Hi all,
thanks a lot for all your nice comments and encouragement!!
Some more steps have been made, the body parts (front and back) are assembled and spraypainted. I decided to mask the orange areas and paint them because i was afraid of millions of dust pieces and fluff being covered under these large decal parts. Hard to "present" the real colours. Like always, they appear different in flesh.
The thin black line is from the decal ........took me quite a while to cut them out.
The car/ the whole surface looks quite "boring" without a race battered look, isn't it?
This mystical car deserves that special appearance later on, i think you know what i mean....;-)...........talking about "emotional miniatures".......
The wheels are finished seperately and are ready for fixation (via screws), these white-blue-red markings (John Wyer Team) are handpainted with pastel chalks instead of using the decals. The yellow marks on the sides are handpainted also refering pics in the Joe Honda book depending the 917 (VEEERY useful indeed!!!)
Btw, the decals are of "poor quality".........unfortunately. And annoying.
So, on to the finish, decals and then.......DUST, DIRT, SCATTERED FLIES, FLOW MARKS and other signs of action.
that's it for now, all the best
good fight-good night
