Hi Roy  Unbeleivable level of detail  Are you an engineer by any chance  You're setting a very high bar for the level of detail achieved. Keep up the excellent diary Regards Gray

Very nice update again Roy. Interested to read about the spoke cross over types as that caused a number of queries at the outset of the build for many. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the interior. I think i read at the start if your build you had intended to leave the overall body colour as supplied - is that still the case or have you been tempted to change it? Happy Modelling

Many thanks you chaps.
It's turning into a really fun build.
At present, I think I'm going to leave the bodywork green but I may well alter the interior colour.
Roy.

Roy. Roy thanks for that - was wondering what direction it might take in terms of colour. Happy Modelling

Well, I keep saying the engine is 'almost sorted' but then I remember something else... The rev counter sensors on the end of the camshaft. The kit has the tiny sensor to fit, with 2 little terminals - but no wires. Now added. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

I thought I'd make up a seat for a change. I'm making my own, covered in a darker brown leather. The kit seat is in the last pic. It's ok, but I prefer the shape of my friends real E Type seats which are different to the kit ones. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Thanks chaps.
A small update - I've now got a really nice tan leather so the seats and interior will be sorted accordingly.
Roy.

Be interested to see how it alters the look Roy. Is the leather you have similar to your re-made seat? Happy Modelling

Here's my new leather. It's about 0.5mm thick and very stretchy. Quite similar to the kit seat colour, but a bit more tan, slightly less brown. Roy. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

That does look very nice roy. That interior is going to look very special indeed. While i would achieve no were near what you are doing i am almost tempted to re-sub to this model. Happy Modelling

Thanks Tony. It is a great kit with lots of potential to modify if you want. Here's one seat in the new leather... roymattblack attached the following image(s):
