group build : marble lotus super 7
Well I started my lotus for the group build and wanted to something entirely different than all the engine swaps you see, so I choose to paint my caterham in a black/green marble effect. Hope you like the result eventough it's not finished yet. Needs a lot of polishing , clearing, polishing, clearing...

Re: group build : marble lotus super 7
This looks great. Good idea and execution. Looking forward to see it all polished up.
But isn't the Lotus 7 supposed to be light?

Re: group build : marble lotus super 7
That looks very sick. Definatly not something you see often, actually i havnt seen anyone do that. A nice set of gunmetal or black rims and itd look killer, imo. Definatly keep us posted, great start!

Re: group build : marble lotus super 7
I love "off the wall" ideas
 12/10 for originality  I'd love to know in more detail how you went about painting that effect. I read something once on the Iwata tips site but didn't really understand it  Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Re: group build : marble lotus super 7
That's a totally crazy looking paint job!
 After clearing and polishing, I expect it really will look like polished marble. It looks stunning. Gonna tell us how you did it?Cool idea, one I would have never thought of. I could see it as a 1:1 being shown off at a Seven club event- "Marble? Nah, the car was originally British Racing Green- but it's seen a bit too much sunlight, and this is what happened after some fading and cracking!"

No, I'm not going to tell you how I've done it. It's MY idee and i don't want anybody to steal it ;-) Just kidding. As soon I have some spare time I'll make detailed step by step with pictures how I've done it. I could explain it just by typing a text, but nobody would understand it without pictures. It's not that hard at all and you don't even need an airbrush to make the marble. I painted the entire car in about 2 hours, but there will be a LOT of clearing and polishing involved.
