some progress:
a few attempts at the mesh screen (kit part is in there too):
wheels are done:
added some masking tape to the seat to give it some life, painted with semi gloss for a leather look:
added some details before painting:
never heard back from hiroboy so decided to mix my own paint. took zero's aston martin green and added a little black to it. looks pretty close to me. (kind of hard to photograph):
more next week...

yeah, their service as far as delivery goes is second to none, but i guess it comes at the cost of answering emails.

Really beautiful work you do there!
