It feels so good to finish...
It even has license plates, the bane of my existence! :right: And the MR2 got it's rear plate, too.
Oh, I'm so proud. :flash: It's not perfect, but it's better than the last by leaps and bounds.  The polishing had to stop too soon. More clear coat next time! Another bug is the larger of the wiper blades doesn't lie flat, but I may work that out later... Wish me sucessful photography! :coolguy:

I love modeling, but I'm beginning to hate photography!
I took a full roll of film on this car, and I have 4 useful pics.  The rest are all messed up bacause I don't understand what to do with the aperature and shutter speed.  They all have one part of the car in focus, and the other end blurry! D'oh!Oh, well, here are the good ones:     I decided (too late) that I don't like the blue windshield shade thing. Oh, well. I also included a shot of the somewhat spartan engine bay. I want to dress up the NSX-R's engine a bit more with the wiring and whatnot.

Looks like Honda messed up with their measurements and made the bonnet prop rod way too long
 Congrots on finishing it, looks good!

I don't really think you're supposed to chuck the engine cover on the ground beside the car, either. :hehe:

Hey, hey. Looking good. Too bad the pics didn't turn out too great.
I'd like to seem the detail better. BTW check out how to put your camera into a macro mode. That's how you take the really close detail shots.

 That way, when the pics is bad, I know so, delete it, and take it again.I used 200 speed film. Does that matter? What settings do you guys use?

Jay, if you have SLR you have better gear than most budget digital cameras
For macro-shots try big zoom (telephoto) lens. Use not less than 400 film for indoor shots and poor light conditions. p.s.I use Nikon N65 with standard 20-80mm zoom lens. Sorry for offtopic

Another general tip I discovered while working on this... My wife has a set of "gel pens" she uses to write on black paper and for invitations and thank-you notes and stuff. I stole the silver one to do the door and trunk locks, and it worked great. They're ball-point, so I just put the tip in the keyhole and twisted it until it was full of ink, then let it dry. Works good!
