Looks good, but too flat to me. Looking for something a bit more metallic/pearl. Bear in mind I originally wanted to paint this car brown... Anything could happen yet

 

 

 

That's the problem getting this on a picture, as it's actually a pearl color.

Love the attention to detail on the car, it's almost a shame to put the wheel on to hide all the nice parts

Thanks Adam. It's gone beyond the point I was planning, and I'm now loathe to reuse anything rusty or obviously used, even in places where you can't see it. Naomi told me I would have been better just buying parts not a donor car months ago, a few weeks later it seems she's right. All I need to do now is show the same attention to detail with the coupe panel!

Ha ha it can start to take over your life trying to build a "perfect" car but does make sense to clean anything up while it's all in bits. Just don't tell Naomi she's right........you'll never hear the end of it

Never admit Naomi is right, at least in public

Not interested in flat or matt paints unfortunately. The latter is just a fashion faux pas waiting to hit us, and the former don't suit the VX shape IMO (unless it's a red, yellow or black)

Hi Graham, is your plastic roller skate working yet (mechanically speaking)?

[JG]

Do you mean Graeme?

[fezzasus]

to be fair, it's hard to tell people's names from their user name.

[Zoobeef]

Haha! And to answer you nev, no the engine is still separate and waiting for some attention.

Indeed, really hard especially when it's the last post.

Along with the rest of the car from what I saw on Tuesday. Will be great when done, not sure I could cope with seeing mine in that many pieces again.

Few more Duncans that's for sure. Maybe 1.5

[ArticMonkey]

[rob999]

In a Graham you mean

[ArticMonkey]

For once I spelt something correct.

[The Batman]

Be done in a batman

[Graeme Lambert]

FU all. And no not done yet lol. To be fair, had I started when I originally planned to (nov) it might have been... Spent a few hours there tonight and got a little more done. Back tomorrow as well, since I've been away with work all week. And stu, still more progress on mine this week than yours!
