Track update
Bought some emulsion paint test post and painted the layout with grey, brown and green paints. I used Dulux test pots as these have a built in roller and it made the job a bit easier.

Car updates
Painted the Vanwall rear suspension chrome, mirrors green and the wheels silver. Also airbrushed some chrome parts for the Tamiya Honda model.
The rear Vanwall rear suspension came out very nice but not so happy with the mirrors and wheels, this may have been something to do with the acetone used to remove the unwanted chrome plate.

Car updates
Primed the Vanwall rear suspension, wheels and mirrors but it was to hot in the shed to do any thing else.

General News
This should have been a car update as I had intended to give the MRRC Lotus Cortina and the Vanwall their clearcoats today and at the same time try out the Zero Paints 2k Diamond Clearcoat which I bought a little while ago. However it turned out that my airbrush needed a full strip down clean and while doing this I managed to loose a bit the the floor monster, so no painting today.

Car updates
Changed the rear axle for a MRRC rear axle that already has the crown gear fitted as I would hope these are the correct crown gears for the motor offset. I have also had to slightly shorten the front mounting post as the car was sitting slightly high. It still doesn't look quite right but any shorter and the front wheels will be to far inside the wheel arch. I have also done some final trimming to the interior plate so that it fits around the mounting posts and iit just needs painting now and a drivers head.

Car updates
Printed a set of my adjustable body mounting posts and after trimming to just under length I have epoxy glued them in place. Once the glue was set I then fitted the adjustable caps and screwed the chassis in to get the correct length and after fixing in place with super glue I then after removing the chassis set them with more epoxy glue. Have already trimmed the rear of the chassis I found that this had not been necessary as I had to trim the rear body valance anyway to clear the mounting post caps.
