Revell 1/16 karmann ghia

Hi all here is my next short term project

That is totally awesome, i love that car and your spraying of the body parts looks great and faultless. Well done up to now. Looking really good.

Hi all here's tonight's bit

Man do i remember that engine, i had the 1600 TL fastback. What memories.

Hi all next bit.

NICE!!

Hi all here is the next update, I'm finding it difficult not to over do the weathering, I'm going for well cared for but used, thing is I love making things old and neglected I think it makes a subject more interesting, keeping that in check is proving extremely difficult, but I have to as the spray job is one of the best I've done, I'm really proud of the gloss (although I think that's just down to the great cheap paint) (incidentally I checked out thing me bobs where my missus said they sold it in metallic colours (only gold and silver in metalic) but even better bargain only a quid a can, of course I couldn't resist so I bought another 5 cans.

Nice work that is a really nice kit.

Hi all well the interior is completed.

Lovely work, what a great kit of a great car, i love it, well done.

Hi all well this is steaming along, not much longer now.

Awesome work.

Hi all here is tonight's bit on this one.

Lovely, great paint job.

Hi all well i ruined the rear window, got glue all over it, then panicked tried to get it off had glue on my fingers and got some on the body.

It's not perfect but will have to do

I think I will be able to hide some of the glue marks on the body one mark is under the door handle so when fitted hopefully it won't notice and the other I think I can polish out.

Why is it I seem to be able to ruin even the best of kits, I thought this was going to be one of my best (spraying always seems to be my achillies heal and this was perfect) but it's gone down hill since then, I am so cross I could hurl it in the bin, it is taking super human will not to, the doors don't fit well (that's why the doors are open) the chrome trim won't stay straight yet another kit ruined, and I thought I was over my bad spell, I recon I've got the bad modeler gene.

Lovely work almost done.

Hi all well I'm calling this done I've tried sorting the doors, one shuts okish the other I saved the hinge too much and got glue on it so now it's permanently open, I've decided only to look at the good bits I consider I've done on a kit, rather than look at the bad so I'm really happy with the paint job on this, it's super shiney and level ( painting is always my worst bit) so overall I'm happy with this build.

I think it looks great. The paintwork is exceptional. don't mind the door open at all.
