Ferrari F10 Part 2

The area around the engine was covered in gold foil from a cigarette pack and the engine has been cleaned after the resin copy was made and painted.
I'm going to make the car in "raced" conditions with grime and built up rubber on the car.
I was testing how to do this and found that leaving acrylic paint out to dry for about 45 minutes makes it thick and sticky just before it completely dries and can be flicked onto the car to make it look like rubber build up.
You can see some of it  on the drivers left that i tested with.

Sauber C30 Part 3

Small update
The resin needed cleaned and filled in with putty a second time before the shape was reworked again.
I'm going to use the Top Studio electronic connectors on the underside of the radiators and display the model with the floorboard off like the car is being prepared for the race weekend.
The nose will also be off the car so research has started on that as well.
