I remember that day well! Let me put the photo into context for you

Girl 1: „Oh look! Stevenski’s coming back!”
Girl 2: “We kept your car dry but you can’t have it back unless you take us with you!”
Now, THAT'S a sexist attitude! j/k

Awsome detailing on the chasis - looks real!!
I really like the way you picked out those nuts and things. Toothpick?
Stirling job!!

Looking most excellent. The engine detail is awesome.

Not toothpick, fine point sable brush.

Sure......



Or how's this for a size comparison?



Yes, they are all 1/24.
I guess Italians are just small people. Poles might be too, Stevenski?

Awsome picture!
Poles just LOVE diminutives - after all, Vodka (wódka) means "little water". I don't know what the Italian excuse is
You have a Beetle on the go too? Nice!

Damn, that's tiny. So cute though.

This picture looks so surreal it's hard to imagine that they are both the same scale, awesome build so far, can't wait to see this car finished.

[alakai]

Very cool build. You've got a good eye for detail. I've been tempted to buy this one, I think it would look great next to a Mini Cooper. Keep up the awesome work!

[kunta]

Wonderful progress. paint job on engine looks awesome.

[quadzero]

this has to be the most entertaining thread here, thanks, Gridgirl and Klutz. i had no idea this car was that small, wow. that engine must be really really tiny then! your detail work takes on a whole new meaning now.

First turbo charged alternator I ever saw.

Nice build.
