Hey John,

Lookin' good sir, that is a cool airbrush holder, it is just amazing to me how all of your details just blend together just right, sometimes a lot of detail just doesn't quite "mesh" but yours just looks great. Can't wait to see it finished, thanks for sharing with us!! Oh, what did you use for the rivets on the paint, sharpie? Wow, you have got a steady hand, if I did that it would look like freckles everywhere!!

John, what number brush did you use for the pin striping. That is one minor detail that just adds so much to the car. I think I want to try that sometime myself. I love the choice of color and it just pops in my opinion.... well the whole car does... :( Still amazed at this build.

Beautiful work with the brush John. That's something I need....a good hand with an air-brush. ;) Truly a great bit of painting mate, I love the look you've achieved. :D;)

The Jag turned out Beautiful, John, I have to say my favorite parts have to be the front end (nothing against the rest of the car mind you!), I just really like the silver & red, they go together beautifully!, also like the front & rear wheels.
