Cheers Steve ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Ok....day off today, was up early waiting for Virgin engineers to re-route my main cables, on first install the sub-contactors didn`t have enough cable so the stretched it over my garage roof which is felt, the cable moves in the wind and i didn`t want it wearing a thin spot in the felt!!.....it was only supposed to be a temporary thang............11 years later i finally gets it moved after kicking off..........told them if it causes damage they`ll get the bill!!! Anyhoo.........cracked on with this ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Masked up the round part on the front wheel and got some colour down, some washes on the running gear and inner frame work/suspension springs etc,gave the rear wheels/tyres a light Flat Earth coating, trailer 5th wheel/coupling got a base coat and all the exhaust pipes fitted/painted(can`t see `em coz they`re hidden....but i have done `em ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) )

Thanks Marco me `ol buddy ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Ok.........after many hours of masking and spraying/painting we have the front bumper complete and attached, headlights are AM ones behind a perspex guard.....the indicators/turn signals are done with Tam Clear Orange, steps picked out using Revells enamel ally colour, the front chevrons are Tam White and Sunburst Red. A couple of decs added (gonna have to remove the green`L` coz it`s on the wrong side ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) )
I did drop a b*****k tho ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) ...........the 2 clear lower spotlights on the front bumper were mistakenly painted Orange for indicators!!! , my bad............had to dispose of the kit ones and cut some clear plastic sheet and replace them, was a bit nerve rackin` as i had C/A`d them in..........managed to pop them out using a scalpel blade with damaging the paint
