Re: Lotus E21 1/20 E. Jean
Thank you very much for the nice comments. I really appreciate it.
I am very happy that E21 is finished. I bought his kit many years ago. He started working on her and messed everything up. Since then, the E21 has been in the closet. Recently a friend printed new decals for me and I was able to finish the model.
I'm already working on a new project. It is my first 3D work. I'm still learning and discovering new 3D possibilities.
My first project is MCL35M. The hull is a little rough, but I will fix that with sanding and putty. I will definitely share my work.

Re: Lotus E21 1/20 E. Jean
You meant that you have problem with original decal too ? When I tried to build years ago and I found that E21 decal was very hard, it cracked when applied on curved surface especially on the SIDE POD. Finally I gave up.sira wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:27 am Thank you very much for the nice comments. I really appreciate it.

The E21 kit has hard decals. The problem is the side decals with GENI advertising. This decal features a red background and a beige stripe. It is a large hard decal that must be placed on a rounded surface. I was unable to place this decal without damage.
That's why I created only the white GENI inscription in the Corel program, and the red background with a beige stripe was done with Airbrush and paint.

The decal was killing me.
So, how did you get the decal printed with color WHITE ? I wanna build it.

A friend has a printer with white print. He prints decals to order.
I can have it printed for you, or I can send you the file and you can have it printed.

The Lotus looks great!
It actually was a pretty car, looking back at it.
