a bit more progress on engine

Engine

I have not been doing much modeling. Here is a picture of the current state of the engine assembly.

Decaling continues

I actually find decaling one of the most enjoyable parts of scale car modeling.

Masking and painting usually takes up a majority of the time I spend in building up a model car.

Table Tennis

I have been playing competitive table tennis for many years. I participated in the California State Games and won a Silver medal in the O30 event.

roll cage

I temporarily put the interior and roll cage together to see where I'll be fixing the seat belts. The roll cage does not have the usual horizontal bar behind the seats in modern day WRC cars to roll the seat belts around with a buckle.

Decaling

Decals bring race cars to life with their colorful livery. I usually slow down my pace a lot when it comes to decaling, resulting in multiple sessions of decaling. This is because there is no room for errors and a single shot deal in decaling. I use heated up cotton swabs to facilitate decaling. I do use decal set solution, but I try to avoid using decal soft solution as much as possible because it has a high risk of ruining the decals due to its strong softening characteristic. When I do use decal soft solution, I use it sparingly at the difficult places as a last resort.
