hi all this is fighting me all the way, I bought some barrier coat and sprayed it with that then gave it a coat of gloss white and its reacted with the barrier coat, you cant really see from the pics but there are little wrinkles in the paint so Im hoping sanding back where the wrinkles are down to bare plastic and re spraying will solve it.

It is but she won't notice (its not her car they hired it to tour the USA) so I'm hoping she won't notice anyway.

Hi all well since the citroen is now probably bin fodder I thought I better get on with this (plus christmas is round the corner) (actually I think I ought to give up modelling, I'm obviously crap at it)

I know the canvas bit looks as though it dosn't fit but when taped in it all fits

makes no difference anyway I'm getting fed up of always ruining models.

Yeah I see what you mean.   Just ‘cause I’m totally in awe of your skills in this conversion; Doesn’t mean your any good at this stuff……..Yeah, Right.

 

Someday I’ll hope to be as courageous and inventive as you, in tackling modeling and scratch builds. But by then you’ll probably have moved on to the exciting world of weaving straw hats out of dried Bermuda grass.  Sigh
