Didn't even see this coming for Christmas. One of those rare moments when my ex gets it right!

I agree with you GeebeeNZ ,but just to be sure I brought my own and put it under the tree
I have just had a quick flick through before I start kitchen duties ,It looks like a great book Steve. Graham

Happiness is when your family listens to your Christmas present suggestions and buys you a book like Petrolheads in Sheds. Thanks Steve for a great reminder of the interesting variety of cars that are hiding away in this little country.
Merry Christmas to you all

Hi Bruce Yes it is the "Superleggera" badge on the bonnet. Markson

That looks very impressive, nice work. One of my favorite cars since seeing James Bond movies.
Is that a "Superleggera" batch on the bonnet ?

[quote="markson"]Hi Bruce The model 1:8 scale, 2 ft long and its weight is about 9 KGS Markson[/quote]

I have done hood linings on the real thing.Generally hood linings that glue to roofs require upside down work. I have many real things in my workshop, but no Astons.

John MC. Do you have the real thing??? Markson

Hi Bruce The model 1:8 scale, 2 ft long and its weight is about 9 KGS Markson

You are so lucky you can turn the car over to fit the hood lining, I could be so lucky!!!

I'd like to see hand stitched leather (full grain) in 1:43 scale. Who's up for the challenge ?


[quote="markson"]Hi John People around the world have undertaken some amazing modes to this model, building them up to an amazing standard,as a model there are some things that are just not correct, like the seat that are just a black plastic molding, so some people, including myself have covered the seats in leather, and things like the dash top and door panels,fitted carpet and hood lining [ATTACH=CONFIG]14666[/ATTACH]

Here is a photo of what I am doing with my seats at the present Regards Markson[/quote]

As a motor trimmer of 38 years, I would love to see the work done on the inside-detail of seats, door panels etc-any chance of a close up please?

Hi Darren I wouldn't be jealous!!!You can only do justice to one thing at a time,some people do funny things in search of acceptance,[attachment=0]model db5 2.jpg[/attachment]
