'34 by Edsel
Here's the latest build by Edsel, it's a Lindberg 1/32 scale '34 that he got from the Tumut NNL
He painted the body parts with Testors Deja Blue under supervision, and I gotta say this paint is hard to mess up looking at the finish he got. Whilst it's a bit heavy handed it just goes to show that if your not getting great results with your paint go get yourself some of this stuff!! He brush painted the interior and front suspension with flat red and we found some spare 1/32 wheels that he painted chrome silver. I foiled the grill and window with him and helped during final assembly, the windscreen went in without glue surprisingly! he had a ball doing this over the last few weekends of spare time. He's already keen to start the Snapper that Andy & Naz gave him for his B'day.
and here's a comparison with a 1/25th
