Bryan H Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well done Tim! Great photos as well with good lighting. Personally, I think it looks great without chicken lights. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy's Law Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Wow! Super job! Not to nitpick (really) but did a seam get missed on the air cleaner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmija Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Tim . . . are the wheels Duplicolor, Killer Chrome or ?? To me, those are your most realistic yet. I love the way you use different NMF finishes to get that real life look. Very nice Pete, Regards, Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkuaso Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i think it looks good as is. the chicken lights may just be a bit much. you already have alot of detail on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
