Hi all, is it time to get back to this build? Yep, I think it's long overdue. I've resubscribed as soon as it went live, but I was putting the deliveries aside for now, to have more to build at once. I've completed the build up to Issue 17, and the photos are below.
A seat and a half, plus a bonus in the form of the cat. BTW, cat's name is Tamiya.
The front grille was done before, but here's a better photo - you can see it will be a beautiful model when completed. After getting the grille out of storage I found out that one of the lamps in the middle popped out and is not staying in place anymore on its own, but that was easily rectified with a bit of CA glue.
Now I have two wheels done, so here they are. And again I had problems fitting the tyre at first (lazy me didn't want to put the kettle on; I was trying to use hot water from the tap to warm it up), but then after a few minutes in a proper just-boiled water it slipped on right how it should, like it was made of soft rubber.
Test-fitting exhaust pipes to the framework part... The quality of the orange structure is wonderful, feels great and heavy.
And the last item - the doors. They're larger than I expected!
