I'm going to need a "confused" reaction emoji TBH.

American 007 James"Jimmy" Bond's version of the amphibious Lotus Esprit ?

I found something better to power the GT40 than some marker pens and some plumbing spares.

I will admit that the GT40 is a beautiful beast, but, its so sleek it begs having something like this done to it.

Wonder how that Ford V8 would fit in a Porsche or VW?

Here's a quick mock up ( I'm thinking of using some led's and have it hovering)

Hi all, so what happened here.

Both parts were painted at the same time, with the same primer and the same top coat, I decided to give them a second coat and this happened

That's a real modelling mystery. I could come up with a load of explanations if it was just the top photo. But ....

.... that is very, very odd :rolling:

The thing that makes it more of a mystery is the first coat was fine.
