Preparation 7

It's still going to take a while to finish this. Getting the panels to line up perfectly and in the right place is no easy job.

I had a few runs due to impatience and paint incompatibility. Transparent silver and black didn't like each other in 10 degree ?HEAT? not ideal.

Anyway, it will tidy up nicely in the next few days. Still pissed about the side skirts.

Grr.r

Paint Mistake! Ahhh!

With sooooo many pieces I was bound to screw something up.

I have to rush these days with limited free time.

5 colours for this body. I thought I had it all in the right place. But!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHGH!

I dicovered later. I forgot to paint the rear of the sideskirts the lightest shade. Grrrr!

Time for lots of stickers in that area!

Wheels.

Yeah Baby!!!

Castrol Green Rays Volk Racing RE-30!

Gonna be cool!

Scheme colours

A bit of a departure from white, but I feel a silver combo with two shades of gun metal and carbon will allow for a better accent with bright fluro green lines. I'll be painting the wheels also.

Stay tuned.

Paint should flow in the next few days... after the bad weather passes.

Masking Time

It's turning out to be pretty special. My combination of the Renown design and Efini colours will look pretty good I think.
Dashed lines will be silver, There will be some gun metallic and white with varying levels of pearl and transparancy.

Slightly changes with the dimensions of the body of course. small changes to make it all line up.
Just have to cut a few more masks then it's paint time!

210mm not forgotten.

Why 210? Because this is the HPI 200mm shell + 10mm kit. It's going to be pretty cool!

This is the first time I have strapped the body panels together and I must say, Its got good dimensions.
Body colour white and transparent silver backed with white.
Silver Renown colour scheme.
RE-30 may become white!


Anyway, I have been busy with my real car, so the mini FD has had to wait.

BTW, I found my 10 year old MiniZ. Have to sort this out.... one day.

Livery revised...

This body may take a while. I have a new 1:1 so the image may change to vaguely replicate what may never happen there.

Renown influence, Efini influence, Street Warrior.
