Beautiful clean build, I plan to build this car one day and I hope it's up to this level.
I agree.

I also like the display base, although the stands for the engine cover are probably a little overkill for my liking. I'd get rid of them and have the cowling on the base.
I disagree on two counts. Firstly, I think that it is important to raise the cowling a little to show the detail that lies underneath. I can see heat shielding and CF under the cowling which I wouldn't be able to see otherwise. Secondly, I think that the stands are well executed and fit the overall theme.

Having said that, if it was me, I would have chosen a less obtrusive way of mounting the cowling, most likely a single clear rod.

Maybe, better still, a couple of thin wires which could suspend the cowling over the engine bay of the car.

Each to their own, eh?
