Week Seven



Feels like some progress has been made this week. For a change the decals on this one were an absolute joy. I got them done over the course of two evenings and even though I say so myself they look pretty cool (loving the black to red fade)

Remade the brake cooling ducts from sprue and detailed with a bit of BMF. the Body is dry fitted to check that every thing lines up now that I've fixed the cockpit and engine in place. It didn't take much jiggling at all, even the bits I chopped up seem to line up OK!

The engine was detailed with various bits of wire, mostly stripped from old chargers and usb cables, I'm not sure its entirely accurate but hey, it's not like I'm gonna be driving it...

That's it for now, body is coming back off and will be living somewhere warm and dry until next weekend when I should be clear coating it.... There are a few more fiddly bits to be done; front and rear lights and the windows. Oh and the tyres need to be scrubbed but I'm definitely on the final lap!

Thanks for looking

Now that really is high praise John, Thank you. But you've raised the bar pretty high with the finish on that E-Type
