You are stalking me, Claude

Thank you, but i have found the Lombard-numberplates already and have them on my computer soon to be printed out as i am waiting for the sheets for making the decals to arrive. But i will be in touch if i run into any problems!

Anthoop: i think it will be even harder for me to paint those stripes, i really don't fancy painting stripes and i am not into airbrush-stuff. So i am stucked with decals

prestonlal

Wowsa! That 1/5 scale looks great!
Just started to wok on my 1/10 scale recently as well!
Colors are not the correct shades, but I just used what I had laying around.
Oh an the body was painted previously so this new paint is on the outside!

Lars from Norway

Very nice! I think i have to make a Rothmans too sometime, it is very cool. Nice to see some of you guys over the pond likes these small european cars too, and not only "your" cars

prestonlal

Hey thanks! I actually had one of these as first car before I moved to the US! But it was the 4door sedan, a 1978 model I believe!
So I got a real soft spot for them....also got a weakness for the mark 3 Capri...! Ha

Lars from Norway

Where did you live before moving to US? Some years ago i had a Escort RS2000, not original though. So the same soft spot here for them! I have also a thread here about a 1/5 scale Capri mk 1

I lived in Trinidad (an island in the Caribbean ) which was an English colony.

Lars from Norway

Ok, so you are kind of close related to the english Escorts then

prestonlal

Yep! The cars back home are all right hand drive!

Lars from Norway

Or as i would call it, wrong hand drive

prestonlal

Haha! Nice!

I have started to install and make lights for the body now. The headlights are reflectors from torchlights glued to the body. The extralights are heavily modified lighthouses from Baja, installed with reflectors and a 10 mm LED in each of them. I really like how they turned out

Dirty_Vinylpusher

Lars from Norway

Some more work done! I have tucked the front spoiler under the body instead of having it on the outside, looks much cleaner now. I've done the same at the rear of the car. I have also made door "mirrors", of course made from Ikea bread chopping board.

Did a little mock up of the front just to see how it looks, and i like what i see

Mudgy

Looks real good mate[8D]
I saw a Mk 1 Escort today, in very good condition, reminded me to check on Lars!

Lars from Norway

Thank you!

That must have been a nice reminder, i would love to see more of them too but it is not the time for them this time of year. Most of them are in their hibernation now
