Emira Art - back on the horse....Nimbus rides again

[eclat2emira]

Hi, it's quite some time since I've posted here and over a year since I've done any painting. Festive break saw me back art the easel and enjoying it once i'd blown the cobwebs away.

The Nimbus Emira painting, last featured here when half finished: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-art-its-nimbus-time.1642/ is now nearing completion.

My own Emira has done done over 9000 miles and the love affair continues....

Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing the finished product

That's it complete except for 4 small details (actually 3 small and one not so small...) - I fully expect seasoned Emira experts like you to spot all 4! You can DM me your answers if you want to keep the others guessing a while longer...

Whatever a valve controller is, it's not it.

Awesome to see you back here! Love your work.

I can spot a missing nose badge, FE logo on dash, door handles…

Thanks, work and other commitments have kept me away but it's great to be back on here - I'd forgotten what a great community it is.

Great spots, although the first edition badge on the dash is also missing in the reference shot - I should add it in, once I check if it's visible from that angle...

...looking forward to adding that.

Fuel filler flap?

Good to see you back on the forum! The 4 details I see missing are front nose badge, door handle, FE logo emblem behind the rear side window, and the fuel filler lid. Beautiful work as always.

So I noticed the missing front badge right away but can't believe I missed the missing door handles and fuel lid, geez! But also....no wipers!

Fuel filler flap?

I hadn't spotted that! I actually flipped this image left to right before I painted it, so the side showing is actually the side without the flap. Great spot though!

Missing the small blisters in the door paint?

So, apart from the 3 or 4 errors, the door handles, fuel filler cap, wipers, “what have the Romans ever done for us “?

Wipers was the easiest spot but came last!

Too funny, will see what I can do!

Great work and the best color combo.

Thanks Rory, it is definitely a winning combo. Red calipers must hide the brake dust better than my yellow ones too...

That is beautiful! And exactly my combination too. If you ever decide to make and sell prints of this, I'M IN!
