OK - nearly 8 months that these lumps have been stuffed away in a box.
I decided it's time to get them out and do some more work.

Still undecided on the 2nd car colour scheme but next I think, will be making copies of some of the resin bits I'll need for car 2.

Black parts painted in and also the white part around the lights. The actual lines will be decals.

On we go.

Well, I'll keep updating.

All the decals are now applied.
I did apply blank number decals 24 hours before adding sinilar decals but with numbers on.
This is because a white decal isn't always dense enough to stop red from showng through.
2 decals overcome this problem.

When it's all been drying for 3-4 days, I'll clear coat the body to seal everything.

Very nice work Roy. I bet you held your breath when applying those decals.

Excellent work here Roy. See what you mean about double decal to stop red showing through. Andy.

Many thanks for the kind comments chaps.

The next step will be to make duplicates of all the resin parts to complete the red car - the original parts will be used in the white one.

Again, many thanks...

Just a quick pic of the next stage.
The supplied kit part for the floor and cockpit.
You can clearly see what a BASIC kit this is.
I'll copy that part primarily with sheet plastic. There's little point in adding a lot more detail as the design of the car with such small windows means that the interior can't really be seen much anyway.

Parts of the kit engine are stuck into a polythene box and will be filled with moulding rubber. Then I'll be able to make a cast for the second car.

LOTS of resin parts to replicate...

Another little update for those peeping in.

As previously mentioned, the actual kit is utterly dreadful for what they cost - in excess of £400.

For your money you get parts that are clearly made 'by eye' - completely un-symmetrical, crooked, misshapen - the list goes on.
However, you get something that nobody else makes as a kit and it's a project to get your teeth into.

As this kit arrived with a completely broken body, a second body was included.

Instead of binning the broken body I repaired it as best as I could and that is now the white model.
The spare body is the red car.

However, there are only one set of all the other parts needed to make a complete car for the red one.

I've made rubber moulds of many of the parts now and the interior tub and floor have all been made from thick sheet plastic.
Some resin casting of wheels and seats to do today.

The engine intake fans (the black bits) have been copied, painted and fitted.
The transmission has also been copied but not painted yet.

On we go.
