Evenin Everyone,

Thanks for the comments

Slow week this week, just didn't have the energy to do anything.

But i did manage a bit......

Here we go....

PIX

Got a couple of different silver's on the engines including alclad Magnesium on the nozzles, it's not all shiny like alclad should be but i got the effect i wanted

Matt Black on the intake innards.

Added some colour to the detail

Used yellow, red and blue to add some heating effects

In position on the main frame

Primered up the side neon floaty thingys, mmmmmmmmmmmm Primer

So far

Underside

I've given Colin arms and will be fitting him into the cockpit soon.

I need to even up the paint a bit but thats no problem.

I think i know what the front end will look like, think Manta Ray?

I don't even know how you are going to be able to see the engine detail, if at all, i was tempted to do a fully detail interior but as i don't know what the profile is really going to look like thats difficult to figure out, i still need a place for the battery........

Going to do a quiz/competition for the final colour scheme, so get thinking and stay tuned....

Take care

I just cannot imagine the way your brain works !!

Each picture is a lesson about using every day so-named useless items !!
razor packaging piece, caps, vodka pouring spout, and so on, and so on, and so on !

A god ! You're just a scratchbuilding God !!

Gag, great work you inspire the rest of us to reach even farther.

JohnSimmons · Apr 7, 2014

Lol I went to see the second one at Ipswich many many years ago.

The Nylon Gag · Apr 11, 2014

Evenin Everybody,

Thanks for the feedback and very positive encouragement.

Just for the record, some people have commented on my choice of viewing in the back ground, i think Bottom is one of the best TV shows of the 90's and still stands up today.

But............moving on,

I'm still finding it very difficult to come up with ideas this week, I've only managed to squeeze in a little bench time, and what I have done is a bit Meh, in my opinion

But lets get to it anyhoooo

Pix..

I had an aftermarket helmet in my stash and i wanted to make Colin's helmet a bit Stig-E-fyed so i added this nose piece and some filler to be shaped later
