Peugeot 205 WRC on a crate - Heller 1:43

Write up -

A three week build. A vacation from structure, overly planning and ultimately myself I dove into a project that came to me by chance.
Balsa pallet being my largest learning here, apart from just forging through an idea, project and issues that come up.

Two primer colours, one matte coat, rest is hand brushed or hand applied on.

Details - Balsa wood, photo etch parts, tape

Modifications -
Scratchbuilt pallet, out of the box otherwise, apart from adjusting the offset and adding black off plastic card into the fenders as the model was see through.


Pros
My first experience with balsa
Representational weathering attempt
Speed, three week build
Tiny! 1:43

Cons
Nothing really, other than it could be more realistic.
Difficult to photograph, it’s far dustier and nicer in person
