consul Capri Project

(Please visit the site to view this media)

Hi i thought i would post this as the first actual post i have added here.

My 1:1 car is a Ford Consul Capri, a car that has to the best of my knowledge never been made as a model kit.

There was an example made by fairy-lite as a toy back in the 60's, but these are very rare and cost far too much money for what they are.

So i have for years thought of making one from scratch adn about 4 years ago got as far as cutting out one blank side from a sheet of plastic.

Since that time i have done very little model making, as i have been re-building the real thing; which has taken far too long.

But this Friday i got home from a really stressful week at work and for the first time in years sat down to mess with the plastic.

It wasnt trully spur of the moment as the previous week i had been sorting out cupboards and come across the blank for the Consul Capri; still around after all that time.

So i am typing this at 10pm on the Sunday and have completed two sides, attached is a picture with my car in the background.

have a look and let me know what you think.(Please visit the site to view this media)
