Finished this one up earlier this month, just getting around to posting it now.  Another Moebius kit, really like these for a pleasant, relaxing build.  I have a neighbor who has one of these in his garage under a tarp and thought I would build him a model of it.....showed him the kit and explained what I would do, said he wasn't interested.  Oh well another model for my display.  These kits go together very well, no problems.

Great looking build. Nice main stream type car. A little black wash on the grill might help bring out the detail a little.

Very nice. And a very nice gesture. Your neighbor sounds like a turd.

We both moved in here about the same time (14 years ago) and I think he is probably around my age (76).  I see him "walking" his dog occasionally and at the mailboxes sporadically but he pretty much keeps to himself.  I was kind of surprised with his reaction, particularly when he didn't offer any explanation, but he may be having problems that make having a model of the car the last thing he needs.  Unfortunately this seems to be the prevailing mood with seniors nowadays.

As I posted on another recent build, I really appreciate the gracious comments, they are inspiring to an old guy like me.  I also took ESPO's advice in his earlier post and did use some Detailer black wash on the grille.  Amazing effect, changes the look of the front end completely.  Will post a pic when I get the camera out again.
