Thanks for the comments guys, this model is sortof on hold while i concentrate on the Daring but i still find some time to spend on it every now and then.
Progress has slowed because I somewhat botched the build order and have built myself into a corner when it comes to getting the wheels on...(actually, it's more to do with the wheel arches) I'm also less than happy with my original attempt at the wheels so I intend to build them again as soon as I find out where my girlfriend has filed my reprint
The model is starting to show signs of age from sitting around on the table but I'm not too concerned as I intend to paint it now, as it has also faded a bit from a combination of sunlight, cheap ink, and me forgetting to spray it with some UV protection or at least put it away properly when not working on it
It's also become prone to attack from wandering beasts due to the lack of wheels...
Not to mention a suspicious incident involving the Interceptor and a scale cube... 9 days later this appeared...
Both those pics are taken from the side with wheel arches and tubs intact, because I used thicker card, I had to trim these to fit, and I've also attatched the underside of the car, before the tubs, which isn't helping much but seemed the easier way to go at the time... it definitely wasn't.
