    Tworrs 1/24 Renault R5 Alpine Rally Car, Mr Bowcat's Racing GB

    Thanks to Mr Bowcat for putting together this GB,
    Here is my offering in all its dirty glory.
    The car is depicted as having just completed the 1978 Monte Carlo Rally, with the attendant dirt and grime that it picked up from the snow and road muck on the last stage.
    I was not overly impressed with this Italeri kit for varying reasons, but at the end of the rally and with all the dirt and snow covering my efforts, it did not turn out too bad.
    Thanks to all of you that followed along and offered comments, advice and encouragement.
    Cheers
    Garry

    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

        Absolute tour de force, very convincing weathering especially the wheels. Excellent result.

            I thought you said it had been in a rally? My car looks like that normally! Very convincing finish, Garry.

                That definitely looks the part Frosty Garry!!! A rally car in all it's glory, at the finish line. It might have been a tough build, but you nailed it, my friend!!!

                Now, you need to put on your coat, go outside, grab a bucket of snow, and make a nice base for it!!!...

                  Thank you for your kind comments Allen, much appreciated. I have been thinking about a base, all I can say is, maybe.

                            I had been thinking about a base for the rally car, and after Allen Dewire nudged me ever so gently...........
