Re: Chrome Aston Martin DBS Volante
Oooh, shiny. Seriously, nice build and detail. Sometimes the oddest things catch my eye - like the part of the engine bay between the engine and the grill. Just looks perfect in the photos. You're probably thinking "All the time I put into highlighting the stitching on the seats and he notices the sheet metal in the engine bay?" What can I say?

Re: Chrome Aston Martin DBS Volante
Its awesome! Very unique. I might have swapped out the tires - aren't they a bit wobbly on the HD wheels?

I wasn't thrilled that the wheels have female receptors...for a Tamiya model that uses male connectors...

Re: Chrome Aston Martin DBS Volante
I have the DBS under the knife ATM, but I'm having a wee bit of a problem with the CF decals. I cannot get them to fit nice'n smooth. It's SCMS stuff and even with SET & SOL I can't get them right, in the front splitters not to mention on the rear diffusor. Maybe I'll just paint them SGB?!!

Re: Chrome Aston Martin DBS Volante
Outstanding
 I love the modifications and finish. Btw where did you get the metal powder? I really need one to finish my Mclaren mp4-25 but I can't find any. |
