Wo Hey! Just look at this.

Terrific model Patrick....A simple build, yet bursting with action.

I remember a long while back you posting about not having the confidence to tackle dioramas....I see with this and your other recent bases, that statement is right out of the window!

Top marks.

That's really great Patrick, love the suspension drop on the fronts, was that tricky to do?

Cheers, Neil

Nice model Patrick.

Any chance of some more pictures to show the detail. Just like to see what you have been up to.

Also how you went about the paint scheme especially the effects.

Many thanks Neil! The suspension mods were quite easy - for the dropped fronts I drilled out holes in the top of the spring assembly & added bits of sprue, just like the real thing ;)

Thank you Laurie! Unfortunately I've given the model to a friend who's both a rally nut & a Focus owner! So more pictures would be hard to get - I didn't expect this level of interest in truth so I didn't take as many as usual.

The paint effects were all done with my

AB, using Tamiya acrylics. All I did was

hit it with progressively lighter shades until I reached the end & used Buff XF-57 all over (my colour of choice for dust)
