Default MINI ME!

Wasn't sure where to post this, but it is a S197 that I am working on (1/16 scale). Picked it up at Toys'R Us for $20 and it will eventually have alot of the details that I have on my car.
My car:


As I bought it:


1st mod was removing the ricer decals:


2nd mod was to paint the slots on the wheels black:


3rd mod-disassemble:





Next was sanding the body:


In the paint booth:


Shortened and painted rear spoiler flat black:



Even painted rear view mirrors to look like the midwestautogear inserts that I have:


I will be updating as I get things done to it through the winter months.

Boring snowy day here in Cincy. After 3 coats of clear and some very careful re-assembly this is what I have got so far:



I know mine's not a GT, but I don't think I would be able to find a tri-bar pony decal this small:

Painted the fog lights in the grille to make it resemble a V6 better:
