Does it purr and have teeth? Look forward to whatever you do

I think I should make some of these models, they look far easier than the builds I pick!

Indeed I do... "yes Michael" I get your drift ;)

Awwww, that's very kind of you to say so... Not an easy task, and that's mainly down to the designer of the patterns, but part alignment and symmetry on this car has to be spot-on... Figuring out where everything goes is the really tricky part! I have only managed to find two pictures of...

Chassis is under control, so I think its time for bodywork... A start point for me was the three quarter side panels... The tiny parts are the door handles. Wheel arches comprise of an upper and lower. Gluing a tab at a time, I worked my way from front to back. Once the upper was in place...

They are better than I expected, but not particularly brilliant at a certain point. As to the seams, I like to paint my models when I have enough sub-assemblies to do a job lot.... all will be good ;) Part of the kit, I'm good, but not that good You should know my posts by now, everything will...

Elevated to another level... job well done

More Stratos gubbins... Little discs were sourced from the parts, of which there are not enough on the sheet. Some are slightly different sizes etc, but I have grabbed what I need and doing it my way. The little stubs of dowel were doused with superglue to hold them into position, also a bead...

I don't think I'll go that far with detailing the tyres, but some good tips there. I think the latest price point I could find was around £600,000-$800,000 that is out of my meagre price range. Perhaps a paper satnav..? Kind words as a;ways

SLOW progress...Its a tough bugger this one!

Interior waiting in the wings, its time to tackle something else on the Stratos. Wheels can make or break a paper car model in my opinion, and on this model they a multi-part assembly. Normally I would have a dry run with a spare, but luck is not on my side with this one, so if I make a...

Very impressive... even if you just add tiny squares here and there, they would catch the light and add extra depth, such as the larger parts do. The end result is for you to decide, if you're happy then leave it alone and move onto another build sharing the results with all of us

I've downloaded them and will give them a go one day...

An interesting model, never played any of the Zelda games, so this subject matter is new to me. Anyway, your journey on-board this model is a good one

A great result, a very colourful, stubby Tie Fighter... another one to add to the 'to-do' pile if you release it.

Simple and effective construction, can't wait to see how the diorama turns out.

Cheers, I can be a bit too critical of other peoples work sometimes, but if its not said or pointed out then others will run into the same problem. Just a tad frustrating when a part so simple is not corrected Appreciated...as always Thank you for your interesting and nice comment. You say...

Continuing on with the Lancia's interior... A nice easy start - adding the gear stick The circle, square base and the stick itself were layed up to add some thickness to the parts. Handbrake also added into position. Left & right side panels added - Gearstick looks a bit wonky, will sort...

Thank you humbly Better fit, more defined details...and remembering to get all the parts printed! "doh!" Self critique is a modellers worst enemy, should be happy with the finished (nearly) project and move on to the next. Thank you for your kind comment Its a fun little vehicle...I may do...

You and me both ;) I can imagine it being quite eye catching Left or right eye? :) Indeed...
