Just waiting for delivery on the Tina one, got the 22x16 ....she don’t know it yet but it’s going above the tv so I can keep an eye on it 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

If you want the roof of the Anglia to be a stronger gold, I can probably do that.Β 

I thought the Tina came out well though. Get a pic up when it comes back πŸ‘

Working from home today Col, so can put more gold into that roof if you want?Β 

Stopping for a spot of breakfast πŸ˜€, then got to crack on with a hydraulic schematic for a winch. Will have some time around midday to give it a tweak if you think you need it.Β

They look great. How do you create the cut away drawings though?

Scan them out of an old manual or book, then clean them up through Paint 3D. I've had to print some out in high resolution, then get a sharp pencil to close of some lines/gaps to keep the colour to certain areas when using the paint bucket.Β 

First tried it with some electrical schematics for Katana, and thought I'd give a car a try while eating my sandwiches at lunch break.Β 

Col sent me some pics of his car, so I used the dropper tool to try and match his paint colours in the right places.

Just got a book now with a load of the old classics in, so should be much easier to scan now with less cleaning/erasing to do.Β 

I'm thinkingΒ  of doing some engine and transmission cutaways next for the wall, to go with the cars. I got a Type 9 manual somewhere, just got to dig it out.Β 

Here's a few I've already scanned and coloured. :

I would love to have one as close as possible to my escort.

Would you happen to have a 4 door signal yellow ?

Just had a look in my garage and mine is a 2 door, sorry 😁

Jokes aside, I gave my non RS Haynes to Preacherman (Neil), so don't have anything to start off with. I think the cover was rough on that though, but it definitely has a pic of a flat front on it.Β 

I would need a pretty clean, good scan to start off with, as they take a fair bit of time to Clean up and then paint.Β 

I just did a search and found an interesting link that has a line drawing, but it's not a cutaway. Got the file on my phone now and would at least need it transferred on my PC to see how sharp it is though.Β

Finally stuck mine up on the wall.Β 

Notice the exercise mat on the bench? Betty bought 2 over Christmas and said "Let's get fit in January". πŸ™„
