Oooh, shiny. Seriously, nice build and detail. Sometimes the oddest things catch my eye - like the part of the engine bay between the engine and the grill. Just looks perfect in the photos. You're probably thinking "All the time I put into highlighting the stitching on the seats and he notices the sheet metal in the engine bay?" What can I say?

Its awesome! Very unique. I might have swapped out the tires - aren't they a bit wobbly on the HD wheels?

Pegasus Michelin Pilots; they're what came in the Tamiya 350Z, are a good choice for these (and the stock DBS) wheels. They stretch nicely and have better sidewall detail than most modern kit tires. I think Pegasus knows who has the tire mold; they don't get the tires from Tamiya. Every time I see Rick/Scale Dreams at a show, I pick up a few sets for the parts box. I think they're only $4 a set.

I wasn't thrilled that the wheels have female receptors...for a Tamiya model that uses male connectors...:shakehead

I have the DBS under the knife ATM, but I'm having a wee bit of a problem with the CF decals. I cannot get them to fit nice'n smooth. It's SCMS stuff and even with SET & SOL I can't get them right, in the front splitters not to mention on the rear diffusor. Maybe I'll just paint them SGB?!!

Outstanding:eek2::eek2::eek2: I love the modifications and finish. Btw where did you get the metal powder? I really need one to finish my Mclaren mp4-25 but I can't find any.

WOW I wasn't ready for this! I mean it was a bit shocking to see the chrome finish, which was incredible! Top notch work! Hi Chris did you use any varnish to seal the chrome finish? I heard comments about the powder that it counldn't be touched after applied, was it true?

what kind of metal powder did you use? Kosutti?

I'm not that big a fan of the DBS but something about this build makes me happy.

Since I just installed the caps on my two DBS's that I'm working on, I noticed that your engine is lacking the oil cap. It's missing in the photos.

Woah! Woahhh!!! I love it! Great work making it and just a gorgeous finish. We can always count on you for something unconventional and really clever - this model and the flush trimmed screens are those! I love the chrome finish... beautiful, but now we have to call you SheikontheWall!
