Nothing clever to report. Just patience in the building.

Francoise is all but finished, she just needs a bit of tidying here and there.

Progressing well, General and that is a nifty bit of figure painting. It might just be me, but I can't help thinking that Francoise looks a bit like Mick Jagger, not in her attire obviously.

OMG! I just watched Performance again recently and see what you mean. :lol:

Don't let the nonsense distract you General, this is going great. 8-)

Cannot unsee now!
I have had a good look at her and it would seem that I chose the perfect angle to not look like herself.

I bet that's what Tom Cruise says when someone paps him and he ends up looking a bit like me in the photo :ha:

I have attached the headlights assembly and fortunately the damaged part is not too noticeable.

Good looking front end to the car, General. It looks from here like a bit of plastic rod will cure the missing headlight stay if you feel inclined to add it.
