Hi all well i figured since i seem to be ruining everything i touch lately i thought maybe i should try a new kit, if i make a hash up of this im going to take it as time to hang up my modeling tools and give up all together i decided to do all the chrome on this gold i was having trouble getting the gold leaf to stick to this but now is sorted the gold leaf sticks now but I couldn't get a good shine on it (its too soft as soon as you try to buff it (however gentle you are)it rubs off) so I've had to settle for imitation gold leaf (it's a bit tougher) I think it looks much better.

This is the main colour I'm doing it (not even sure if I will be adding another colour yet) I think the gold looks good with it,  opinions please?

Hi all well i was looking at a poacher build of this car and (although it's a 1/8 kit do twice the size of this) I thought I could add more detail to the engine so I've removed a bit moulded to the engine (not sure what the part is) but I've seen it in a lot more detail on the poacher kit and I think it is a fairly easy bit to improve (I'm not saying this will end up like a poacher kit but I am going to try and add what detail I can)

What's a 'Poacher' build if you pardon my ignorance.

They're mega expensive ultra detailed kits costing upwards of 500 quid, they were no longer being made but airfix have released a 1/4 scale ducati under the pocher name so you never know maybe they will release some of the older ones.

Hi all revell put the location tab for this part but for some reason didn't make the part.

I've fabricated it also the other bits which are attached to the sump (don't know what any of the parts are) but they help fill empty spaces, they are not exactly right the black box thingy with 2 nuts on the top should have 3 but I've not got any small enough, but I figure it's better than having nothing there.

Hi all done the seats now, I quite like the used leather look, I've tried not to go too far, I want it to look cared for.
