Lighting tests

Back log of images. Here is a lighting test i did with the l.e.d rear lights. i designed a simple parallel circuit which would provide the same current to each l.e.d powered by a 12v battery. i included a switch on the circuit which will be mounted underneath the car to save the battery for shows and portfolio photography but the battery can also be easily changed

Completed recaro seats with buckles

After all the faf i had with trying to 3d print the seats i decided it best to quickly sculpt them and then mould and cast in a similar mixed compound of gunfoam and PU fast cast resin.i added the seatbelts later as a little finishing touch but the view of these will be minimal with the tinted windscreen and side windows.

Getting ready for and painting

A lot of filling and sanding later i managed to get the car body to a nice finish using layers of primer to spot rough patches as i sanded back the layers, including filler primer and elbow grease. i prep'ed the car with grey primer as suggested by Abacus (who mixed the Lotus Krypton Green for me). panel wipe and raggs removed all the dust before finally spraying with the devilbiss which i set to give me a medium fan and paint amount and a pressure of around 28-30 psi. I found this to be the best pressure for the paint i was using and the gun and nozzle combination of various sites and youtube tutorials.
