My entry for the contest....a sneak look !!

Well.......all going well this well hopefully be my entry into the modelling contest. I'm fast running out of time to have it finished though.:(

Thankyou to tonioseven for finding and sending me the kit:)

Just thought i'd finally share it to stop all the PM asking what it is....so here is a sneak look !!!

So far the kit was sanded and primed then painted in Tamiya TS-39 Mica Red. The paint was quite hard to cover over the white primer and needed around 7-8 coats before i was happy with it. The body details are almost done. The window trims and those "panel lines":finger: are done too !! A final rub with compound and a polish will finish the outside.
At present trying to get the final height set.....the kit comes with no suspension so its proving to be a bit of a pain to get right.
The rims are Equip 5 spokes.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Wow Warren, that's is one fine looking PT!! Not a Merc, but it still runs in the family. Hope you get it finished before wednesday!!

Very nice! Man, those rims are cool.

Wow, this is going to be a tight contest

How much longer do we have til the DEADLINE?

Its a surprise, i'll say that much!;) I thought you were aiming to have the F150 done in time.

The cruiser looks great on those rims, great finish as always.

THAT is relaly perfect.. no Flaws what so ever!!!... but for me, im not a fan of PT cruisers in general.., its a shame to waste ur talent on such an ugly car in my oppinon! ;)

Lookin good, can't wait to see it finished;)

How much more bigger than a 19" can you get? :cool:

One of those DUB wheels maybe...

;) ...I'm having enough trouble getting these to fit !!!

Pman if it wasn't so late into the contest you could have beaten them all by putting in a Viper engine inside:eek: and this has been done in the states. :D


Maybe that will be a good idea for after the contest ;)

She looks good! Especialy that paint job:smoker:

Nice job, as usual. Whats up with the front headlight? Is it broke?

They are not fitted in the pic ;)

Quick update from today.....
Windows and lights painted and now added. Added some nice huge brakes but due to the small amount of time they didn't get drilled out.
Just a few final touch's to go and it should be ready :devil: :devil:

Geez no joke those brakes are big! Are they out of a Ferrari? I can just barely see some text on the caliper, I think it says Ferrari. Well anyway, they are huge! It's looking great Pman just get it finished quick!

That looks great. The competition is gonna be tight for sure!

well.. don't need to make this contest... give him the first price then will retry next year :D
