Lotus Super 7

Hi all,

Been a very long time for me since I have posted on here, so to anyone that knows or remembers me "how have things been?"

Anyone here is one of the models that I actually finished and am quite proud of! Dont laugh, for me its not a bad effort. Decided to go with the British Racing Green and I was very happy how it went on and the colour aswell. Anyway enjoy the pics

Ciaran

Re: Lotus Super 7

I built one of these once in Metallic Blue and remember it was a nice little kit.I like the contrasting red you have used on the seats,it goes well with the British Racing Green paintwork.
Nice job on the engine as well.

Nice build, I have not seen one of these on here before. I think the color you chose works well for this car and the red interior sets the whole car off tieing it together very well. Good job and welcome back.

Hi Dublinguy and welcome back, I've got one of those litle Lotus Seven's somewhere, I painted it to represent the car that Patrick Magoohan drove in the '60s television show The Prisoner, I'll dig it out and post some pics, maybe we could have a thread all about Lotus cars if there isn't one already that is.

Lotus Seven

Not to hijack your thread but here's a quick photo of my Lotus Seven in Metallic Blue.I think this was my first car model after years of making aeroplane kits.The inspiration for the model was the cover of the Chris Rea album Auberge.I sometimes wish all car kits were like this one,nice and simple and out of the box!!

Yes it is a PE part, definately makes a difference in the kit.

Stevenoble, dont worry about posting the pic, your car looks great, looks good in the blue.

To everyone, thanks a million for the kind words and support. Will post up another car in the motorsports section that I have finished (There aint many of them in my collection!!!..lol)

There has been a few, but not many. It's nice to see some together here.

I built the one below years ago, not my best result, but it was a fun kit to build. My inspiration was also 'The Prisoner' TV series.

Very nice, especially to see a traditional roadgoing one for a change w/o the ubiquitous racing parts like Minilites/rollbar, multi-color paintjob .

Mogster,

Looks nice, love the yellow on the nose, had thought about doing that but changed my mind (obviously!!)

ZoomZoom

Yeah I noticed that myself about the car thats why I went with the road version.

Thanks again for all the kind comments, certainly makes me want to share more of my models on here and strive to improve my building techniques.
