John mate this looks the dogs so far i have to say i admire the the folks who can do car kits well, i can never get the paint right on them, thats why i stick to tanks. Great job so far dude will keep watching.

Well Scott, it's only luck i've got this far mate. I've made a few mistakes but i've managed to hide them lol. Had some time to get the suspension done today so i can hide it all under the sump guard and tank guards, the wheels are on and all of them set on the floor so at lease i got it straight. Just need to get some blue for the suits and i can get the interior in and that should be the car finished, i'm trying to get that done for thursday as i'm away friday. Going to Santa Pod for some drag racing with the "lads" so you know what that means, tent sat in a field with loads of beer and a BBQ and listening to the cars going up the strip.
Can't wait :banana:
Have fun, John

The figures are now painted (at last lol), found some decals for the arms too. I've just glued them to the seats and going to fit the rollcage tomorrow and when thats in i'll extend the harness to fit the cage.

John, what a marvellous job you are doing on this model. Top drawer stuff.
I'm glad to see you survived the Pod.....Any Boddies left ? (Fat chance eh!)
Keep having fun,

Car is now finished
Thanks Ron mate, only just survived the Pod but had a great time. Yes mate, i have four cans of Boddies left (don't know how though lol). Got there on friday at 09:30 and by 10:00 i had two, by the time i went to bed i'd polished off twelve cans so i slept well. Didn't hear a thing until about 08:30 on saturdays then it was time for a full english breakfast, nice.................
A lot of drag racing, even more drifting and lots of girls with not much on. Here are a few photos but no ladys, this is a family forum after all.

Now then, the scooby. I've done the harness and fitted to the rollcage, made them out of folded tamiya masking tape. The car is now finished so it's time for a little ground work.

That John is sheer class and no question. I could pile on the superlatives but I will let the pictures do the talking....
Something tells me you are really enjoying this build, and it shows.
Big 5 from me even without the ground work. Magic stuff!!

I did enjoy this build Ron mate, nice to do something different every so often. Thanks for the five mate too, much appreciated.
Have fun, JohnComment

Very impressive build, great finish. Now, when you've got used to its looks, you could throw loads of mud all over it, and there they are, just finishing a stage. (Go on, I dare you) !

Hi fellas, the Subaru is to one side at the moment. Have no need to get the airbrush out just for one job. You see, if i build a few models that need airbrushing then i'll have a full day at it and do two or three models. So Colin mate it'll have some dirt on but not very much as this car was used in Monte Carlo there's not much mud, lots of snow though.
Have fun, JohnComment
