Anthony,

wow, another brilliant piece. As I don't know the kit - but it looks like you've added a whole lot of things (suspension, cables, bolts, etc.), in a word: perfect!
Cheers,
Roman

Kit and from the box was good detailed - engine, suspension, trunk with spare wheel (wich i did not show). I added small things - bolts, cables, brake lines. Front suspension i just made little bit lower.

Thanks a lot for your photos, really nice pieces.
Can you explain the subtle weathering on the underside and engine bay? color base, enamels, oils...? look great.
Thanks

Great job on the v-dub! If you ever consider offering those wheels for sale I would be interested.

Bottom - Lp-3 main black -> x-11 enamel for dry brush -> LP-24 Semi Gloss -> wash MIG P220 -> LP-24 Semi Gloss
On gear box just dry brush.
Engine - wash with x-19 and dry brush.

For dry brush and wash is better to use enamel paints. For base - lacquer paints

Thanks a lot for your tips, I'll have to try the Lacquer tamiya paints to test. Thanks again !
