Good evening everybody.

A small update, painted the bonnet!!

WOW: So what you say. I don't blame you, small steps, fitting in with everything else and I still haven't painted my shed yet. Anyway a picture speaks a thousand whatsits:-
The gentleman now has the appropriate accouterments for a potential S1 owner (mug of tea, essential. Pipe, optional)

I will varnish/lacquer the bonnet and store it safely until the rest catches up and I can actually present a complete model on this forum in the not to distant future(this year).

Have a good weekend.

Charles

PS The weathering on the tyres and wheels, is real soil/earth, not paint 8) :-D

Number one fan here. Nice to see so much detail on the Bonnet/Hood, "fake dust not rust" the order of the day :lol:
After all the panels are alloy weren't/aren't they?
Ok, apparently not on the model. :lol:
Ps love the light mud on the tyres and wheels.

Good evening folks.

I have had to wait awhile for the headlight lenses to arrive, so was able to spend the afternoon pottering with the LED's and the wiring. Also catching up with the "TankFest" stream too.
Lenses tacked in place.

I have used watch lenses fitted over the light to get that rounded effect of the headlamp, I haven't scored them yet.
.... and someone said "let there be light"

Please note, If you are going down the road I am, you will require a larger badge to fix the grill on. nudge nudge wink wink 8)

As always take care and have fun.
