Well done 

Yep, having one all over colour really pulls it all together.

Bravo.   

        

impressive combination / mashup !

It does, doesn't it   

I couldn't tell where this was going at first but bit really came out well.

I'm sure Sir William would have been pleased. 

very many thanks for the kind comments folks    I still need to get some kind of sanding dremel to improve the finish   

more pics & hovercraft option.......

Nope ..no Dremel ..by hand ..use car wax ..like Turtle or similar..alot of rubbing with clean very soft rags..you'll be amazed at the end result..a Dremel can spin to fast and eat the paint or heat up the plastic even with its polishing pads..ask me how I know

ok thanks for the heads up ....I'll back away from a dremel, I was thinking of the cleaning up the filler nothing else, maybe precision files?

Strangely the only real way is good old sand paper..wet n dry is the only way to go or sanding pads..well worth hunting some of those down but for simplicity sake I just use sand paper..Aussie made wet n day and multiple grades..everything from 80 to 2000 grit ..it's cheap..lasts and when sanding with water..cuts beautifully without alot of effort.
Hell I use it to polish real cars head lights 
Files just get clogged up and very quickly .
Files work on epoxy putty but only when it's 100 percent dry which is hard work with sand paper ..a dremel would work here to as the putty will be super hard and a dremel cutting bit will crave the putty and the sanding wheels and disc's will work to but on stuff like Tamiya putty sand paper is ya best bet.
I've got dozens of sheets of sand paper ..I work on real vehicles too so its needed for that aswell 🤘👍

lIke the others.. the solid colour really changes the look and it flows together.

Interesting concept. 

When it comes to sanding, good old fashioned toothpaste works marvellously in getting nice clear finishes on clear parts etc.
