Hiya Chris,
There are quite a few places to get SMS and F1 Specialties online. First would be their websites http://www.scalemotorsport.com and http://www.f1specialties.com/ both based in the US. Rainbow 10 carry SMS stuff under the Sakatsu name but they are even pricier than regular SMS. Here in Australia John Lancaster, of Grand Prix Miniatures Australia is the SMS distributor, web site is http://www.grandprix.minitures.com.au. And yeah it is spelt that way - ask John why that happened! I'll be picking some sheets up from John when I drop by next week. Wong from MediaMix Hobby out of Singapore also carry SMS. Best place is probably Modelcrafts and Hobbies in New Zealand, URL is http://www.modelcraftsandhobbies.co.nz. Because they stock SMS and F1S. Also the NZ dollar is very low (even for those of us dealing in Aussie Pesos) and shipping from NZ is cheap for some reason, even cheaper than domestically in Australia. I have delt with all of the above retailers, except SMS, directly and can safely say you will not have any problems with them. Don't know about Modeller's and Fujimi. Think I recdall that modeller's didn't confrom to complex curves too well, but I could be mistaken. Give them a try and report back on the results - you can never have too many different carbon fibre patterns  On top of all that there you'd imageine there would be a distributor somewhere in England. Probably check out the SMS and F1S websites, they might include contact numbers for Pommy stores. I've got a sheet of the new Museum Collection carbon fibre. Haven't tried it yet but the pattern is very interesting. Merry Christmas everybody. I'm off to do the family Christmas thing for the next week and a bit. Hope to see you all safe and well when I return

Happy New Year
Back form Christmas a couple of days now, remotivated to build some Peugeots! Here is the latest progress on the NZ 2000 206. Body shell is decaled, will leave it for a few days to let it thoroughly dry before clear coating it.  More evidence to support the accusation that I am a decal nut. These are the left over backing papers after all the carrier film has been cut from around the decals!  Bought a big batch of Alcalad paints whilst in Melbourne, this is their colour “Pale Burnt Metal” for the brake hubs and callipers. Just sprayed it straight on the black plastic – mighty nice stuff!  Another shot of the front with the Rampant Lion emblem.  Also picked up a resin Peugeot 905 by Profil 24. The 1992 Le Mans winning version. Will have to find time on my schedule to start that soon - along with all the other part finished projects on the shelf

Amazing work so far!
It’s been real nice to fallow this progress thread not only for the result you’re getting but also to admire and learn something from you’re amazing modelling skill.

Cool Seb. Just warning you that when I start to build my Xsara I plan to steal your great ideas shamelessly!

The Pugman is back to reassure all the Pugfans that things are moving along in Pugworld :toothless
Here are a few crappy shots of the latest developments. The body has been clear coated and polished. Took a while becaus the Carpenta decals that I used for the Rally NZ bonnet and door plates were very think and didn't take too well to the Tamiya clear. They crinkled slightly event though I started with very light mist coats. In retrospect I should have left these decals to last and applied them over the top of the clear coat. That would look more true to life since the bonnet plate is actually a metal sheet riveted to the hood and the door numbers are adhesive vinyl applied over the paintwork. First shot shows the roof monted camera I've pieced together. There will be a cable running from it to the driver's door held down by silver decal representing duct tape.  A couple of pictures of a dry run assembly of the suspension. Sorry about the shaky photography.   Big bore exhaust WRC style.  Rivet holes drilled out. Making them nice an big this time.  Finaly a (very dark) snap of the dash with the switchgear installed and painted.  Hopefully completion is not too far off now.
