Finally finished the Porsche GT3 after a year and a half. I started this as my first model, then ended up finishing a C5R in there for the 24 Hours of Le Mans build. So this is Number 2, it could be better, but Im proud of it.
I do have to say, this color is difficult to photograph. It looks black indoors, purple in light, blue in direct light, all different colors of the spectrum. So here it is in the sun, and didnt not capture the color at all.

Great work Mike :sunglasse
This color is impossible to photograph.
Do you want me to add the pictures of you adding the very last detail?

Go ahead! I need to find some good way to shoot pics of it. We should have shot pics of it at Waynes, dont know why I didnt think about that. Thanks for the support guys.

Pictures @ Wayne's wouldn't have been any better; as I said before, it's impossible to shoot a model car in that color and have it look correct. They always end up mostly black.
I'll post Saturday's pics soon and link to your GT3. I'm hoping the closeups of the trike came out good too.

A couple more pics of the GT3. First is Mike's ceremonial gluing of the final part (the license tag).

A few seconds later, it's done:

The photo is about 4X larger than the model :sunglasse

Thanks a lot guys, it's been fun. I hope to progressively improve.

You know Phil, I never thought about it being my first non-speed-build.

Why are you posting other people's models? I really appreciate the effort from you and ZoomZoom to fool us, but we all know you've never really finished anything....
The paint looks stellar. Great work on the whole thing - I can imagine the paint and I bet it's stunning with those wheels.
The trike is freakin' cool too. I love offbeat, diversion projects.
