I totally agree with Karl. it's awesome
Unfortunately we can see your job just on photos
"Live" it will look even better, because model is very small, so with all those details and your stunning painting job, it must be a gem indeed

Congrats, I'm waiting for the dio

cheers

Ola Guys

Thanks for replying.

@ Karl
Thanks for your reply and compliments really appreciated. It's painting those details that I really love to do. It is what makes the difference from a factory fresh model to a vehicle that tells a story. But as I said earlier the trick is to not overdo it. I think I succeeded in that. And it's thinking up where a vehicle would be damaged or scratched and how certain things would look. The icy windscreen was something I thought of yesterday. Some things I have no clue if they are right or not. With the oilspills I tried to show that the vehicle had a blown gasket in the near past. And I actually have no clue how that would look. So I just went with my imagination of what that would be.
And yeah give scoring the headlight lenses a try. It is a simple technique and it delivers a good result quickly.

@ Mauro
Thanks for the reply and the compliments.
Yeah you are right.. allthough I really think that the pictures give a good idea of the work that went into it; But the way the pictures are made they give you the feeling taht you are standing next to the vehicle. But indeed in real life all those details are really small. In rfeal life you really have to examine the model to see all of it.
Now this is finished I can go further on the dio. More on that later.

With friendly greetz
