Talking GTMike400 finishes a model!!!!!!

After much procrastinating, whining, complaining about women, forgetting to eat, spending all his time communicating with the world via a keyboard, blah blah blah yada yada Mikey finally finished his model of his 1:1 ride

Mike would like you to think it looks like crap. You be the judge.

Dragon BMW E36 w/M3 aero package. Wheels aren't like his 1:1. It sits low like the 1:1. It's thankfully a lot quieter than his 1:1 and doesn't emit gas fumes like the 1:1 or it's owner. Cool model...even though Mikey doesn't think so

Looks great! I wouldn't have believed it from any other source. I'd've thought it was April 1 or something.

Great work, the paint is very excellent. Very clean and beautiful build. I sure hope Mike is having fun building, sometimes I'm afraid he makes it into to much work!

It looks good Mike! What are the chances of finishing two in a calendar year?

Re: GTMike400 finishes a model!!!!!!

That is one clean M3 - beautiful! Well done Mike... but the rear side windows look a bit odd.
IMO they would benefit from black trim on the window.

Check here for reference:



Cheers

PS: Mike left the wipers off to save weight and for aerodynamic reasons, right?

Thanks Dave. No turned parts on this one. I want to build another full detail to match my car even further.

Thanks Robrex, turning out two builds in a year...that would be the end of the world.

Here are two quick pics of my 1:1 for reference.

Re: GTMike400 finishes a model!!!!!!

The modifications are great. It is a decent model. The paint job looks a little dull though. You might want to try another polishing job?

Re: GTMike400 finishes a model!!!!!!

I knew you could do it Mike!
I am surprised this doesnt have scaled down, hand crafted cams, valves, etc.
It is great!
Will you bring this to NNL in November?
Morton, Dirk, all will be so proud!

It is a great compliment to have finished this while also making 256,000 posts on this board!

I cant wait to see your street rod done!

Nice build! I love BMW's, and it's always nice to see a BMW model finished. It's even better to see people with BMWs!
