Did you finish your Name Game build already dude?  That thing looks KILLER - that paint in particular is gorgeous! What color is that? I love the flake in it - and the wheels and tyres look great on there too! Nice build! |

Pretty sure that was Bombastik Blue in a Roth Flake Rattle-Bomb. 2K clear on top of it all.
Lots of sanding and reshaping done to the tail of that kit - the body had a pretty ugly, squarish whale tail spoiler worked into it.

Thanks, guys! A "Jetsons boulevard cruiser" look was the goal more than the "future gentleman's race car" vibe that the original had. The bumpers and such were left off to simplify the form a bit - like a 1/25 scale Hot Wheels car, right?

@funnybug,
I think they were some kind of flat-spoke aluminum wheel, but yeah, the car originally had a lot of wood applied to the interior and exterior.
