Finshed the MP4-20 test car.

Big mention to James at El Oso for providing the decals.

Cheers,
Andy.

Here's the full family shots.

I know Revell kits sometimes get a hammering but for around a tenner they turn out okay.

Nice one! ahh... nice four!

Pictures are too big though, try to keep them no wider than about 800 pixels so all of us can view them easily. Cheers.

Andy, nice job mate - Im not a collector of 1:24 and stick to 1:20 for my F1 cars but these look really great, as for the pics,
if you use a digi camera look for the option that allows you to take close up shots, on my cheap and cheerful
Sony P92 it has whats called a 'macro' setting and means you can get closer while keeping everything in focus. If you look at
the back of your main pic you can see that the paint jars are more in focus than your models, the macro option would clear this.
If you dont have this option on your camera just trying moving a little further away from them.
As for the width then the max I go to is 600 pixels. Hope that helps a little.

The cars look great but with a little better quality pics Im sure they would look stunning.

Looks like a good job.You might want to spray the tires/wheels with a dullcoat
varnish to get rid of the shine.It would look more realistic.I am currently working
on the Revell MP4/20 and F2005 kits using the Studio 27 photoetch.These Revell
kits are not that bad anymore.Like we keep saying,the post Toyota TF102
Revell kits are getting pretty good.Lets not forget,the Studio 27,Red 5 ect.ect. kits are also very far from perfect for 8 times the price !!Keep up the good work.
