In a few of the pics, I couldn't tell which car was the real one vs the model. It looks that accurate. You have great skill!

Excelent, you make want to buy this model. I like it without that "bridge" between tail lights, but I like those silver licence plate lights on real car ( I supose you didn't get them with kit).
Any way it looks perfect.
Regards,

Same here man!! I couldnt tell I had to scroll up and down..hehe.

Nice job man! Very nice!! I like how you put the filter where the light is!! Thought about making an engine? That would be awesome.
The guages are cool!!! Keep up the great work

Great! This is probably one of the best models of a real car I've seen. I just love it. Detail is where it's all at, and you've got tons! I can't wait to see what else you've got coming our way; weren't you workin' on a model of your own roadster?

Oh my god! It looks so real on some pics! Maybe just need a little "light black" wash on the panel lines...
You've done a great work!

Thanks for all the feedback guys!! I had fun making Yelo.
I haven't given the model to the owner yet but I'll post some pics soon.
Just wanted to say thanks to my bro for making the little license plate. He saw the completed and was quite dissapointed. He said and I quote," Why didn't you make it real like those other guys and add panel lines?" He was referring to some of Kunta and Veyron's models that I showed him earlier...oh well I learn how to do the panel lines soon!

I've got several projects that I want to do, so I thought I would ask you guys what you would like to see...
1) Beleive it or not I would like to do another 4-door 510 for a friend and add the engine to it, but...

It has an SR20DET!! Do I bite the bullet and use a JADA toys metal kit's plastic engine??

2)I have a kit of my dream car...a '65 Lincoln Continental convetible. you know the one with the sucide doors. It will be black

3)Then there's the Ta-22 Celica that I want to use the TFTF SUpra chassis and drivetrain...but how to do it?

4)Finally, like Willimo mentioned I still have the silver roadster to finish

Some people use Pigma Micron 005 Pens. They have tips that are about 0.5 or less in diameter. They are easy to draw on, and if you make a mistake, you can use rubbing compound to fix it.

Thanks for the tip! I never thought of using a pen. I've read that you you can use really thin paint.
When you say "rubbing compound", is there a certain brand out there?
Also, what brand modeling putty works best?

Off-the-charts!!! It looks fantastic!! :D A stunning replica!!

Thanks for the tip! I never thought of using a pen. I've read that you you can use really thin paint. Here in Cali, you can get the Pigma Micron Pens at Micheal's.

As for rubbing compound, you can use any kind of polish (that you may have used in your project i.e. Tamiya) I guess you would have to say that I'm branded by Tamiya in saying that I personally think that tamiya brand putty has worked the best for me as well as their rubbing compound. There a few posts on washes around the FAQ. Just go search a bit, and you'll probably find it.

Sweet, thanks for the help guys. I've never used polish on model cars only real ones! But I'll pick up tha Tamiya polish and putty..then I'm heading over to Michael's for the Pigma pen.
I'm going to panel line the crap out of my next car!!!!!!!!
