Hi,

The body is clear coated and the window frames are black colored.Needs some detail work to get the edges sharp.
At the moment i work on the other BBS rim version to get it ready for casting.

Thanks Christian

PS: Sadly all my old picture are gone.I used the german arcor provider and they moved to vodafone.They deleted all external links and so the pics are gone.
I will grab some time and re link all the gallery picture.The wip threads are too much work to made it all new.The pics form the wip threads are also on my website.
So many thanks to vodafone for that ****!

The grill and the headlights are made with the Molotow markers.
They are really great.
