Lotus 7 Sleeper...

Hi all,

I have been working on this for a while now, I've done her as a sleeper, she is also my very first weathered non shiny and fully wired model too...



















I was going to use the full windscreen, but changed to the twin ones so didn't need the wipers...



I made my own roll bars...



I made some small throttle return springs out of some thin wire...: -







I used the kitchen roll on the seats...: -



Then painted them brown and used a black wash on them...: -



Thank you for looking, please could you let me know any and all bad points you see and where I can improve...

Andy...

nice one

its a lovely kit, ive built it 3 times over the years and enjoyed it everytime....plan on bashing a v8 into one one day

That's way cool, Andy !!!

Gotta love a hopped up beater!
Engine compartment looks great!!

That is definitely a sleeper.

Nice amount of detail, great stuff all round.

Hey Andy, very nice particularly for a first try at weathering. Also you did an excellent job of plumbing the engine.

Very nice.

Very nice!  Doing the brake lines too is going beyond the limit!

Awesome details.

Nice beaten up Loti Andy. Nice detailing too.

Way cool, well done. Love those tires.

Many thanks everyone...

Andy...

Nice one. Very, used.

well that turned out nice ... knew you'd have fun with it mate !!!

Thank you both...

It was fun Colin and thanks to you for the extra bits that made it even more fun to do...

Andy...

Great work Andy, very striking model.

Sleeper indeed. It looks like the seats don't have much give. Get ready for a bumpy ride!
