Well i finished my model of the Porsche Cooper R3, not easy but good fun.
I had a go at pinstriping on a pane of glass and seemed reasonably easy as your fingers steady your hand as you paint. It helps when its a nice smooth surface.
So why did i go to these lenghts to paint a little model with bumps on .... anyway the end result is not perfect but its not bad.
To be honest, back in the day some of these cars did not have perfect paint jobs anyway.
The 1 shot tin had warning signs all over it so i thought i,d better pinstripe in the garden and not my usual place of model making (kitchen).
Even outside and with a pot of thinners for my brush to dip into i felt a bit light headed, not recommended.
What do you guys think of my model?
Paul
