    Recieved my latest load of parts today, so made a start on the transmission shaft, I painted the main body gloss black and the slip yoke I did in metallic silver, looks much better now:

    Also painted both of the rear calipers a one-off colour to closely match the front ones:

    Rear axle assembled, fitting the wheels was rather tricky!

    Just a quick update on a new part I've modded ( thanks to Kev for the idea )

    Stevie B's DB5 adventures 2012-05-09095625

    Drivers side rear light unit fitted in place, I've painted the backs of the lights gloss black to replicate the originals, then added a small piece of tubing to make the oil spray jet more realistic and painted it silver.

    Afternoon Guys, heres afew piccies of the replica compressed air tank I've fitted in the boot of my DB5 after I saw some pictures on the internet of the stunt DB5 that was used in the film.

    Ok so I started off with a empty CO2 cylinder from a gas air rifle which was just the right sort of size for what I wanted:

    Stevie B's DB5 adventures 2012-05-20170746

    I decided to paint it matt grey and then made a 'Warning' sticker for it, I had to cut out a section of the boot floor for the tank to sit low enough down so the boot would close, this acted as a mounting for the tank too, I then strengthened the underneath of the boot floor. I also carpeted most of the boot out too:

    Stevie B's DB5 adventures 2012-06-01205444

    Lastly I used some old LEGO air tube and some tie-wire to make the pipework up that comes out of the tank, I originally wanted to run the pipe to the far end of the boot, but could not due to the shield holder, so I instead ran it into to recess in the boot floor and out of the side cut-out, I'm still really happy with it and it's something a little different mod wise:
