    Revell 1/16 karmann ghia

    Hi all well I'm calling this done I've tried sorting the doors, one shuts okish the other I saved the hinge too much and got glue on it so now it's permanently open, I've decided only to look at the good bits I consider I've done on a kit, rather than look at the bad so I'm really happy with the paint job on this, it's super shiney and level ( painting is always my worst bit) so overall I'm happy with this build.

        Looks good to me. That Paint is rather shiny and smooth! 


        One thing I wondered is if you have had so many problems with getting the doors, bonet and boot to close well, why didn't you pose them all open. 


        Great job on an iconic car (which I came £50 short from buying one of many years ago).

          I bet that would have been an investment that paid off big time, I bought cars in my youth and sold them on practically every week, when I think back they would have been worth a fortune now.

            Do you know what... respect to all you guys who build cars out there I tried my hand at two and the paint work was horrible, Ken mate this is a cracker and that paint work is just amazing, I think some sort of tutorial on how to prep and paint car bodies is in order nice one mate.

                      Thanks for the replys and kind comments, as for a tutorial on painting there are far more talented people on here to do that.
