Looks spectacular. Are you going to use it in a heist?

I was thinking the same thing. It really turned out great, the colour is super. Althou you can't really see it here, I was especially amazed at the interior and how well it was done from your wip. Fantastic work.

Re: Tamiya 1/12 Mini Cooper

The Color is Deep Metallic Blue + Clear Pearl. It's really hard to take picture of it without seeing all flakes. (which look bad on pictures) I had to redirect the light. But I'm happy. Now I will start a bike (I want to make one for few months now )

Thanks for comments.
