my new camera arrived today and i couldn't help but test it out indoors, at 3:30am and under bad lighting.
here's three more pics.
(hehe.. ghost in the shell.....)
more to come in proper daylight....
also, I didn't really have any problem with the clear part in the windscreen.
the positioning is a bit akward being set at two different angles at the top and bottom but a little sanding here and there and it sits in the frame perfectly.
only gripe i have is that I don't have an airbrush and the connecting points of the chrome parts are less than conspicuous. I have since then gotten hold of a lot of Bare Metal Foil. The next time I need to do trim of any sort, I'd probably end up BMFing it all after a bleach-strip.
And yes, the scale of the side screen parts are a little out of scale.
As I said, this was more or less a two part test:
i) how to best build the body/clam-shell and interior (almost a success)
ii) try out my then newly aquired bottle of Autoglym Resin Polish on Tamiya TS paints (pleasing results)
so i wasn't too bothered about that.
I WILL build another one of these with as much detail as I can in the near future so that one will get my full attention to all "faults".
