Ace-Garageguy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Nice chop technique. Leaving the A-pillars in the stock location and moving the base of the backlite (and C-pillars) forward to take up the extra distance that's usually added to the roof moves the visual mass of the car forward just a tick, and helps to achieve a more aggressive look overall. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Without doubt, the most believable slightly-weathered bare metal finish I've seen so far on a model. How'd you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
