Well i think i have the model car feaver! I just orded a whole bunch of kits and wheels

[GTI1800]

GTI:

That looks great!

Looks very nice in silver!

Well im stuck at the moment.

I let the putty (tamiya basic putty) dry over night but it still seems to be wet!

Will it dry? or have i used too much putty?

Im worried that once it painted the paint will crack.
I sanded it back but when i press on the underside of the styreen sheet the whole thing moves

Here is a picture of how it looks:

Anyone?

well, personaly i have never used the stuff, only bondo body filler on modifiers, but i no when my bondo was like that i had to let it set and sit there for a couple days, if its wet, i would say its no dry, as long as u let it completely dry, and sand it down all nice and smooth you wont even notice it under the paint.

Lookin good Spoolin!! How about yellow with chrome wheels?

Looks good. I think that you just have to let it dry for a little longer and it'll be fine.

imo i think you shoud brace the underside a little bit more to stop any flexing of the filler, i assume that you didnt use very thick poly card for the underside, use some extra thick card. that should take away the flexing. and leave the model somewhere warm and dry.

other than that the model is looking great, i much prefer the smooth bonnet, looks much better, maybe you could include a small vent off to one side, do a search for "peugeot ecosse" on the internet to see their 206!

Ok Thanks guys.

I will reinforce it with some more card.

Camber:
That could be a idea!........either that or lime green

I will decide when the time comes.

Oh c'mon!! Not lime green..!! Why don't you try semi-gloss black with metallic wheels (I mean - no chrome), or even white wheels...I think it'd look good in black!!

hmmm i will have to see.......

i also think it would look good in gloss black.

lets have a vote!

1) Lime green

2) Yellow

3) Black

4) Silver (I dont realy want to do silver mainly for the reason that GTI has already done it)

Lime green.

And imho I think you shouldn't use white wheels as they use them in the wrc and chromes would look more street I think. Should look good either way tho.

[Y the alphabet mem]

I say, go with Lime Green
