Just a small update to show the little added details to the inside of the door. (This week has been one step forward and two back as I spent most of it rebuilding the rear suspension after effectively punching the model across the desk by accident (long story!)) Depsite my previous comment there IS a clear picture of the inside of the door in my book. It shows this webbing strap used for closing it from inside, and the mechansim for unlatching from inside. This is basically the handle froma farm yard water tap and some baling wire! All this amazing technology and such an agricultural solution to opening the door.)
Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing. HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you. Read my scale modelling blog at www.latibuliser.com or mfhmazda787.com

Yep, that's crazy detail right there.
Oh, and a mirror for the floor of the display.

Ajay - On another thread someone said "If it's light and it works..." This thread has been slightly neglected, but I've been away celebrating my 50th birthday for a week. (!) Here's where we're at, with some quick phone pictures. It's mostly decalling from here on in, with just the gloss finish to achive. There's a deadline for this one, so forgive me if I go straight back to it! Gareth

Adding the final details now, including the tips to one of the antennae. And the last hot from the WIP bit. It's nice that the first bit I completed is the last part to be placed. The model is finished and ready to be mounted in it's box. i've done four solid days in the shed to get this finished by Saturday! (I'm not complaining, I've loved every minute ) I'll post some completion shots later. Thanks for following along again, Gareth

Thanks everyone. I did think about weathering it as if it had just finished a race, but it was too risky to try something I've never done before. It's on a base now Ajay, I quickly did some grid markings on a piece of wet and dry. I'll add another pic in it's case before it gets wrapped.
Thanks again, Gareth
