Terrific job so far!

Thanx Allan, the weight after painting is 29g (body shell) and the interior is 5g after painting. I have not casted a second body to weigh unpainted, but will post here when I do. The chassis, motor, axles, wheels and gears, all come in at 44g. So total weight for the Ghia will be 78g...which I feel is OK?
Cheers
Clive
