Phew! Shelving this would have been a real shame Boots.
It looks simply brilliant so far buddy.

That looks rather nice mate. And like the others, glad you sorted the issue, would have been a shame to shelve/bin it indeed. Keep it coming chap

Looking really good Boots, just wondering are them wheels in the finished colour mate, they look a bit grey
Thought I might see you yesterday in the Essex show in Billericay, a very good show and it was packed all day

Thanks chaps  Robbo......didn`t know about the show and the wheels are dark grey centered with lighter grey rims on the real vehicle pics that i`m working from.........they are still wip at the mo
Still tinkering with the exhausts......i`ve added in some more brass colour and also some steel which was all dry brushed since the last piccys....but....i had a major ferk up with this tho!!!, i was 90% finished after doing all the paint layers/washes and dry-brushing on it but decided to add a tinge of Alclads Violet for the heat effect around the collector box and just as i applied it i realised i forgot to put a gloss coat layer down......the Alclads took one of the boxes down to primer....AAAAAArgh!!! I did manage to get it as close as i could but it still looked different due to not being done in the original stages prior to that. However i have now got them both looking the same and i`m more than happy.
 
I`ll give it another couple of light washes to tone down the silver a bit more.
Cheers all |

Thank you Ian  99% of the interior done now, just the steering wheel and that`s it for the innards ............the dash and door cards have been finished off and glued in place as has the seats and harness, the harness is MENG`s and not that great to be honest, it`s a one sided sticky tape about 2mm width and trying to feed it thru the buckles was a non starter.....i ended up just doubling over some Tam tape of the same size and painting it.
The dash..
The rest..
  
And a dry fit to make sure all plays nice..
Good news is my other project is hopefully in it`s final stages, fired the bike up after it`s semi-rebuild and it fired up first go, just needs a fine tune and then an MOT certificate.
Cheers all |
