Great detail work Ray

[kunta]

very attractive work Ray! :flash:
I'm not good in interior detail work, so when I see the work like yours, I heave a sigh. :o

Thanks for the compliments guys

can you be ready for April Bmom Contest ?

Sorry Seb, I don't see that happening, but I do plan on entering one of my other models

I'm not good in interior detail work

I have seen your work and find that VERY hard to believe Kunta

Hopefully I will get enough done tonight to add an update, I made good progress last night, so tonight looks promising.

I like the details. Much attention and time went into it.

Are you going to put an engine in it?

Looking forward to see more progress pictures.

Marco, It would probebly be difficult to put an engine in it beings that there is no Focus engines availible until R/M releases the SVT Focus and even then, it's not a Cosworth therefore needing some modifications.

Not quite Brian, the engine in the rally car is a Cosworth prepared 2.0 Zetec with a turbo system and some other modifications, so providing the R-M kit comes with the Zetec engine, scratch building the turbo, headers and all the other details should not be impossible
The SVT utilises the same 2.0 Zetec engine with some different mods.
When the Focus kit from R-M comes out I intend getting one for just that reason

Marco, sadly no engine.....for the reason Brian mentioned

Which reminds me, Ray...Are there any Die cast Focus' w/engines.
At my hobby shop, there is one displayed and I cant get ahold of who built it. IT HAS AN ENGINE....I will try to get pics....

great work....love the headphones ..very cool

After much debating with myself, I decided to add an update to this thread.
The interior is complete now, I am happy with the look of things for now, but personally believe it could have been better.
I have also completed spraying of the body, I completed the blue tonight, so I hope to complete the decals by next weekend, and perhaps I will be able to post some photos of the complete model in the next week or 2
Here are a couple of shots of the interior, not very good photos as far as light, but at least they aren't blurry, right


The door panels have C/F on them too, but it doesn't really show in the photos....sorry....


Hope you enjoy

Great interior detail ray.
Your work in the belts is simply amazing.
I’m curious to see how your work in the body is going.

Great job Ray.

It's looking really good Ray. Why the debate before posting? I'm never 100% happy with a model, there are always bit and pieces where I think, hmm next time round I'll do it differently, but then again, most of the time people don't really see that.
