Progress report on the Lotus

Progress report on the Lotus.  The monocoque chassis has been assembled and the front suspension and most of the rear suspension has been as well.  I finally got the paint mix right too, the internet came through once again.  I found a formula for British racing green; R1  G60 B30 so I put 1 drop of red, 10 drops of blue and 20 drops of green in my airbrush and it went on perfectly.  I am still having trouble getting a smooth finish out of my air brush but I'll keep practicing.  The beauty of this model is it is very simple so it leaves lots of opportunities for modification.  So far I have wrapped Kleenex around the radiator return pipe and painted it red for insulation; ran wires for front brake lines and gauge faces and added a reservoir bottle that wasn't included in the model.  The chassis has been set aside for now and I will focus on building and detailing the engine.  I have also discovered a wonderful resource at http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/ it has tons of pictures of lots of different cars.  I looked up some of the most obscure cars I have ever built and found them there.  It has been an invaluable resource on this project and I have bookmarked it for future use.
