Nice work, very unique! :)

Looks good but the body could use some detailing because it looks a little too plain...do some panel lines and things

nice model

I love the interior modifications you made. They really make it pop without clashing, plus the gauges are sweet. Nice looking model, though not a car I'd personally choose.

Is it just me, or do the Corrado cabriolets look like they've all been punted in the ass?

I agree. You could tint the lights a litle. I also think it`s a bit too high, those rims look too stock......:D
but the interior is like :eek2:


Keep up the good work!

I do somehow agree with the comments made here.

IMO, it looks a bit too sleak, too clean, needs some details on the outside, otherwise it does look like a little kid's car.

Still, interior is very nice.

Good job esp. on the interior!

you need smaller rims imho:huh:

Wel done. Nice rims.

Hi fab,

like the others said , a bit more details on the body wouldn't be bad: panel lines, exhaust, ... and just a little black wash in your ventilations grills (dashboard).
And probably a black wash in the brake discs too, like I told you yesterday ;)

Other than that, good job. I had already told it to you when we met ;) :D

Love the interior! The arse-end looks like it needs a bit of jazzing up, but great work! :coolguy:

Hi, I agree with your critics and I don't search excuses but first, the lights haven't depth (It's very difficult to give a real appearance), second there is a lot of imperfections ( I think I have limited a few of them). Now, I can make some panel lines and an exhaust but for the other problems...

See this Corrado, it's the same thing http://www.volny.cz/sabop/auta/ZenderCorradoCabrio.htm

Where is your engine?

You can see a part behind the grill. I don't like the engine (it's not a VR6) I've painted it in aluminium but it's not very special.

Very nice :)

But metallic paint never looks good on a model car. Is there a model paint equal to Volkswagen's "pearl effect" paint?

I don't know, I'm not a VW specialist. You can ask this question to Deedlit, he knows a lot of things on VW.

I'm here :D :D

Unfortunately not but the best is to use real automotive paint . It's what I used on my Golf Mk4, it's painted "black magic pearl" and it gives perfectly the pearly effect.

Hey Deakins, I love your avatar :D :D, I'm ready to meet these girls :D :silly2: ;)
