Looks great! Meng (or Diopark) did a nice job with the w123 Mercedes - wish they'd scale it up to 1/24.

Simply amazing! Your attention to detail and weathering is excellent. This could easily pass as a news photo.

So true. But ome thing that was so hard to put together were the doors. The option is really nice. The doors can be made to open and close on the fly. But the mechanism that makes it work takes a helluva time to put together especially if you have tiny fingers. In the end I ended up gluing the doors in place. Too much headache. They could have used a simply design to make the option work.

Thanks for looking in guys. Christopher, unfortunately I do not have more pics. This was a test run on this dio I was building. I do, however took some pics of just the vehicle in it's unfinished stages on a stand-alone road. I threw out this vehicle as it was damaged at areas I did not want to be damaged. Also, due to a strong paint remover, I accidentally melted the plastic. I am planning on buying another vehicle for this dio.

Thanks guys. Christopher, I managed to find more photos, which I just uploaded from the different angles. Hope this suffice. I just wished I have done a better job with the merc. I am getting another vehicle to along with this dio. I will do a better job on that one.
