A grey day on the moors. Very quickly edited on my phone while waiting for the weather to improve.

The bl##dy pole didn't even get scratched! There is a slight paint scratch on the tailgate - T cut and a small brush will sort that. A very small nick in the plastic bumper - black hot glue will sort that. But there is a large plastic trim panel/diffuser in the centre that has a big crease in it - ...

Checked on an overnight 3D print - success! More ModelU figures to paint. Started a second run for some spares. Settl...
