    I can't decide if his torso should be green or left black.

    My first thought was that the front bumper would be yellow (as in my colour guide that appears on the tech spec). But although Victorian Taxis do have yellow front bumpers it might look a bit odd on a toy.

    I think that the current look is not bad with a good even mix of the colours and adding more green or more yellow might be too much.

    There's still touch ups a plenty to do, and although I was quick I was a bit sloppy but as I said it's all part of the learning.

    I'd say its about 60-70% complete.

    how you planning to do the boxes on the sides?
    And I reckon you can definitely go green with the bumper - or just go with what you wanted originally and go the yellow It's a lighter colour - easier to correct if you don't want it later

    Nice work Paul, you have to bring it along to one of the next meets that (I can attend, not the lunch meets ) so I can have a play with it..

    I was kind of thinking Photoshop and some sticker labels in the printer. I probably wont do any more work on this until next weekend though.

    Looks great. I think you should make the bumper yellow like the mock up you did on the tech-specs.

    I'd love to get a look at him in alt mode.
