Thanks guys. Here is the latest. Three coats of gloss. Painting the folded down roof is difficult. Very little definition to work with so very difficult to paint.  Want to get more pronounced folds in the material. |

The ladies are coming along nicely, not a bit Les Dawson at all   Could you add some fine tissue to the soft top to give it a canvas look? |

Thanks PorcoRosso and Steve.
Might try that Steve. At the moment I am thinking pigments.

Thin tissue with PVA works well for a textured seat cover and ruffled canvas effect......used that a few times  |

Thanks armorguy, Ian and Paul. Decided to go with Tamiya weathering master soot, snow and light sand to add some definition. Coming along.  As for the ladies:  The one on the left is wearing Lifecolor rail weathering, the one on the right is Lifecolor hemp and rope. |

Thanks everyone. Got Tamiya compound finish yesterday and gave it a polish. Not perfect, but really made a difference. I will master it before I build the Bentley.  |
