Thanks!

It was fun, long hours notwithstanding! I have to agree w/Veyron, it does look better in person...sometimes a model looks better in pictures, sometimes it doesn't. I don't have a convenient place for attractive outdoor shots. And wait 'till you see Veyron's latest!

Awesome work, were you assisted by Mr. Food Dehydrator?

Yes, the dehydrator was working overtime on this one. The bulk of Saturday was spent painting-the second coat of lt. gunmetal, then clear, then all the interior and chassis parts, many of which needed to dry before masking for the black trimwork...from 6pm to 11pm on Saturday I was masking and airbrushing Tamiya SG Black acrylic. Think I spent about 15 hours on Saturday on the model, 4 1/2 on Sunday morning, and about 5 hours Wed-Fri getting the body prepped, primed, and painted w/the basecoat.

That's one of the most beautiful cars you've made of the ones I have seen. By the way I got your book on airbrushing for Christmas, it's a wonderfully done book.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear from people who really like the book.
