Well Sean, the only thing that I found funny was the fact that someone has given the Skyline the 'beans' and the contents of the cylinder block have fallen out!
Seriously, that is one fine looking car. It looks like the windows are tinted, is that your work or do they come like that (or is it my eyes!) Tamiya kit I take it?

Well been plugging away with this one to get it finished for the Automodellismo at Donington this weekend , well I did this mainly OOB with a few bits added mainly new tow hooks and new grill as the kit one was a decal that was impossible to get on the car , the car itself was painted with various shades of black and Tamiya X8 For the bodywork , The interior was done in Humbrol polished aluminium metalcote and is taking to the end of the world and all eternity to dry , I reckon in a 1000 years time this paint still wouldn't have dried .
I gave this car a very light weathering as the real ones seem to not get very dirty as when they pull into the pits about 3 million people surround it and clean it , including those guys you get at traffic lights and clean the windscreen , one major error I made well apart from making a total mess of the car was to glue it all together before I cleaned the inside of the glass
