Check out this site and email the fellow. Maybe he'll share his plans. Never hurts to ask.

Blimey! It's even smaller than a Mini!

Nerf bars and all the other shiny bits could be made out of fine brass rod (= easier soldering).

The tiny can motor out of a Carrera go might fit.

Time to tap into the expertise of the 1/43 boys.

Dave,

Make sure you resize the image to print. The forum scales them down.

Beats me Dave. I did the same thing. The printer spit out about 5 blank sheets and an oversized image. Even when I print from my FTP site, it's wrong. The body should be 3 11/16" long. When I print it out directly from photoshop, it's right. If you give me your email address, I'll send you the jpg and see if that works.

Looks great.

Soon be time to seal and sand . . .

What will you use? I used cellulose-based sealer for the Morgan (yes, it's still a work in progress - just got distracted for a while with Autograss Minis!).

The stuff I used first was simply called Sanding Sealer.You had to use cellulose thinner to clean the brush. It dried very quickly to a hard clear surface which was easy to sand.Once it was the right shape( and I guess in the case of the Midget, when the panel lines are scribed), I did a couple of coats of automotive filling primer with sanding between;the a couple of coats of regular primer, with more sanding. I suppose some of this might have been beginners overkill, but it did result in a smooth finish with no sign of woodgrain showing through.

One thing, though; if you don't make sure the ventilation is good, you can feel the solvents dissolving your brain!

I'm not sure that you can get cellulose paint here any more, but I guess no-one much cares about the brains of aero-modellers.

David. It's just occurred to me; why not ask woodguy32 what he uses as a sanding sealer. Working with wood is his stock in trade, and he's been showing pictures of carved masters on here for years?
