I like it!!

[Mean_B16]

Well here are some more update shots, this one will finally be done soon! just waiting on the LH dash from "phatmitsu" so I can finish the interior. Hope you enjoy!










and finally the Momo steering wheel


I don't know why the pics look so "Rough" the car looks a lot smoother in person. my camera me be getting out of date faster than I hoped

[Veyron]

Looks terrific except the rear spoiler needs to be redesigned. If you look at that car, it has three hoops going on, the windshield frame, the rear bar and then your spoiler which doesn't flow or integrate with the front two hoops. My 2 cents for free.

[.porkchop.]

my hat comes off for you my friend,
thats a great job you've done, captured the lines and shape of the WW kit perfectly! amazing work!

only one question tho, to the rear of the side skirts, theres a black area there that seems to be empty?? whats up with that?

[.porkchop.]

oh, and please do tell us how you made the M3 style vents on the fenders?

[D[X]P]

looks great but as few said,the spoiler doesnt look right

Thanks, but remember I am building this car for a customer to HIS specs exactly. The wing is a dead ringer for the WW wing in 1:1 scale and it is what he wanted so I delivered. The "black" spots in front of the rear wheels are actually cut outs for the dual exhuast (Saleen style) to come through. I did hate cutting up the side skirts but again I am just building what the guy wants. Thanks for the comments though.

I just use small pieces of styrene carefully glued and puttyed in place. After primer and paint, it looks pretty nice.

[bah humbug]

Looks pretty good. Hard work has been put into this model but and I think you did a good job but the front section looks a little eh eh but overall I think it looks good.

And 1 more thing the manifold looks scorched.

I think you could have done better because I think if you were building it for youeself. Because you guys know when you build a model for yourself you do everything you possibly can to satify yourself.
I also think you could do better if you were building it for yourself because you would have all the time in the world to build for yourself, but for a customer you can't take that long. I'll shut up now.

I think it looks pretty good.

[Mean_B16]

Remember, I am not done yet. When I am all the way through it wil look very clean! I promise

[bah humbug]

Ah yes, I think I have made a mistake.

Because you primed it I thought your were going to paint already. I guess you just primed to check body work.

[phatmitsu]

Looking good.. Loving that front end.. The dash should be there real soon.. keep it up its looking killer... Later Rick

[Blowncivic1320]

STOP BEING SO GOOD AT MODELS!!!
Jus kiddin, that is beautiful keep up the great work

[RyanGiorgio]

OMG! Thats candy for the eyes! Excellent job all around. Great portrayal of skills there.

[endlesskev86]

good work!
any tips on how to sand it so smooth?
