Mate, I gotta tell you that when I saw the Viper cladded with those foam sheets I was in awe of your dedication and workmanship already!
But seeing the work you've put into finishing it to a smooth and clean/sharp finish is surely the most rewarding pics of this whole project; the decals, the paint and the details look real and equal to the original studio one

Thanks so much guys!

All the touch-ups and polish now.

Upgrading the cockpit.

Way back when I first built this cockpit, I was in a bit of a hurry and on a budget. I got the original colours from the show identified, but that did not translate with my budget mix of paints and…

Wow mate...I thought this was already perfect, but you're going all out with the wear & tear

So beautiful.

Only one seat! I'll have to sit on your lap... let's go!

I have made a decision, that I will NOT be posting WIP photos of the Viper trailer build.

I have already had too many keyboard warriors and, "experts" mouthing off. I have good help and guidance from people in the industry, so I'm fine.

This means the Viper group is going to be pretty quiet for some time and honestly, I need the break.
I might even be able to head out bush a bit more.

Rest assured that as the money comes in over the next few months, I will be cutting, drilling, bending and welding like a crazy man at every opportunity.

Happy new year and may 2024 fill your buckets.

Baz out.
