  1. My pleasure mate if I can help with any aspect of modeling I'm happy to.
  2. I know it's got a cross in it but if you click on the link it works
  3. I posted a tutorial on one of the forums I'm on, on how I do it, I would post here but I don't know where to post it. I could post a link to it if you like.
  4. Hi all well I'm back from Scotland so did some work on this today, this is as much detail as the kit supplies I've done a trial fit in the body to see how it looks, I've got more pipework and wiring to add yet.
  5. Did some work on the fuel pump, Tamiya would have you use plastic tube for the fuel lines whereas they are metal on the real thing. Since I've used artistic licence already and depicted gold plated nuts and bolts I decided to depict gold plated fuel lines too.
  6. OK so I've added the advance retard pipe to the distributor (assuming you can even see it) Body painted. And more work on the engine
  7. Hi all added battery cables and starter motor cables. I've got to say I'm super happy with the metal effects on this. The casings would be made of magnesium and I've worked up close and personal on hundreds of these and I don't think I could get more realistic results, I tried a different approach, normally I use ABT engine grease thinned down to a wash but I didn't want to disturb the mig steel colour I had used which I know white spirit based wash would so I tried a wash of vallejo engine grey over it. I'm loving the result, I can see me using this again.
  8. OK so as you can see I'm not building this as a showroom car but rather as one that has just finished a race.
  9. The fuel cell is fiber glass and has to be certified each year.
  10. Hi all well I've made a start. For a Tamiya kit there are some horrid seams on the front end. I've not glued anything in the front yet, this is just for a look see I've masked the inside of the tank and tried to show some fuel in there.
  11. OK so more work on the carbs (I know they look a bit granular atm I will work on improving that.
  12. Thanks Rob I take it the stays are the triangular sails on the standing rigging.
  13. Hi all just won this on ebay(won't be starting it for a while as this covid is doing a real job on me atm)
  14. OK so I've done work on the ships boats. And she has her name on the stern too. Added the top rail.
  15. OK so this is how the carbs should look Here's my start, yes it needs loads more detail
  16. More work, definitely got to do something with those carbs) IMG_0296.MOV
  17. Hi all I promise I've not given up on this, that ships boat I can only do one plank a day as I have to wait for the glue to dry. I've added the panel ornamentation panels to the gunwhales.
  18. Yes I figured there would be a reason for such loose fitting parts.
  19. Hi all next update the crank shaft is poorly represented So I filled the gaps (I hope it still works it's so heavy now I realise it a plastic kit but look at the huge tolerances, I may have to add some piston rings. This is how they would have you put the pistons together It would be impossible to remove the seam line like that, so I decided to drill the hole for the gudgeon pin out of one side.
  20. I give up trying to work out how to put pics where you want them, I hope you can work out what I mean
  21. Hi all well started painting the casings, these are the paints I used I don't always use these, I depends on the effect I want to achieve. So I randomly stipple it on Then I use I stipple it on randomly
