Buttoned up that hood issue and added some of the bits that make her cool.
The front bumper used to be chrome but in my old ham fisted way, I used too much glue to hold it on and it attacked the bumper at the attachment points and warped in a few divits. So to remedy this, I had to do something I NEVER do. Filled the divits and gasp...painted the bumpers body color.

Also added my signature heater hoses. This is the easiest and most effective addition I've ever done to a kit.
Looking back, maybe I could have wired the motor...

Until next time...

Heh heh heh... When I use CA, I tend to fuse my fingers together. Nail polish remover is the only cure to free them apart.
Also used to soak the tiny CA tip attachments so they don't clog.

Really enjoying the chrome pen. The above items were painted with it. Not quite chrome but way more shiny than silver. More like aluminum.
I got the pen from Wally World. It's called DecoColor Premium and I found it in the arts and crafts aisle.
