(I'm trying my best not to interfere but yes its really hard haha - at least I have got to spray paint bits!)


Daddy helped me mask the body and I painted the black bits:

This morning we tried to put a few stickers on the body and the wheels. It was really hard and we had to work as a team to move them about! I put the special stuff on to make them soft and brush them with the brush.

great work there lucy I know how tricky those stikers can be I built this kit a little while ago you've done a great job on a very hard part of the kit.

**The bonnet decals seem to be a slightly bad fit, there is no cut out for the badge so you have to leave a gap at the bottom and the top stripes don't quite run off the back of the bonnet. She did well helping place them on, I did have to help with the final alignment but Lucy put the micro sol/set on and then I used the hair drier on them. They are excellent decals to use though, easily better than the last lot of Tamiya ones I just did which were murder.


I will let Lucy do nearly all of the mini when we get on to that, she is getting better all the time, I hope that by making sure the body looks good on this it will spur her on to put a lot of effort into the next one!**

I have done more stickers and glued on some bits.


**believe it or not lucy did the white line around the rear light, the little badge beside it, the ford badge on the wing, the writing on the 'A' pillar and the Ford badge on the rear bumper. She also made a good stab at the rear bumper decal but that was a total nightmare -she got it on but I had to settle it in place. All I did was line the decals up and she pushed them on the body, I then let her push them about until I said they were ok - she is very happy and I was amazed at how well she did. I will be giving her less and less help as we go!**

I like Chloe's Name, I think it's very pretty. I would like to see her model when she is doing it. Thank you for looking at my model!
