Thank you. That F40 still giving me nightmares. Was a tough build. Thanks! They are indeed. I started and cleaned up the body for that Dino in 2008. Test fitted couple of things, and put it back in the box. It was the first thing that I picked up on September 5th 2018. Been building it in my head for 10 years. Its Nissan's Bayside Blue, R34 GT-R color.

..since I picked up my Exacto again. Managed to complete 4 models, which is about 4 more than I did 10 years prior to that! Thanks for the inspiration and support. Live long, build them all.

Thanks, color turned better than I expected! Well, it has a little motor that spins rear wheels using the same power source that lights up the headlights. So it literally runs. Check WIP for detail. I see! Thank you! -
Very nice, love these cars.

Haha, funny you should say that. I just noticed that one of the wing mirrors in the pictures is "coming alive", i.e .coming out of the fender! When I was test fitting them, they were so snug, that I decided not to glue them at all, thinking that maybe I'll adjust them later. Totally forgot, and now I'm seeing the results of that! You mean the base? Its just a bottom of the display case it will be living in. Dust is a scale model cancer, and I usually seal them in individual boxes to stop that. Thanks all! -
Paint checking like this is likely one of two things - paint applied too thick, or sprayed in a humid setting.

Thanks Gents! -
This one took a bit longer than anticipated, but its completed at last! Old Tamiya kit, started as a box-stock build for a online contest, but didn’t get finished in time. Mid-build, as the box-stock requirement was lifted, some aftermarket decals and small additions like foil, etc were used to liven it up a bit. Yes, the lights work, and it does run! And a few on a base before it got sealed in the case and put on the shelf! And here is the link to WIP thread in case you missed it. Thanks! Alex
