      Attention to detail is amazing. Especially the dashboard clocks and the chrome on the engine.

      Great work!

              Thanks!!!! Being a larger scale its little easier to work on. The gauges are just printed out and glued to the back of the dash. then I use a 5 sec UV glue to make the lens.

                Finally got my parts car decals in the mail and installed. Took forever. I made sure these decals didn't shatter by applying decal restorer which essentially makes them new again and you can move them with no worries.










                By far the most difficult one I've done. The process of applying the decals took about 4 hours over the span of 2 days allowing them to dry and cure to the model before applying the clear and doubling the layers since some decals went over each other.

                    I used to do it when i was younger with my dad a little bit but just recently got back into it. These latest models are really the only ones I've done with decals but they weren't the easiest ones to do.

                        The decals i used it in were original tamiya just in better shape. They were stamped 1998 i just used thicker coat so if i had to guess there is not age limit just use thicker coats for the older ones. It really is good stuff Gonna use it on all the decals i get from now on unless its a brand new kit.

                            So last week i was on ebay and a guy posted a Tamiya jagermiester e21 320i gr. 5 for like 20 bucks because it was missing the box but all parts were there I didnt plan in buying any models for a while but consider how cheap it was compared to others posted i said what the hell. When I got it and started on it. I didn't like that for the m12/3 it had it was all silver which wasn't how it was. So I went to google and color matched it my self.





                            I still thought it could use something so i added some injection lines
