Re: The M3 (Really)

I love the license plate. I reached into my hat full of model compliments and came up with a "Good job!" (as if you really need another one of those)

It is. And they are. But they are seperate pieces, the side moldings. Sorry will. They did come out great tho.

Re: The M3 (Really)

Thanks for the kind words, all. The side moldings are in fact a seperate peice (which I think is incredibly clever)(and on the subject of clever things, the front struts have a little hat that can glue to the top or bottom of the strut for a "high and goofy" stance or a "low and raked and still kinda goofy" stance. It would hvae been even more clever if they did that in the front and back). The front and rear though were a scary moment of masking for me, but I seem to have gotten the hang of it. The secret? careful masking, followed by a shot of clear before the color! BRILLIANT!! That's a tip I picked up around here somewhere. I just shot Tamiya acrylic clear through my airbrush, shot some thinner through (not onto the car) then the black. Easy peasy. I will start doing my window trim like this too, and I will look like a pro!

Anyway, this was a fun kit, if you can find one snap it up. They make for neat quickie builds and have decent detail-up-ability. Now I'll get to work on the driver and a bitty intercooler.

Thanks all!

That color looks like a natural for that car. Very sharp!

Re: The M3 (Really)

Have to agree, very clean, clever, classy...
Just what I d think to pop out of your workbench. Many people could be fooled in thinking it's a real model, it's just right, and hey, on a second thought, the rims just go well with this car, they add to the distinguished look.

Very nice M3 you have there. I've been trying to look for the same kit in the LHS nearby but to no avail.
