A belated welcome to the forum from me KP. Wow, that is some work and surgery that you are carrying out on this huge kit! I really like what you've done so far, great stuff

Hi all another update, I've made the carpets out of wet and dry then the driving mat out of couser sand paper.

[ShaunW]

Interesting stuff KP and in this large scale the sandpaper/wet and dry gives a good effect.

Hi all here is the next update




I think gold and purple are a great mix sooo,
Chrome

Some of this through the ab

And you end up with gold

Now that's a tip I shall remember. It'll come in handy for motorcycle builds.

[ShaunW]

Fantastic work and a great tip re the gold effect!

[syd-baines]

[kpnuts]

Hi all got the fire wall on, then couldn't resist trying the body on.

[Dazzled]

Impressive

Great work and ideas, I'm looking forward to the final reveal. Thanks for sharing.

[ShaunW]

Coming together really well. That has to be one of the biggest car kits that I've ever seen!

The only kits to come near it are pocher. This kit has 1054 parts a pocher has 2000 plus but they count all the hundreds of screws and nuts individually so actual parts count is much lower, plus if you can find them pocher start at 500+ and go up from there ive seen a partially started rolls royce sedanca go for 2300 on ebay this kit is still in produ tion and i got mine for 120 quid. Its a superb kit and the fit is perfect the same cant be said of pocher kits though. Mind you if i had the spare cash i would still get one.
