True about the exhaust's...but its something that i'm hopeless at trying to get right, so they will have to stay as they are :o

Thanks for the comment though

I cant wait to see this done, and i get to see it in real life! I HAVE to go the Melbourne motor show for my systems technoligy class and i just read today that one of the Enzo's is going to be featured. So im going to hopefully get some engine pics to build my own.

I still cant wait for this one.

I cant believe I just said that. I will probably get harassed for the rest of natrual born life because of this.
Don't feel intimidated by pointing out errors or improvements to anyone's models, no matter how good the modeller. Yes, P Man can get really good, even, paint finishes, but there are people out there that do exhibit more of an eye for detail and realism. Bottom line - no one's perfect.

I can honestly say that I went through all those pics, with my jaw dropped as far as it can go

Great work!

Talking

Anyone can point out mistakes/differences of opinion, etc...and even Cesar has his bad days. Here's my point.

Hey PMAN, you are either one extreme or the other aren't you? Now you've got the panel lines so light, I can't even see them (much less the panels themselves)...;-)>

Yes, I know where the door is. Yes, I'll be leaving now. No need to point that at me.

P-Man, do you mask and spray every part? I see no brush strokes at all.

I try and spray as much as i can by can.....if i dont have that colour its brushed on.
The seats are done by brush and turned out perfect. I use enamal and heat the paint up in hot water first for 5 minutes so the paint is warm so it flows better....you cant see any brush marks at all

What do you use to clean the paint off your brushes, because I use acrylics and clean the brushes with water.

Since acrylics are water based, I use water on mine.
