Hi Alex

Looking very good, excellent chipping on the chassis, looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for all the kind comments!

Mobear, appreciate that you notice all the little details. I used a little hairspray on the bumpers, painted over them in white, then scrubbed off small sections with an old stiff brush that I'd cut down to a stub. It took a few attempts.

In hindsight, I reckon if I'd just used a coat of Klear hand-brushed over the dark yellow, had let it cure for a few days, then I'd have been able to paint the white and scrape it off with a dampened cocktail stick. There are so many ways - I find many successes are nothing more than happy accidents

i`m just starting to get into this hairspray thing,but i found one thats hand pumped so i have more control over it, but practice is out the window at the moment,on the plus side movement and power is so much better now,so to kick off at the weekend i`m gonna start lusty the aircraft carrier

Latest progress of weathering the chassis. I have relatively new (to me) Nikon P80 and I can't seem to get decent photos, so excuse the poor quality.
