The model is coming along quite well, OK actually. I've leant a lot from this model, one thing is that I need to use my air brush and masking more. The airbrush kind of scares me. Then I should just be using the brush on very fine details.

The next model I do is a cheep Revel Mini Cooper. I'll be trying to airbrush as much as I can. I bought it for that reason. It should give me more pratice spraying and masking.

Thanks man. It's pretty much ready. I just need to touch up the shitty window trim job that I did then start decaling.

Thanks. Yeah I am glad. Although I see how you did that STi so fast though. Compared to the number of parts and detail in the roll cage, undercarrage, wheels, decals, etc in the Corolla the STi looks like a childs toy.

But I like how it seem you're getting no where just painting, touching up and cutting parts, then all of a sudden the whole thing comes together in practially a couple hours. Race cars take some time...

UPDATE

The decaling is coming along OK. I'm having some trouble with some of the decals however.

I couldn't get this flap to sit down for the life of me.

This decal gave the hardest time so far!

It's split and needs to over lap itself to fit correctly but I couldn't get it positioned right AND looking good at the same time!

VERY annoying and it looks like shit to boot.

This one pissed me off too! The other side went on quite well but I guess my there was more damage to my decal sheet than I thought. This end just felt dried out and wouldn't stick worth a damn. Would some of that decal solution help this? What should I do now?
