Looks very clean & tidy



TBH I'm not so sure about the silver wheels though ... unless you're going to echo that somewhere else on the body - like your helmet ?


edit - that sounds rude

how rude

your right definitely echoing silver I have to tie the wheels to the body, so the dash cowl on the cockpit and the Helmet will help us out here

Started preparation of the body tonight, couldn't believe that the black around the driver came off with my high pressure airgun




The drivers head looks to have had an old man with the shakes paint it and use the same yellow for the eyes that was used for his suit




Oh well it will soon be gone. Tomorrow i'll remove the rest of the paint and sand it all down

Hey all, well I finished removing all the paints off the body and helmet, then wet sanded with 600 grit . Gave everything a good wash then laid down the first coats on each, i'll give them another coat tomorrow . Coming up nice I think

Ok so I think i've let the paint harden up enough, so tomorrow night i'll start detailing the driver and the cockpit

Right, well did plenty with the driver painting tonight and tomorrow I should finish to be ready for the decals i'm not going to show the head until its on but i'm very happy with how its coming along

Please tell me the driver isn't finished

Yes why don't you like?

Lol no no, I progressed much further than this however there is still much detail work to be done after looking at yours and others detailing I felt I had to put in a great effort here not to let my build down by half doing the driver

this is what I call teaser pics

still have some minor detailing to do before appling the decals, but i'm pretty happy with results so far, and his head is coming along nicely too

Ok so I've completed the body , I did all paint and decals then finished with 2 coats of clear. I very happy with the driver , was a little tiresome doing all the detail but work it in the end? Now that this parts completed its time to put the last of the electronics in and shes done .
