$1400 for a built MP4/6 in 1:12... Phew.. That is a load of money.. Think you will be able to sell your build for this kind of money?
Yeah, I saw that. I am not quite sure if it's worth it because the pics are crap... they are so small and blurred you can't see anything...
But the base is really nice!!

Update: I just saw someone bought it for 1475€...! here's the new link click.

Yes, the color is different from what the instructions say. It's Alclad II Magnesium looks way more realistic, if you ask me. And as you can see from my pics it looks a bit different from another angle or light! And about your second question, yes I applied a light texture to the transmission. The black basecoat was sprayed from a large distance.


Sorry, that there are not so many updates lately. I mainly worked on small parts, cleaned and sprayed them etc. very time consuming. And I glued the first exhaust together wich was quite dissapointing, the fitting was horrible (compared to modern Tamiya standarts (Enzo, CGT...)) But some glue here and there and it turned out well.
And I finally found the perfect gold for the suspension arms Alclad II pale gold is the way to go, looks great. Pics will follow in the next few days after the paint is dry.
