Puttied the side skirts to blend the rocket bunny skirt and fenders with the INGS+ skirt. a bit of putty here and there to make it all look like it's meant to be there.
Will sand and smooth it all when dry
Mrs bodgy got me some primer today so i hope to have it in primer by the weekend if not colour... but colour(s) are still undecided.
Been working on some ghost effects... gunna be intersting if i can pull them off.

Done well on the door lines that would have been challenging, especially with the even surface and the radius's. thumbsup

I sanded the putty this morning, then primed it to see how much more I need to add, fill, sand... and something bad happened.
I looked at it in primer and i'm not as happy with it as i was pre primer question

I've spent a little time looking at it, trying to re invision how it could look in various colours and I just can't see it today.

I think I will put it aside for a few days until i clear a few other issues from my head and then re look at it, maybe I'll see what i saw before and be able to continue.

I was talking with KC about doing a candy apple red with gold foil (since I can print that now) graphics... not sure I can ghost anything under red yet but I'll do some test pieces before i put anything on the body. I was really keen on candy apple red and gold yesterday... this morning, I am thinking those 2 colours clash. such a big mood swing...
time to focus on other issues and clear them up before it affects the model without me realising.

so here's the body in primer, still things to smooth out etc but just for a consistent colour view.

Blend the front fender down into the bumper like the V2 kit and delete/smooth that notch at the rear of the side skirt.

Have you been looking at Hert's RX7 (the beard life and hoonigan car)???? Candy red with gold dragon up the side I believe and look great!!!!
