Hi,

it is finished. As mentioned before - it was for me a test in making damage and dirt

[klutz_100]

Looks simply great Micha

I love the missing light on the back with the wires sticking out LOL

Only thing that doesn't totally get my vote is the tires: the mud splashes on the sides, the way they stand on top of the mud and the the tire tracks missing in the mud under and behind the car. Very picky of me, I know

This is one of my favourite cars! Very nice weathering and also the dents.
Good attention to details too

Excellent! Looks really convincing, how did you do the dents? Did you heat the plastic?

[tuned.by.twenty]

This is some of the most realistic damage I've ever seen.

Incredibly realistic.

Congratulations on this greatly executed build.
And hats off to you for having the guts to "dirt-up" such a beautiful model like this.

Very nice! Love the attention to details like the wires sticking out at the rear :-) The dented bodywork is really impressive. Well done!

Looks amazing! Great weathering and damage.

Where did you get your hood pins? Im needing some for a project of mine.

[quadzero]

Looks excellent of course. The great base really brings out the details of all the weathering and damage of the car. I really like the wipers you used. Great attention to detail everywhere you look on this beauty.

Cool looking car, great model. The damage is very real and the weathering superb, well done..!!

Excellent finish! Damage is very realistic. I went to the Nissan motorsports festival and saw the 240Z safari car and it has been kept just as it finished the rally. Damage and scrapes and all...

Fantastic model, one I want to build for sure!
