After some prep work I did some primer; Zero Paints 2k. Lesson learned; use way more thinner than advised

It was a busy day. Painted the Group C Toyota white (again), put some Calsonic blue on the race GT-R and matt black and semi-gloss black on the regular GT-R

The paint was a but coarse. During a careful wet sanding with 4000grit, I was immediately burning through. More paint!

After some more paint, it is decals time!
Beware with this kit. The decal numbers aren't correct. You really have to pay attention!

That blue looks awesome. Decals look a little tricky.

Thanks mates. Some progress

I'll tell you what mate. Screw the body, with a little bit of imagination, this would make an ace, Dune Buggy! Nice work Martin.

I was waiting for someone to make that comment Bozzer!

Well you know me mate. Cars aren't my thing, but I love a nice man toy? I could blast something like that around, over the sand, for hours. Mind you, on the same point, I could do the same thing with Bo Derek, so I'd better put my mind back in the cave, before I get myself into trouble?
She still looks great though brother, and despite my adolescent fantasies, those decals look tough, but you got it done 👍

Spanjaard
LOL you are totally right Bozzer

Always happy to bring some light-hearted humour to the bench, lads.
It can't all be hard work and cursing, can it? 😉

13 May 2023, 13:13

Martin Oostrom
That's why we're here. Nobody serious in my builds 😂

And Bo Derek was already an 'old' woman in her thirties when I hit adolescence. Kim Basinger and Claudia Schiffer adorned my walls

Samantha Fox hit the spot for me. But in those days, there was something classy about the female models. Now it's all fish lips and filters. No wonder we resorted to plastic kits 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Plastic kits or plastic women, that's the question?
