MUCKY MERCEDES

Well the Merc is finished apart from adding the windshield and trimming the rear axles. I made the driver by taking the Autoart head and sculpting the rest out of acrylic mastic putty, which I'm quite fond of at the moment, it seems like handy stuff to have around. The original diecast came with sticker-type numbers so I went and made a new set of decals for it and they turned out quite well, as did the Mercedes emblem above the radiator.
I have yet to try it on the track, but if it's anything like the other two diecasts I've done, it won't be extremely fast, but will have that feeling of weight and inertia that makes it interesting to drive.
Right then, now I'll start back on the Monaco, and the D-Type.
