I've been up to things.
Today I finished my first attempt at using custom made decals. Nothing special as a first attempt, just some stripes.
I also did some work on the interior.
I removed the passenger seat and added some tubing. It was all later painted black.
The decals are okay. I've learned a lot on this first attempt.
I've learned that I'd really like to have access to a laser printer, I've learned that these decals are so delicate they'll crumble and die if you look at them funny. I've also learned that I shouldn't use an aggressive clear coat on them or else everything becomes a mess.
Also apart from the decals my work on it is absolutely awful. Screw it all, the pictures reveal mistakes I didn't even know were there! And that's on top of the mistakes I did know about (the front is an interesting mix of failures).
Ah well, as a test mule it's fine.
The next one I rather like. I'm pretty sure I posted a teaser a long time ago of the spoiler I fabricated out of a beer can. Finally the finished result.
The spoiler looks good, but it's a flimsy little thing (I managed to break it off once during detailing!). This is definitely just a display piece. I'll probably paint the ends of the axles since they look out of place with the black wheels.
Also I've just realized that the body isn't sitting well on the base. I've not actually glued the two parts together, so that's another thing I need to fix.
