs of suspension to make and 6 wheels.not allowed to start it till the 26th

The eagle eyed among you may notice I've had a weird reaction to the paint on one of the doors (all the rest of the paint work seems to be ok)

That's a strange looking beast. Will follow if I may. Is it the right hand door with the problem ? I can see what looks like a dimple near the right hand lower corner. I'm sure it would polish out.

Hi Ken
Definitely something very different. You're off to a good start. Strange about the paint on the door. Probably those pesky little mogglin pixies up to their tricks again.
Looking forward to the test
Jim

Started adding the shackles plates to the bed

Wondered how much filling would be needed so added some primer

Hi all here's the next update put the suspension together temporarily to see what size wheels I will need for the flatbed.

1/24 scale with tyre at 28 mm so unless some kind person has 8 wheels with tyres that size I will have to have a go at resin moulding.
Did some more to the engines and done the leather seats as well.

I've noticed that as they've used common parts in both kits the chrome strips on the cabriolet version have not been continued on the front wings so I've added them.

As 007's enemies would say, Very Interesting Mr Bond! It's great! I remember decades ago seeing a similar set up but fully enclosed rear at Silverstone Circuit whilst marshalling, a fully enclosed 6 wheel version, 2 at the front and four at the back. It had been built and was being used by the then World Sidecar Racing Champion Team from I think it was Holland, carry the outfit in the back under cover. When they got to the circuit the driver pulled one of the levers between the seats for the hydro-suspension and dropped on the ground and pushed the outfit out straight onto the ground without ramps! I at the time had a few Citroen BX's that could do the same!

Hi all here is the next update (those opening doors were a nightmare) there are 2 tiny pins with corresponding holes in the inner door skins which have the hooks for the hinges in the door posts thing is if you put the doorskin in those pins the chrome trim won't align and the door droops so what I ended up doing was using liquid cement on the joins hanging the inner door then putting the outer skin up to it and using clamps to hold them in place till the glue sets.
