Morning guys,

I knocked this together while waiting for oils and enamels to dry on my Tomcat build.

This is only the third car I've built, and I think I am getting better at glossy paintwork, although I did get some orange peel with this one. I think my missus having the heating on at million degrees may have had something to do with it. :tears-of-joy:

Overall it was an enjoyable build, other than the carbon fibre decals that did not want to conform, and broke up if too much Micro Sol was used. This resulted in a few wrinkles here and there, but mostly hidden in the engine bay.

This last shot is with the other 2 cars I have built, in order left to right. I think the painting is getting better.
