Tell him you won't do it unless you get to drive/ride in his car.

Re: Oh help me for I am terrified

I've gotten to sit in it before, and heard it running with and without exhaust...and I'll for sure be able to get really good reference pictures...but still...

I would be willing to do the body paint and CF work but thats a nerve racking build. i dont know if i would touch it. not for an owner.

Oh my god I would love to do that. To make a exact replica for an owner of a Ferrari that I could study?

Sigh....

I just don't know enough (any?) people who own Ferraris.

Re: Oh help me for I am terrified

Are you going to build a replica of the real car? What's the colour?

Re: Oh help me for I am terrified

Commissions can be stressful. I've done a few and i'm always thinking in the back of my mind about how slow it's going and if the client is going to like it or not.

I say go for it though. Judging from the completed pics in your gallery, you shouldn't have a problem.

Re: Oh help me for I am terrified

His is red. He also has a maroon metallic Murcielago (which I might get to do as well...but matching the color?!?) and... *gasp* ...a Mclaren F1.

Comissions don't bother me that much, but there's a big difference between a box-stock Revell kit of a 2002 Corvette and...the Tamiya Enzo. Honestly, I don't think my skills are up to the challenge. Something like this really makes you question your skills. (and looking at my gallery, how do you know I'm not just a really good photographer? lol)

I'm thinking I'll build mine and his side by side,
1) so if I break something or screw something up, I'll have a replacement part
2) so I can test stuff out on mine and know how to do his when I get to it, and
3) so I won't have to go through this twice.

Which means my Enzo will have to be red, but that's okay.

Re: Oh help me for I am terrified

The tamiya probably. Looks like you need to get another one if he didn't supply the kit. I wish you the best of luck in the up coming challenge, but from seeing your models in person, know that you will do a great job at it.
