You don't see many of these being made! Should be an interesting build

well got some more done on this cracking little kit really enjoyed putting some extra work into this build so far


these are the tools i used to recreate the rivets










so started with the first pe










than add some more rivets






and done






next job the lights trying something new






first paint them silver then add some of this to add a glass effect hopefully it works wont know till tom till its dry






thanks for looking in lads

Great work on the rivets and catches on the bonnet. Look forward to update on the solid water lens idea to.

well getting there with this kit the only problem is that i have had this kit or ages in the loft getting moved around from here to there that there are many pieces missing whoopsie so im scratching the life out of it


right the headlights work a treat with this picture you cant really see but where im sitting looks just like glass


















cheers for looking in more soon hopefully

 

[papa 695]

Looking great John and a nice trick with the water effect lenses

 

[geegad]

Well onto the back headlights first job thin them out a little






That done back put some clear plastic to see if it will replicate the bulb look






That done fill with clear resin










Thanks for looking in lads

 

[papa 695]

Very nice work John

 

[Fenlander]
