I notice most important features are missing 2101!!!, you should be ashamed!!!-the Optio Sticker and fuel sticker!!!!!!!

In all seriousness its a very good attempt.

Can't have an Optio sticker! It's on the 97 before it had a sticker. Must put a slodge of yellow under the fuel cap lol

Cheers

Thanks woah, done a B7RLE and an ALX400 too but I put them in seperate threads in modellers section, perhaps should have put all 3 in same thread!

Very cool 2101 how long did it take you to do that? I imagine it probably is tricky to make.

A few hours but it's waiting for paint to dry etc which takes the time. How I do them:
1. Dismantle the models right to the metal shell and remove all the plastic components.
2. Use Nitromors to strip the shell to bare metal.
3. Glue the plastic components back on (bumpers etc).
4. Spray with a white primer.
5. Put a coat of First Silver/grey on.
6. Put another coat of grey on.
7. Paint the skirt pink, masking the top edge.
8. Paint the bottom of the skirt blue, masking the top edge.
9. Paint the pink stripe under the upper deck windows, masking the bottom edge.
10. Paint the blue stripe under the upper deck windows, masking the bottom edge.
11. Apply the willow leaf and then paint a grey line behind it.
12. Put the model back together, use a little glue if required. And do any touching up.
13. Apply the rest of the transfers.
