The Jaguar has a new dress
Finally, I restarted to work on the Jaguar E-type: I painted the internal parts and the body! I colored the internal chassis with a wonderful opaque black and the engine with a shine metal paint. However, the interior is not finished because I need to add more details to the stearing wheel, to the seats and to the dashboard. Moreover, I painted the body with a great gloss black: with this paint, the car is very very elegant, sporty and shiny!! Also on the body, I need to add some details, especially the chrome profiles. This evening I will continue to work on it, so tomorrow I will post some new updates!!

Diabolik will be happy!
Good news today! Finally I completed the interior: I painted the seats with the same tan color used for the Traveller and the dashboard with a opaque black. The combination (also with the stearing wheel) is perfect! I created other details for the interior: I painted the stearing wheel with a silver pen and then I added new instruments created with my PC; today, I will print another decal with the tachometer and the speedometer and this evening I will stick it on the dashboard. Besides, I created on the body (with the usual silver pen) the chomed profiles. At the end, I only tested every parts to see how the car will looks like, and I think that the result is very good!! I believe that this evening Diabolik will be very happy for his new car

Jaguar completed!!
Finally the Diabolik's Jaguar is completed!! I finished to assemble all the model and now looks great with this new colouring. To increase the details level, I added some decals to the dashboard (now it's more realistic respect the originals used by BBurago). I need only to add the handbrake but I will do it in the next days (I'm doubtful, because I don't know if paint it with black paint or brown paint). However, looks all the pictures of my last creation!

My R/C "General Lee"
Hi guys! Today, I want to show you my R/C "General Lee": it was produced by Hitari, it has "Dixie" horn and "Yeeeee Haaaaa" sound effects and it's very fast!! The original model has only a flaw: there wasn't the front and rear license plates. So, with my usual PC, I created a rebel flag for the front and the famous "CNH 320" for the rear. Now, looks very good!! In the next days, I will prepare some videos about this General in action

Now it's the turn for the Viper and the new Dodge Charger!
When I finished the Diabolik's Jaguar, I started a new project: unfortunately, it's not the Traveller #2 (I'm waiting some detailed pictures from Erik to create a perfect replica of his car), but the Dodge Viper used in the TV series "Viper". To replicate it, I used an old black Viper I bought for few euros 2 weeks ago, and after a good paint remover, I started to paint it with red paint. At now, I painted only the hood, the trunk, the rollbar and the 2 doors; moreover, I prepared with the PC a correct license plate. In the next days, I will finish to paint the rest of the body, and then I will prepare some accurate decals for the interior to reproduce the technological instruments located in the dashboard.
Moreover, this morning I saw these awesome pictures posted by Bugsy and Motorhead on CGLFC message board. On these pictures, there is the new Dodge Charger produced by RC2/Joy Ride/ERTL (the maquette, certainly) and I can only say that this time the model is perfect (correct rims, trunk that can be opened, accurate engines, etc.) There is also a pre-release General Lee with test color, without tampos... I can't wait!!! I want this General!!!

The Viper in Red
Before the break on the weekend, I finished to paint all the Viper's body. The result is perfect and the paint is bright and without imperfections: the Viper will be reassembled monday evening, also with all the decals on the dashboard. So, finally, I will start to work on the Traveller owned by Erik Dimitriou.

The Viper starts the engine!
New week, new updates! This morning I want to show you the progress on the Viper. It's almost finished, but I need to add some little details to complete perfectly the model. I assembled all the body parts and then I added the decals for the dashboard, so the interior is very similar to the original car used for the TV series. I think this evening I complete this model and then I will start the Erik's Charger.

Erik's Traveller: the beginning
Finally, yesterday I started to work on the Traveller model based on the car owned by Erik Dimitriou and used in "Collier & Co." movie. First of all, using the pictures furnished by Erik, I created a new license plate, so now it's identical to the last one installed his owner. Moreover, I started to remove the paint from the body, starting from the hood and the doors. This evening I think that I'll continue on the rest of the body, and in the next days, I will start to paint it with the correct colours.

First color on the Traveller
Yesterday, I went to Gavirate (VA) in my preferred paintshop and I found all the correct colors to paint the Erik's Traveller. On to the road to home, I was very anxious to try my new paints, so just arrived in my house I immediately tryed to paint all the parts unpainted. The result is good: the light grey is perfect and it looks like the color on the pictures sent me by Erik. This evening, I will continue to work on the body and in the next days I will show you the progress. Have a nice weekend!!!

A new partial skin for the Traveller
Finally, today I resumed the Traveller: I removed all the old paint from the body and then I painted the front with the same color (light grey) used for the hood and the doors. Then, changing the mask, I painted the passenger side with a redish color: I'm very excited for the result obtained, but unfortunately today it's a rainy day and to show you my progress, I shot some pictures indoor, so the light is not perfect. I hope tomorrow will be a better day, perhaps a sunny day, so I will shoot new pictures with the right light.

Another color for the Traveller
Yesterday, I painted the body with the dark grey: to do this, first of all I prepared a mask to cover the parts just painted, and then I sprayed the new color on the visibile parts. After some hours, the paint was air-dried, so I removed all the mask and I shot some pictures with all the parts assembled. However, if you notice, there is a little difference between the light grey used on the front and the light grey used on the hood and the doors. I don't know the reasons, but I don't like this imperfection, so today I will repaint another time the hood and the doors and I hope this time the paint effect will be the same for every piece. Moreover, I will paint with the same color also the trunk and tomorrow, perhaps, I will paint the roof with a semi gloss black.

The Traveller goes in Holiday!!
As promised, I resolved the problem about the differences on the light grey parts: now every pieces have the same shade!! Moreover, I painted also the trunk with the same light grey and then I assembled all the parts with also the front lights and the rear lights. I think that until the 4th Septmber I will stop to work on the Traveller because tomorrow I will leave for my due holiday. However, in this period I will think how to create the roof, because I want try to create the vinil roof with a particular tapes... See you in September!!!
