Obsessed? Moi?

After weeks of inaction, mostly due to my own laziness, I finally got off my arse and started work on my second E30 shell. It's about 70% complete, I still need to tidy up the wheel arches (I've put a layer of Duck tape around the inner arches and bumpers for protection). I've trimmed the front for both fog lights and amber markers, and the rear cluster is a mix of Transclucent red and Smoke, I'm really happy with how it turned out! It's almost black until the light shines through it as you can (kind of ) see in the pics below. I trimmed a M3 badge from a Micro RS4 (my 1st RC M3! I knew there was a reason to hang on to all the old decal sheets!)

I also need to add the finer detail such as lights, decals, seat, cage, brake disks. I may even go the whole hog and add a N20 purge like these crazy bastards. Lekker!

Some things didn't go quite to plan though. I'm not 100% happy with the grille, last time I hand painted the grill with silver paint, this time I used some latex liquid mask and Alclad II Chrome paint. Unfortunately the flaky paint and sticky latex make it very tough to get the right look, i'll probably have to try again with masking tape. The rear wheels don't look right, but I'm hoping the adjustable arms from Tower should add some camber when they arrive. The spoiler and mirrors have finished up as a matte inish, I'll have to overcoat them with gloss to get them to match.

Some of the thimbnails are not working, but clicking on them will still bring up the correct photos, imageshack is playing up on me...
