that;s a nice vehicle mate!! How did you do the headlights? Just paint them white and orange??

The wheels are a bit shiny, maby you have to maken them a bit more dusty.

Hilbert, youre right I have painted the lights.
About the wheels I have take a look at them but I think its coming from the flashlight that they are looking shiny

That is a very very nice build!

I love the very subtle paint scuffs and scratches around the door wells and the fenders. Is that wear and tear present on the 1:1 vehicle or was that your artistic license being exercised?

Cheers - Dan
