Bloody nice.
Hard to believe you havent picked a point up yet...but with so many other great models in the contest makes it hard.
The paint choice/wheels are perfect

i never noticed how great the paint was from the AF photo...should've submitted the 5th or 9th pic! :sunglasse

edit: nvm you did submit the 9th maybe it's because it's resized it looks different. :)

Wow, that looks much better in those pics, particularly the non flash ones.
I'll add a link to this thread on the comp page, so people can click to see this build in all its glory.

That's very nice looking, mike.
You could actually use the model as a mirror. :naughty:

That's a good one Mike!
Wish my experiments with nailpolish would come out half as good as this one. Adrian thinks your Skyline looks good to, he asked who's car it was and I had to tell him it wasn't mine :headshake :crying:

Cheers!

Thanks a lot guys & thanks Phil for fixing the link thing.
Consider myself quite lucky really with the results of the body here, after several coats of nail polish it was literally like a rough sandpaper, i used a whole can of clear on it & did the business with compound, meguiars etc, a lot of elbow grease involved but the results speak for themselves.
Thanks again, Mike.
