Hi,

In answer of the putty use, this is a special plaster... very easy to use and good satisfaction....
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/77385731.jpg

The chassis or frame (i don't know) is paint with primer and masking because it will be in yellow (under) and black.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/3736572.jpg

Now the body:licker: :licker: :licker: :licker: ............

After a primer, i use an automotive paint in yellow....
At this step, no polishing pads..... and no polish cream.....
The wheel is AOSHIMA size 19"..... and the inside is paint also.....

Hi, this is my first post to the forum :D

As you can probably guess from my tag, I'm a Focus owner myself and so was really interested to read about your conversion of the WRC Focus.

I'd like to have a go at doing a road-version of this kit for myself, so was wondering how much of the standard kit's interior you'll be using. Will you be using any non-standard parts?

BTW, love that shade of yellow :cool:

Wow! Thats coming out really good, that space tyre in the back is fat ass! I should try something like this....But living in Oz, its pretty hard to get "accesories". Been thinking of a "Pimpin' project" sort of Impala, maybe a 96 SS....Real good work on this Focus!

Hi,
thanks to all messages for encouragment....

All products, (touch polishing pads, flex-pads sand, knife set rasor.............and Novus polishes are available on
www.micromark.com (http://www.micromark.com)

The black lines are made by some paint guache (LEFRANC & BOURGEOIS, deep black).... It's use with water only.... no marks on the body because you use some water....

Grilles are in the model kit, for the lateral holes, i use an other front grille of a model car kit.
:flipa: :flipa: :flipa:

Thanks and enjoy...
