Hahaha I definitely will. Will try for a certificate from classic team lotus hahaha.

Small update tonight...

 

I've been faffing around with the smallest harnesses in the world.

 

Apart from those just a few small bits on the nose and the fuel pump tonight.....

Going to have a night off tomorrow I think... Kerri might need a night out after watching me all week on this

You look to be making a real nice job of that Kieran, have you built many kits before?

Thanks Phil,

 

No never done one so I'm just taking my time. Kerri has said she will have to buy me another as I've got lots of paint and it keeps me out of the garage.

Nice job so far Kieran. Looks very fiddly indeed but will be the business when it's finished. I assume you're scouring the model makers classifieds for some colour coded valve caps for it

 

Dean - a Lotus model would make a great LitP prize every year, with the recipient having to build it and display it the following year!

Good idea Dave, just so you know it's my dreaded annual task.

 

I spoke with Jody earlier, he's in touch with CTL and he's gonna tell 'em about the 'build thread'!

Sure will Dean. Half way through now.

 

Mini polishing kits hahaha dreading painting it, I'll never live it down if there's a run in it.
