A while back there were comments about the models available from HobbyLink Japan. I bought one and am generally very pleased with it, although the "Back to the Future" alterations are quite annoying. So today I made my own louvre engine cover from an old cereal packet, and the result isn't too bad at all. If anyone else would like to try my cheapo method, I've detailed it at: www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~laddie/delorean Read the entire document before commencing, as I've tried to point out all any tricky points and you will have to damage the original model. But I still think it looks better at the end than it did at the start, and thats what counts! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com
