Well, it's been a bit warm in the loft lately but I've got a bit done to the engine,

 

 

 

 

And the seats,

 

 

I'mnow ready for some primer on the body then some colour.

Now then Spider get those cockpit sides square - bit of cardboard and some glue should do it.      

 

Good progress otherwise

Martin, I'll bring the model on Tuesday so you can show me what's wrong.

[Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO]

After taking the model to the monthly meeting last night, I now know that I haven't altered the cockpit sides, so I've now rectified that,

 

 

 

 

 

Happy now Martin?

Moving on to the exhaust, the kit one is a bit too small so needed beefing up a bit,

 

 

New silencer made from a piece of sprue,

 

 

Holes drilled in each end,

 

 

 

Old and new, ready for paint.

And the engine is ready,

 

 

 

Thats all for now, some more rubbing then some primer and I can see how the body is looking.

I've got a bit more done to the model this afternoon,

 

All primed up and ready for the colour,

 

Moving on to the 'screen supports,

As they are on the Lotus,

 

 

 

And mocked up on the scuttle,

 

 

Painted.

Yes, the speedo is supposed to be like that.
