Hi all :-)

Thank you, I really appreciate your comments. That helps me get going on this build.

This week I did a spot repair on the parts of the body where I sanded through last time. I'm happy that it turned out really good, so I could start installing the PE parts to the body and soon will be able to bring everything together :-)

That's all for this week's update. I hope that this was the second to last update for this build :-)

Hi all :)

Somehow I didn't manage to get as much done as I would have liked, but I only noticed when I wanted to finish the build, that there were still some parts that needed to be painted. Technically no big deal but as I didn't feel like using the airbrush for the last few days I always postponed it to the next day and the day after and...
But some progress could be acheived anyway, so I can show you the current standing of the build

That's all for today. I hope that my next update will be the last one in this W.I.P. :)

Looks like you’ve got the body work nailed.

Hi all :)

Thank you all for your kind comments :)

Yesterday was wedding day and today the last few parts could be attached to the body, so I'm calling this done :)

This is how it looked before the wedding ceremony

And here two pictures of the final result

More and better pics will follow in the Gallery section after I was at the studio for the next time.
Thank you all for your interest in this build and your comments and tips. I hope you'll join in on my next build which will start soon.

Excellent, your GT is a stunner. Nice and bright, just as a sports car should be!
