Hello everyone, after few finished kits and a big break of almost 2 years, I decided to revive my hobby so I started the Tamiya Lotus,a beautiful car. I will build it mostly ou of the box, even without changing decals, but some thing i'll try to improve a bit. Also maybe interesting for most of you here, I print EVERYTHING with spray cans, justdon't have the space and money now for a good airbrush+compressor,and I still don't know if I'm going to build more and invest in the hobby. Hope you like the beginning. Tyres are left in the chrome, just the gold is painted, goodyear tire marker is painted with PE masking template. Seat and seatbelts are ready to jump in the monocoque. The engine is almost complete, some wiring maybe to do, and the metal monocoque is coming along well, painted it with gloss black and then chrome silver over. Unfortunately I'm unable to upload more photos,it allows me just this,probably a error at photobucket.

Looking forward to seeing your progress. An air brush is nice but I myself use paint cans (mainly in the winter) Tamiya spray paints are great if you lay them on light coats first and heavy coat last. Good luck!

Here better photos. For the red wire a had some old PC wires and found some adequate there. Black paint that I had for the main parts is very bad so I'll have to wait for the Tamiya spray cans to arrive, work is now on hold, I will just prepare and maybe prime the main parts. Hope You all like the parts that are made until today, the engine and gearbox.
