As i could'nt go to santa pod (well pi$$ed off) some pics of my latest models etc, finally (nearly) finished the glass cabinet to stick the models in, wired some leds up into strip lights foe each shelf, and made em switchable to white, red, blue (or any combination, and a switch for the lights in the models, heads, tail, spots etc, finished the caddy big scale V16, heads, tails, dash and rear pass lights work,
also bought these two pre made (and badly painted, small pics) models, mainly for the subjects, one is a 65 rivera "barris" custom, the other is a old's 442 cutlass (the brown one) the riv was hand painted in silver with yellowing laqure so stripped it and rebuilt, paint is spray silver with red laquer over and clear top, also found some "bare metal foil" from the usa which allows me to do a half decent job of chrome trim etc, much better than my shakey hand silver paint attemps, finally the 68-9 rivera is sopposed to be a replica of the riv i had some years back, tried to keep to the colours i did it in, the paint is B&Q pearl effect which gives a red/pink effect in certain angles and light green in others, sprayed this over white base with clear top, my old riv had similar paint but the flake was green/blue in sunlight,
no working lights on these as the heads on the riv (real one) were air (vacume) opperated on a swivel arrangement, and the model's not got em,
so aint been slacking
