Hi all well i figured since i seem to be ruining everything i touch lately i thought maybe i should try a new kit, if i make a hash up of this im going to take it as time to hang up my modeling tools and give up all together i decided to do all the chrome on this gold i was having trouble getting the gold leaf to stick to this but now is sorted the gold leaf sticks now but I couldn't get a good shine on it (its too soft as soon as you try to buff it (however gentle you are)it rubs off) so I've had to settle for imitation gold leaf (it's a bit tougher) I think it looks much better. This is the main colour I'm doing it (not even sure if I will be adding another colour yet) I think the gold looks good with it, opinions please?

I really like that color of green, has some real "Class" to it!! Gold looks great against it as well!!

Hi all revell put the location tab for this part but for some reason didn't make the part. I've fabricated it also the other bits which are attached to the sump (don't know what any of the parts are) but they help fill empty spaces, they are not exactly right the black box thingy with 2 nuts on the top should have 3 but I've not got any small enough, but I figure it's better than having nothing there.

Great work so far KP, i hope the gold alclad does the trick, as i think the gold leaf lets the grill down a bit compared to the rest of it.

Hi all done the seats now, I quite like the used leather look, I've tried not to go too far, I want it to look cared for.

Oh well I've got another problem, we're baby sitting our daughters puppy (I can't be angry he's such a sweetie) being as how I've not had a dog for 20 odd years and my missus not  had one for even longer, we're a bit out of practise, the dog is tiny it's a sausage dog he's 16 inches long so imagine my surprise that he can get parts off a 30 inch high table. The fuel cap is missing a few other bits are chewed (not too bad they can't be fixed) ( some of the ship parts I don't want to think about (gulp the Soliel may end up shelved) I made a concerted effort to stick to just this build to try and get my confidence back and although I can't get a good gold effect on it so far, I'm pleased with how it's going, I may end up just spraying the gold with gold paint or doing it high gloss black, it's funny I would be so cross if a human had damaged these kits but I melt when I look at frankie, I do love dogs, I look at this tiny animal and I just can't understand how some people can hurt innocent little creatures, I look at him and my heart melts

I know what you are saying Ken.
Our cat, and dogs have a conspiracy working. The cat, Peanut, gets up on the bench, finds something loose she can knock off to the waiting teeth of Shadow and Prime. They are such loveable fuzzies, I only get mad for a second, then I think oh well, plastic is fun for humans and pets alike!
The Shadow....
The Peanut....
The Optimus Prime....

Prime looks like he's smiling whilst planning some mischief in that pic and shadow looks so laid back he's becoming one with the couch, peanut looks like he's /or she's just been caught in the act. Lovely pets.

Coming along nicely i think, the gold does look "right" i think, it blends in well with the interior color too, just not so well with the pink toe socks..... ps: straighten up the front wheel too, it will make a difference to the final product mate ..
