Global Scale Modeller

Happy to join this for my first car build. basic Kit. Got a spare bottle of MRP imprezza blue and MRP clears to experiment with.
Also got some PE harness' from Eduard.

Got the annual winter LURGI.. fekkin kids. Small bit of priming and some PE belts while i suffer...

I had to look LURGI up...hope you feel better soon
Loving the seat belt detail, really good start

Small jumpy update. Just paint job gloss and trims plus a polish to go

Sorry for the different quality in pics. Had to relinquish my s8 when i departed employment and have a shitty phone and the batteries on the SLR are all a bit deconditioned since its been a while since i used it.. so here we go

I know what you mean am on only my 3rd car but am learning there is a system of doing them .like jumping around the instructions. Then you got to remember what you haven't done.

Exactly.. and not looking forward to masking the black window trims...

MRP Super Gloss First coat laid down and looks good. Smooth as and no thinners or leveling thinners required.. sprays as smooth as any of the MRP paints.. am impressed

Its looking good i have seen people useing marker pens to do windows havent tryed it yet but may give it a go has i always get paint where it shouldnt be

OO you mean like a sharpie?.. i saw someone use them to help clear mold lines...that sounds like its worth a try and a gloss coat over it.. maybe?
EDIT: looks shite... guess masking it will give me something to do while the show is on tonight...
