I've managed to find time to prep and paint the GC car, as the Prime Grey material is a resin, preparation is vey easy, fronts needed a bit of filling and sanding but very little in comparison with either frosted detail or WSF.

Sides needed priming and a brush over with a fibreglass pencil, then BR totem plates added from 10 thou plasticard, and yess they did bend them over the beading on the real thing, looking pretty rough. Totems and nos by Fox. Inside is sprayed a mid brown, glazing to be added. Headlights from brass tube and filler, lens still to be applied

Chassis is well under way using a rigid Halling E mech, which features two flywheel fitted motors each driving a truck by uj..

Overall, I'm happy with it, I'll be building at least another three, anyone want a G and I layout for their exhibition, 2012/3 on!!?

I've also received the first of the Gatesheads in PG, again, I prefer it to Shapeways materials, I had a Gateshead in FD and it's nowhere near as good as the PG one, the Frosted detail one is now destined to become the works car with double sliding doors.
