I am indeed. I am planning to use a standard colour produced by Luxor called Massey Ferguson Red - it keeps things simple in terms of color matching, and if memory serves, its quite an attractive bright red

It is a nice colour. Have not seen it on a Beauty like yours before but remember my dad had a Massey Ferguson like that long time ago when I was still a youngster and it was a beautiful thing.

I have followed Thomas's Advice and made a rudimentary dome out of cardboard, and just laid a thin layer of FG over it, couldn't find a nice sized piece of bendable plastic.

Next I will shape it with a little bit of body filler, and hope for the best. :oops:

Its also the first time I'm working with FG, and in all the online tutorials, no one ever mentioned the strands stretches when you lay over the resin, but anyway, whats done is done, and I have learnt quite alot. :puterwork:
