Only a little bit more done but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Checking off the list as I go.Wheels, back bumper and some photo etch mainly today. 

Man its looking sharp! I love the wheels!

I am getting really close, just a few more details to create and add. Some of the more difficult photo-etch done today, including the wipers.

This was the most important detail added today.

Grill was the easiest of the photo-etch, hood letter and wipers were much more difficult.

Fantastic work.

Excellent work all round Donald. Very nice job on the wiring for the lights, that would have been tricky. The interior lights are a nice touch, as model interiors are often difficult to see. You obviously did a good job “shielding” the lights to eliminate the spread of “unwanted” light escaping. Loving all the detail work, things like the decal in the back window. 
 

Cheers, Steve

Thanks, where the LEDs attach I use electrical liquid tape. It does a great job of blocking out light leaks.

Man it looks great! I love the sticker on the back window. So cool!

 If you don't mind that I ask, how did you do that window sticker? I figured that if I printed a graphic that small on waterslide paper, it would be unrecognizable. What did you do?

It is a vectored image printed on water slide decal paper. Nothing special. The pinstriping is also vectored and printed on the same decal sheet.

Yeah, only way to do fine details at scale or thin stripes.
