Ahmotorsport Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 a man with hidden talents, when will you be showing at the tate gallery LOL Liking the updates.Ta. You soon won't. That Quattro is going. We asked for a weeks pay for labour, not even this months to which he replied "NO!" so we're sending a letter telling him what he owes us and told him to come and get it when the wheels are on. We thought he was joking but, its been a week and he hasnt turned up so, not messing about with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Does that mean its yours to sell If he don't cough up, yeah! lol The silly thing is, we have always said to him "If you can't afford to carry on, tell us to stop" Don't be shitty about it. It's not like we're expensive either, he charges £65 for 10 minutes work (he picks car locks when they've lost their keys or whatever) yet us charging him £25 an hour is expensive?

PeeWee Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 On the subject of drawing, use a photo, print or photocopy it.Grid it into squares example 4x8 squares.Take your blank paper and grid that the same amount but obviously larger squares, work within the boundaries of these squares to get the right perspective and sizes. (use very light 4H pencil for the boxes on your blank paper.Use varied pencils from 4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B.Make sense? Great thread btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard back from him. He's had the letter for probably two weeks now. So he owes us two weeks money for that car being in that spot.
