Dck- very nice! i sometimes wish i took courses in air brushing when i was younger...

ive been to tamiya's booth at toy shows where this talented artist was demonstrating their airbrush on a 1/24 scale car like yours. it's AMAZING how clean and thin they can paint the body panels. honestly it's better looking than any diecast ive seen.

Yeah I've been into plastic models for a long time now. I've also made an Enzo Ferrari a few years back. I'm thinking about doing an SLS AMG in matte black next, or if an LFA becomes available I'll hold out for that.
I just wish I had a better camera. :'(

Yeah, I was a model building whore as well. Had a website and everything. Oh god I'd go to my workshop at 8PM and by the time I would go to bed it would be sunrise.

Okay guys... I updated my first post in this thread with some new pics! I got a White Ebbro Z and a hot wheel blue Z. I still have to post a pic of the blue wireless PC mouse I got too!!!

I NEED MORE!!! Like when Autoart or Kyosho do it...

i wish hotwheels would've finished the tail lamps on those blue z's.

i have one too and it's just a plain blue.

over the holidays i bought a Z01 from Matchbox as a stocking-stuffer and both front and rear are decaled.

Yeah the hot wheels thing isn't really that great to look at, but hey, it was 98 cents, and might be a collectable

My kid was trying to play with it, but I told him sorry, it can't be opened!!!
