Well I decided it was time give those of you who are interested a sneak peak at my colour scheme/ painted shell.
Only a sneak though... the front lights are coming together, I lined the inside of each pod with reflective tape, couldn't get it smooth though. By the time the lenses are on (next job ) you'll never know.
As many of you have been asking, I've eventually found a place to get all the parts needed for my 315 front tyres and wheels at a reasonable price. So if you'd like a pair for the front of your SRB let let me know
Next job after the lights, finish the cockpit (which means painting faces aaaaaahhhh!! (anyone really good at it and love doing them????).
Just so you know there is another colour on the body, quite a lot of it, but you'll have to wait to see it... its not ready to show off yet...
Any and all comments welcome.

Phew... That´s really coming together very nicely, Steve. You sure are a mean B......
I like painted faces, and I guess they're okay, but I'm not sure iff I could handle the pressure to even come close to you're level of perfection. Plus you know where I live, right?
j-man

Looking awesome

Moostar
This is looking soooo cool:b Please hurry & finish it! Having said that this is not something you want to rush really
SRB Bloke
Wow, I've just got in from work to see all these comments.... Thank you, really really appreciate it...
to answer some of the questions.. @pagedm f350- tyre paint is Tamiya polycarbonate paint, 3 layers.. @stevepi- lights are made from plumbing pipe, one slid inside the other to form the lip needed to sit the lenses on... And guys I'd love to have this finished ASAP but its difficult to find the spare time.. But keep your eyes peeled.
spudtrooper37
Neat and Tidy, not OTT just right, having the balls to try and do something different and pull it off, well done
bad andy
Looking really good, excited to see the finish! I second HCP22, check out the Alclad stuff, it's really good. I too would be interested in some tires, brilliant work there. Please keep us informed
Hondabiker
Awsome! The work on the nose is simply stunning, this is one cool looking bug.
JWeston
Looks awesome!
ShayD
Inspiring! ... the headlight cluster intergrates beautifully ... 10/10 ... maybe use some coil overs to hike up the detail density?
SRB Bloke
Thanks again guys for all the comments.. and request for tyres.. @ShayD- I've had 3 different sets of coil overs on this already... just not happy with how they sit...
karooha MB
Beautifull work. I'll take a set or two of the tyres, and will offer my assistance with the painting if still needed.

SRB Bloke
I couldn't possibly swap without seeing some pics
Bruce I still haven't found a set I really like yet, (coil overs that is). When they are too fat they look wrong..

I thought I'd said this before but amazing work on this build, I've been following it from the start, always good to see a bit more. The 315s look even better in real life, real a top quality product. Thanks for going the extra mile for me.
skywhelp
in case i sound even more mad than i normally do
i didn't bring a rc with me this time or would have been in touch, would have loved to test them out though on the beach though think they will be better than the brat ones i've got on a little to wide, should get to test the 315 in september though try to get some shots up then. shoulda pm'ed doh so don't add this if you don't want i'll understand
just joking
