Ronnie very kindly allowed me a morning off today. Must say I feel better for it, working solidly on the house all the time does make one a dull boy!

I've only ever seen these cars as solid lumps of wood and they look so different with the windows cut out, almost like slot car bodies!!
   
There is obviously more to this slush casting business than meets the eye. Whilst I'm pleased with the bodies, it's obvious that getting an even layer of resin is the trick. On the Bristol especially, there were really thick parts that needed a huge amount of grinding/scraping in order to be able to cut the windows out. As it is, the Dremel - the third, never again - is stuck on slow speed and hardly cuts so it's been scraper and scalpel. As it is, it will be necessary to do some lightening in places but that was expected.

Must look out for an alternative to the Dremel though, completely lost faith in the things, the speed control always goes pop.
