I am waiting with baited breath.

Always liked the look of this kit, but never got round to sorting the finances with all the other things that needed funding.

I did start this back in January 2019 and never really thought about posting it on here, so a 15 months later this is where I am up to issue 84.

The Delorean as a model is really good, some details are not right but I am not going down that route too much, you could end up doubling the price almost.

The obvious upgrades that I will only be doing it the Flux, Xmas tree and time circuit mods.

The others will be modded and repainted.

Eaglemoss as a company are absolutely diabolical, I will never order from them again.

Subscribed Oct 2nd 2018 got my first delivery 15th Jan 2019 (allow upto 21 days for delivery) Mmmmm.

The first thing I did was respray the chassis in grey primer to closely match the original.

Also I have made the engine a bit more grimy, the engine is only temporarily fitted, as I am still waiting on the gearbox mounts from issue 23 so I can proceed, without them I can't finish the chassis.

When this first started eaglemoss used an autobox, I started 2 years later and I recieved the updated manual gearbox in issue 16, issue 23 came and I got the autobox mounts (totally different) many phone calls... One advisor told me to source my own parts... Another told me they can send an autobox and that would mean me striping the engine down to fit (not doing) this is still on going almost 11 months later.

Even thou I'm only up to issue 84 I thought I would get the extended issues of the hood box from the newsagents, still waiting for issue 137 (no surprise) been 2 months on back order.


I also purchased Mike Lanes Hood box mod which is awesome.

Nice work Darren, that box looks the biz. So much better that the supplied one.

A few more bits done, the interior panels I have resprayed in Halfords grey primer then a coat of satin Laquer.

The door panels around the edge was painted a goldish colour to represent the body colour. Did not like this so done it in Tamiya Titanium.

Original on the left.

Nice work Darren.

Those cable ties must be really small and good work on the cable connectors.

Keep it up.

Done some work on the rear side deck, there are 3 details known hockey pucks, EM has them all pointing in the same direction but the originals point different ways.

Firstly I had to remove the base plate

Then in the second pic I glued a 1.5mm plasticard on the base of hockey puck, slightly smaller than the main base. The base I drilled a 10mm hole a slid this over the top, glued in place.

The last pic shows my 2 painted modified ones on the left and EM on the right

Thank you Derek

Amazing improvements

A little bit more progress on a terminal junction,

Eaglemoss is the first picture and you simply pass the cables underneath.

Second is mine, just glued some thin plastic rod on top, then the blue is just heat shrink tubing.
