Well all I can say is it may be necessay to upgrade your modeling skills.The body appears to be brush-painted and the chrome trim defintely is!First you should practice with rattle-cans(Spray paint) or better yet get an airbrush.You should also look to buy some Bare-metal foil for the chrome.Easy to use and does a great job!You do have some interesting ideas, you just need to learn to execute them better!

Hey Nick-

I too like your ideas. Is the light on top one that you molded or what kit did it come from? Is that the kit that has the trunk already open or did you do that also?

I hope that you weren't upset with the friendly criticism from the other guys. Although it may have come off a little harsh, I'm sure it was not intended to be that way. Take it for what it is and work to improve the skills that they commented on. Remember, we are all here to learn from one another and when we post our builds, we have to expect some criticsm along with the praise.

Keep up the posting and let us see what else you have.

Later-

I did this car 3 years ago ok, I have an airbrush and have painted with rattle cans for the last 2 3/4 years, this was my last brushed car.

Definitely step up to rattle cans.

That's what I use.

I'm not great at it but it works alright.

Besides that,

You got some really good Ideas into it.

Good added detailing..

What's the burlap sack for?

Unruly prisoners? :)

It's a blanket for crashes.
