Back again after a rather short trip offshore. I've finished the spoiler now and have just attached it to the body. I have used some dark wash to get into the panel lines of the body work and bring out some of the smaller details, hopefully to make it look like it's already done a couple of laps. I had contemplated giving it a light airbrushing off dust and dirt taken back in the direction of airflow over the car, make it look like it had been running all night through a few patches of rain. I decided in the end though to keep it relatively clean, it would probably be easy to over do it.
The yellow mirrors of the #63 car are on also. The yellow also corresponds with the yellow square round the back right tail light on this car. In 1989 the #61 car had red mirrors and rear, and the #62 car had white.
I made the ariels on the car from guitar string, cut and sprayed black. Although I do actually play the guitar but I wanted a specific gauge of string so I bought a single string from a local music shop rather than a 6 string set. I explained what I was doing with it, and it's actually not the strangest request they get. A local cheese company apparently pre orders every year around 50 specific gauged strings to cut the cheeses with!
I think I'm just about on the home straight with this one now. I'll hopefully have it finished by tomorrow evening as I only have the lights to do now. I will post all further updates and post a sneak preview here before moving the final article to the headlines.
