Andys MG Metro 6R4, Belkits 1/24

[Andy T]

Thanks Steve.

Grabbed a few minutes this morning and mixed a colour for the front skirt using Light Gull Grey and Tan. Not exactly right but much closer than the xf-59 Desert Yellow suggested by the instructions:

Loving the trolly jack.

Guess your off the Yorkshire Tea.

No Lee, just coffee in first thing :nerd:

[Lee Drennen]

coffee in first thing

Me too.

[Andy T]

Blue is on. I'll let it settle for a day or two then crack on with the decals

[Mark1]

Looking good :thumb2:

[Stefee]

Looking very good. Hope you have a better time with your decals than I am having with mine.

[Andy T]

Yes, the decals are something I'm not looking forward to! I have a variety of lotions & potions, and a heat gun if I really need it, but with the metro being quite boxy there shouldn't be too many compound curves to worry about.

Famous last words.... :tears-of-joy:

[Mr Bowcat]

Looks good Andy.

For decals, I find warm water helps pre-soften the decals and makes them easier to conform. I use a AirWick Wax Melter, but I think USB coffee warmers would work just as well.

Look forward to seeing this finished

Loved the group B era

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Very nice Andy.

[Tworrs]

Great paint job Andy.

[Tim Marlow]

This is coming on beautifully Andy. It’s almost as if you paint cars for a living

[Andy T]

Thanks everyone.

I'm currently working my way through the cartograf decals which are perfectly sized and conforming well so far.

It might take a while so I've stocked up in case anyone needs another brew

[PaulTRose]

Proper tea!

I take mine Julie Andrews

Got any biccies? :hungry:
