Hi all well this is going to be left for a while to let me cool off (I came sooooo close to throwing it against the wall) went to fit the wings and complete radiator as you saw I did in the last update and with those in place tried a fit of the bonnet (no chance 6 mill gap at the front, or back depending on where you want the gap) after several minuets of scratching my head I figured out what the problem was there was a gap all around the top of the firewall of about 2 mill, lift the front of the car a bit gap disappears and the bonnet fits perfect (I think the floor pan is bent) (I know the back part is but thought I would sort that when I finally glued it on) so lifted the front of the car glued the firewall to the body let it dry, released the body and the bottom of the firewall came away from where that was glued (too much stress I guess ) after a very fidely application of glue to that area, mahoosive amounts of taping to hold it there, let that dry undo the tape all fits perfect, just start applauding myself for sorting it and ping gap at the top again. How I stopped myself I don't know, but I didn't throw it, I don't want to come that close again so having a break for a little while.

Would there be a part in the rest of the body that lifts it at the front? I had a kit years ago that only lined up when all the body was together

Hi all well I've figured it out, On the ladder frames which you slide the subframe on the sub frame was about a mill away from end of the ladders which through everything else out unfortunately that part was stuck with a capitol S but with a lot of jiggeling I've moved it the mill required so now back to work, I've added the inner roof lining and weathered it.    for some reason the weathering is not showing up in the pics very well, trust me it looks very grubby. |

Man oh man - are you sure you are not posting pictures of a 1:1 in front of a green screen, so you can photo in pics that look like home?
So realistic, it is truly a masterpiece sir. I continue to flip back to that rear seat, WOW - and all so many details - totally wicked awesome sir!!! |

Still amazes me this is plastic! A few small dents would be cool, like maybe some light hail damage on the hood? but then you would probably need to do that on the roof and rear as well. You have tons of work in this as it is, maybe just leave it the way she is - perfect right now for sure!!

Hi all well I got £100 off my boss for xmas so ordered some gold leaf for the infamous ship a 1/16 revell VW Karmenn Ghia and managed to find German 1/8 machine gun for this dio 29.99 (bit pricey and it's not even a kit) I figure the effort I've put into this and the cost of the kit it will be worth it (yes it's a German machine gun but I figure they could have stolen it)

Hi all well I've now been told (not on here) I am ruining a beautiful kit and I should be ashamed of myself, is that true (I could strip it all off and start again) although I would rather bin it, I am on a few other forums and would normally ignore a few negative comments but on the other forums no one has commented for 2 months so are they right am I ruining a kit (I thought you were free to build as you liked ) one reason I'm asking is one of the comments came from the forum I won member of the year, I was enjoying this build, trying lots of new things, and, I thought succeeding, to be perfectly honest I would rather bin it than strip it. In fact I think I may do just that, I am so deflated now, I thought I was doing some of the best work I've ever done.

I would agree with the last sentence of your post. I think you're doing your best work yet and the next will be even better. I wouldn't box this up, just wouldn't post on that site for awhile lol. How is it ruining a kit if you are building it the way you want and doing a damn fantastic job at it. I don't see how making it looking like an actual used vehicle, that's seen its fair share of weather.

I think it's an awesome build. I'm sure I am not the only member learning lots from you on weathering. Keep at it Ken, it's going to be awesome when you get it finished and your dio idea will certainly put the naysayers in their place. It would be very boring if we all built clones of the same car

i say it looks great and you're doin a dam fine job of weathering. would be a shame to not finish it. as far as anyone who says you're ruining a good kit, can't please everyone and rivet counters should be shot.
