I've been away from the hobby for a bit as life just got super busy, so I decided to wade back into the shallow end of the pool before diving into more major builds. I had a tired Bburago Bugatti Type 59 that I couldn't make up my mind what do with - I've always loved the car, but not crazy about the tall fenders on this version. Thus, I decided to take the fenders off, and give the body a more weathered and raced look with lots of Tamiya Panel Line Accent black. I also hit the seat with Tamiya red, and various other paints and finishes to add a bit of realism. Finally, a silver marker and Molotow chrome pen were used for details. Overall, the model came out beautiful - far better than the photos I managed to take. The weakest link in the whole project was the spoke wheels, which are not really fine enough for this scale, but overall I am very pleased.
