Re: Completed: 1/24 Tamiya Peugeot 307 WRC

Being more than maniac I would just say two little things:
- in the 307 seatbelts are crossed (right and left upside down) on each seat to be attached to the bar.
- I think the lighpod is a bit two much over the hood, it should be more forward...

Thanks Phil, yes you are quite right. I think the light pod is not the best as it comes from a Heller kit, I tried to place it further down on the bonnet but the spotlights then pointed to the ground at too much of an angle and made it look silly... I will just have to accept it as it is

Thanks to everyone for all your comments, as for the wheels - I have had a couple of messages asking how I weathered them. I also paint metal miniature figures (Warhammer) and I use water based paints by Citadel for these. They are however great for weathering too. For these wheels I used a mix of dark brown and black ink, this was then carefully ran into the recesses of the wheels. I finally picked out the bolts with silver once this had dried and then gave it another wash of the same mix over the top to dull the silver slightly.
