Tbh I don't really know as they stand alone not set in the body, I'm hoping they will turn up as they must be in the garage somewhere (it's a vynle coated concrete floor and she landed nose first so they could have flown a long way) thanks for offering though, I figure if I can't find them I could stage an accident with the transit escaping from the police.

Hi all here is the next bit   Buffed up the body a bit before adding the decals, needs a bit more doing to it but quite pleased so far.   Just to say I've not stopped on the bus (those seat decals are a real pain in the bum) I've not posted progress pics as it would be boring but nearly there on them) |

Really been watching this, I know it will be something to see when it is finished. I know what it is like to have an accident and can't find the parts. I don't handle that well. Beautiful finish on the black car, not sure what it is, Lotus maybe.

Hi all got some more done on the lotus and the bus. I've got to say I'm in awe of the engineering of the bus(when I left school I worked at loading the hoppers on injection moulding machines so I know the work that goes into the moulds of fairly simple things (I mean the items have to be able to be removed from the moulds) there is some amazing engineering on those seat frames. The seat decals though if I never see another one I will be happy. The lotus kit I'm warming to everything seems to fit well (do not like the decals, but could say that of a lot of premium kits) (they seem very stiff I'm hoping the gold body fine lines conform better)     |

lotus came out great and you can see the shine. Fountain is looking real. Looking like something you would find in a fine antique shop that a fine craftsman did.

Hi all well the lotus is finished, I have to say I'm more than chuffed with it, I think it is the best model I've ever made bar none. You should be proud of that Ken! Wow! The shine on that thing looks really good.  |

No I can't guess what it is for I can't even begin to THINK of how you do the stuff you do. Hurts me little head. Sure is a pleasure to watch it happen though.

Well that looks like some kind of entrance, to a theatre maybe? Honestly, I was starting to think you were starting to build the Roman Coliseum!!!

It's called el string, or to give it it's full name electro luminescence string you can bend it to all sorts of shapes (not sure how tight a bend you can make in it, but we'll see) got any ideas yet.
