Joking aside Warren I'm getting bored of always putting great build, stunning paint job, wow you're so quick etc.
So all I can say is 'I'll agree with what the rest said!!'
..your a crack up dude !!!
Thanks for the replys so far.
As for the panel lines...you either like them or not. Im not going to change them as IMO they look good and they make the car stand out better. If you look at any car's (even white ones), have a real good look next time and study what you see about the panel lines...you will see that they are black
Im not saying its right or wrong, as this is what i like about this hobby, we all have our own views. If you dont want to do it this way, then you work on what you think is best and what works for you.
As for the next project, i'm be waiting to see if the SAS kit from Chris arrives in the next day or two. If not i'll probably start on the ENZO, but that's getting popular here too ....so really, what i'm saying is that i have no idea !!!

*Not happy about the rear tail lights....did'nt really get a perfect straight line.
*Couple of the trim lines not straight
*The rear windows are a pain to mask and get right...not quite right also.
*Still got a paint hole in the front bumper which sanded out but still not 100%

the front lights looks a bit to far back but I lilke the rest of it, I built this once but it looked horrible so I scraped the parts, the front bumper looks really good on my boxster. Do you insert the front lenses from the back or the front?

Extremely nice, although, some constructive criticism..

-Panel lines are too thick, IMO.
-You missed one, on the bottom where the hood connects between the headlights.

Nice job, well done again. I like the panel lines but maybe you could try a thinner line. I use a millenium pen .005 and the panel lines turn out great. just a thought.

Jesus Pman, I can still remeber your thread 'Next model on the table'. Now the kit is already finished! You must build like how the 'Agents' from the film ' The Matrix' move.

Top job as usual anyway. What's next on your to-do list??

If the SAS kit arrives today i'll start on that, if not it will probably be the ENZO.
Been playing around with different wheels etc for the Celica

Go for the Celica, Pman. Although a smashing kit, we've had a lot of Enzo's recently.

Keep playing!...;-)>

IMHO, those babies are too tall, too bling-bling, to dubb'ed and too much like one of those strange Japanese luxury cars...Why not a nice split 5 spoke rim in 18-19 scale inches?

I think my main problem is that with the spokes widening at the rim, it makes the whole rim look heavy and seems to drag the car's styling down as well...as does the rivets on the rim.

to me it needs something that would lighten the look, something like the Ferrari F-50/Enzo type wheels.

Of course these are just my idiotic opinions and whatever you choose will be great!
