Hi all well i figured since i seem to be ruining everything i touch lately i thought maybe i should try a new kit, if i make a hash up of this im going to take it as time to hang up my modeling tools and give up all together i decided to do all the chrome on this gold i was having trouble getting the gold leaf to stick to this but now is sorted the gold leaf sticks now but I couldn't get a good shine on it (its too soft as soon as you try to buff it (however gentle you are)it rubs off) so I've had to settle for imitation gold leaf (it's a bit tougher) I think it looks much better. This is the main colour I'm doing it (not even sure if I will be adding another colour yet) I think the gold looks good with it, opinions please?    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all well i was looking at a poacher build of this car and (although it's a 1/8 kit do twice the size of this) I thought I could add more detail to the engine so I've removed a bit moulded to the engine (not sure what the part is) but I've seen it in a lot more detail on the poacher kit and I think it is a fairly easy bit to improve (I'm not saying this will end up like a poacher kit but I am going to try and add what detail I can)    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

I believe the Pocher kit is the same color Green Ken.
I have built some Pocher kits.The older ones are hard work to mge them to fit well and some of the detail is pretty soft.The DeAg Toyota 2000gt and the Lambo kit are streets ahead of many Pocher kits
I think the ultimate are the Model Factory Hiro kits. They are INSANELY detailed.You really have to be a masochist to build one

Hi all revell put the location tab for this part but for some reason didn't make the part.  I've fabricated it also the other bits which are attached to the sump (don't know what any of the parts are) but they help fill empty spaces, they are not exactly right the black box thingy with 2 nuts on the top should have 3 but I've not got any small enough, but I figure it's better than having nothing there.

Nice detailing Ken. Moulded pipe shapes on the side of the block look NAF. Proper pipes that stand out look ACE. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

I agree delboy271155 but when I put the next bit on you will hardly see the pipe ( the actual pipe is cut in the middle and joined with jubilee clips, I was going to do that but as I said if I go to all that effort you won't see it anyway plus the fact with the bonnet on you won't see the engine at all) ( plus the fact)(even assuming it turns out OK it will end up in the spares drawer anyway as I don't have room for it) of course I may get carried away and start a diorama of some sort which will require the engine bay open, but my skill level ato the moment and my mojo I some how doubt it, feeling totally rubbish at this at the moment.

Hi Ken looks great, a spot of weathering to your usual standards should really bring that engine to life Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
