Im not amused! But it should be fixed now. See those headlights? Those are the ones I meant for your scratched lamp maybe.

Sooooo. the story continues. With the help of a friend I was able to get some 1/24 racing belt buckles from ScaleProduction. Theres three possibilities to recreate the belts: [1] some kind of plaster (weak adhesion) [2] Tamiya tape - I used it here, cause these are the first custom made belts for me. [3] cigarette paper. Even better regarding the 1/24 belt structure, but not adhesive of course. Didnt want to mess the belts up. First of all - those are the buckles itself, with their little instructions. Should be easy. But it was a bit tricky in fact, especially the middle parts of them. Very filigrane stuff that! I wanted to recreate a H-belt with front straps. Those arent neccessary, but why not - I got the parts for them. The belt itself consists of 19 parts: -6 x Tamiya tape (2x front, 2x side, 2x back) -2x fixing points at the end of the car -2x4 buckles -3 parts for the front belt connection and the closing mechanism (this is a sandwich of 3 parts) Here come the front belts: ...the shoulder belts and thats the whole thing: SCHA-WEEEET!

The coolest thing is: The buckles are quite cheap - 2,50€ only. Plus a tiny amount of Tamiya tape and black color. Piece of cake.

Well well... After surviving the belts, it got even worse. MAN! Those decals for the roof were the thinnest Ive ever seen. They tended to roll over every time you even looked at them. The first try went completely wrong. But the sheet was big enough and I cut several stripes for the roof. Worked out fine.
After that, some detail work was done too (turn signals and mirrors, some detail painting as well). And thats it. I call the Golf Mk.I done.
See ya in the gallery!
Thanks for watching everyone.
