Cheers Steve 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  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  )
    
Working on front Grill/bumper at mo...
Cheers chaps |

Thanks Marco me `ol buddy 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  )
I did drop a b*****k tho ...........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 
   
Have made a start on the cab colourage as well but nowt worth showing yet 
Cheers fellas |
