I'll call her Lola, 'cos she's a showgirl (an not a bush tramp ) or as another song will have it: "It's a clean machine..." (go on - most of you are old enough to guess both titles...)

Polished metallic silk sheen paint, gloss 3D effect glass type...

...and in case anyone is wondering where the time is coming from - I am obliged to allow my landlord to show potential new tenants around the place and this weekend's "show and let" time.

Oh, and before the crits pile up about the "mixed liveries" - this paint is merely a "proof of concept" - I have added a new paint technique to my palette - satin metallic. Also I have played around with the 3D effect glass lettering on the sides (the "Misty" version is OK as is, but this is an attempt at making the 3Dglass more pronounced... and I think it has worked, especially when you pan round in external view. I'll upload it soon.

As you can see, there's a few samll adjustments needed on the wraparound over the shoulders still.

Hi Chris! She looks very nice!! Nice effect on the lettering. Just a heads up ..... the N number would be N15MM. There would be no zero between the N and the 1.

Fairy nuff on the numbering - but I started the Misty Moorings set in the same vein as the theme - fictional. So the first "moorings skin" was N001MM and I have worked my way through.

Hi Chris,
Great! It´s a really good looking paint scheme!
