Blimey mate, busy busy - your going to need a bigger build area. OC. -
Think I can start this regardless of the rain - I could build the sub-assemblies like the bottom tub with all its bits and pieces, the top hull and turret, I will then be able to support them from underneath to prime/paint them, then attach them when thoroughly dry. OC.
-
Another interesting build my friend, I have Two experiences of the type as the Beetle - a friend used to have a modified "Boy Racer" type, and earlier than that a schoolboy friends farther used to own a stock one with no mods, very quirky cars. OC.

Tell me about it, I should have invested in some of that there waterproof paint😀 but the lamp is perfic, so I guess I could do some more figures - can't have enough figures. OC.

Nothing wrong with that Lou - like it. OC. -
Need to wait till it stops raining outside so I can prime/paint the spues - then I can start building, so tempted to have a go at modeling the interior but "Boy" is it complex - OC. Pic off the net.

Very very nice Bob - a real feast on the eye. OC.

Look what arrived today - the lamp looks like just what I need, the other one was just too small and not enough light, this one also plugs into the mains - the other one was a rechargable with very liitle run time. OC.

Was thinking of doing somthing similar to a Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo as Model Art do a few differnt colours just not the Red colour like so nearly owned years ago, my idea was to get on and mask and respray it - then I changed my mind due ot using rattle cans. OC.

Very very nice mate - your workmanship has shown of some real graceful lines, another superb exhibit for your case. OC. -
I dont really know much about resins and this will sound neive but could the resin coats have not been applied in thinner coats with a wide brush but far more of them over the top of the previous ones after thorough hardening between layers - would that not work? OC.

Ita amazing to think of small cara as being family suitable for long trips - my grandad used to own a 1931 Austin Seven and used to cram Four of them and cases and the dog and cat and go 150miles to the seaside for a holiday in it one of these - Not my pic. OC.

Indeed mate, but I must resist must be a good boy.😁 OC.

Yummy look at that "Spooky" would love to see that started..........😃 OC.

I always build things with a relavence to us the Chally is no different, another of the places where we used to live - we were about 3 miles away form a MOD firing range where Challengers and other field pieces used to do live firing, we would often hear them quite clear the Challys destinctive "snap" sound as it fired, also sometimes they would be driven past us on the roadway on either Scamell or those other more modern transporters - what a fantastic site over 100 tons tank/transporter combined. OC.

Now that would have made some history/future dio almost like a Doctor Who episode where Wellington brought an ultra modern over sized tank back from the future and drove it down the valley firing at all the french canons, can you imagine the looks on thier faces....... OC.
