hey everyone

I just finished off another collaboration project with my son, the Revell BMW i-8 with a custom body kit and new wheels.

Like with the Porsche, he chose all the colours and he insisted on having a body kit, so we drew some up and did it the old fashioned way by making it out of styrene. No fancy 3D printer here....

I think it came out really cool and it looks quite awesome in that Hell Mango Green. I also like the blackened out front grill - that looks much more menacing than the chromed up version.

Wheels came from an Alpha Model Ferrari 812 and they really look good on the i8.

Overall, it was a fun project. The best fun was getting my son to choose everything and spending that time connecting with him. Our next project is a Ducati 1199. That'll be interesting as I have only ever built 3 bikes in 30+ years

Anyways, thanks for stopping in and having a look

Beautiful looking body work and paint. Like the detailed panel lines as well as the wheel and tires setup.
