Afternoon Everyone,

Just a quick post during lunch break.

Thanks for the comments guys, i hope it doesn't take me 15 years to finish this thing, i've got my next 3 projects lined up already. They will involve me learning some new skills such as, vacuum forming, mold making and casting, this also means I have to make a vac table, I've also come up with a very simple, cheap and original design for a roto-casting machine. Whether it's going to work or not is another story, stay tuned for futher updates........ ;D

Sooooooooo, on with the MK1. After receiving my donor stash on Monday i've spent this week detailing the rest of the back end. It's a very time consuming process.

What do you think?

Looking really good to me, all the surfaces are covered and the details are looking like they have always been there!

Really nice build, as always! ;)

Evenin Peeps,

Thanks for the comments my friends, glad you're enjoying this as much as I am.

Next.....

Masking, painting, removing masking, sanding, repainting, apply new masking, painting again, Remasking, re-repainting, removing masking, sanding, repainting, apply new masking, painting again.........you get the idea. ;D

Painting isn't my favourite thing, ::) mainly because i'm very impatient so I usually can't wait and i mess with them before they are dry and then their rubbish.

But, i'm really trying to be patient. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Anywhatevers,

Black primer, X-11 chrome silver first, then future, then hairspray, some sea salt and two coats of the X-8 Lemon yellow.

And removed the salt and then attacked them with a tooth pick, i still have to give them washes and some other stuff.

I have been thinking about the skin layout for some time, I wanted to keep the bottom layer very straight forward and fairly basic, because there will be another layer of some simple tubing runs and small details on top of this layer.

Some areas will definately need a extra detail, but I think i got a good balance, it looks right to me. ;D

What do you think Heardsters?
