Cheers gents.

After giving more thought to the issue I have decided not to open the moon roof. I want to leave the roof intact to highlight the decals. Instead, I have opened the front windows, hoping this will provide a good view of the interior.

Nice decaling Cole. How did they lay down?

Cheers Al. As large as the decals are, they laid down and conformed quite well. I did have a problem with the demon on the roof. One of the horns separated, but went back together nicely.

A great artistic piece of decaling.

Nice decal work.

Beautiful! Looking forward to the development.

Thanks everyone.

I decided not to go all in on the decals because I didn't want the decals extending on to the windows. So this is what it will now look like. I've re-polished the paint and decal edges. Now for another clear coat and final polishing. Also, the glass is ready to be painted in gloss black for the front and rear window edges and smoke grey for the rear windows.

Looks amazing Cole, will be a fantastic display model.

Continuing with the anime gangster theme for the wheels.

Brilliant Cole

Nice wheels. Did you color them or is it just the lighting in the picture?

Truly this is a rolling art display. The decal work is just amazing and the wheels look fantastic.

Thanks everyone.

Mike; The wheels were originally chrome. I painted directly over them with Mr. Metallic Color GX102 Deep Clear Red. I really like the finish it produced. I'm thinking of using it to try and create a candy apple red on a model of a '49 Mercury Coupe.

one hell of a decalling job!....i dont envy you at all

A beautiful job overspraying the chrome wheels.

The underside is finished. Now for the interior.

Very nice underside detail.

those wheels absolutely pop against the paint and the decals are outrageous very nice work liking this one very much

Great work Cole, the wheels look brilliant.

Great work on the undercarriage and waiting in anticipation of seeing the interior develop.

In keeping with the gangster theme, the interior will be rather loud. This is the basic scheme, so now I'll get to work on the dash and console.

Nice.

Wow.... the interior is indeed loud. So loud I can hear it from here. LOL

Nice work on the seat masking Cole.

Cheers Mike and Al.

In the same vein, the carpet has been installed, with some sparkle to boot.

Very striking Cole.
