Building the 1963 Morris Mini Cooper

The lengthy build process of my 1/24 scale Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper Racing model, finished in Downton team colours. It might have been a small kit when finished - but there were a lot of parts!

hi, new to this, brought myself a tamiya morris mini cooper rally, 4 days in im nearly finished but wow STRESSFULL lol, once finished im hopeing to add a mud splat effect along the bottom/wheels any ideas for this? looks awesome alot better than mine, but i was eager to get this beast finished

I havent tried it myself, but flicking water soluable acrylic paint (used for artists paints - mixed to brown or clay colour of course!) at certain parts of the model could do the trick...

at 0:36 , what is the car & parts sitting on?

[joh2]

Ah, thats my trusty paint stand, which is actually part of a discarded refrigerator that I found years ago at the (now closed) local car dump!

im starting to make models whats the point of putting green down before yellow

[joh2]

Green is the bare plastic, white is primer and yellow is actual paint - you will notice in a few of my builds where I have changed my mind about the colour halfway through!
