[merkit the grof]

Thanks guys
Well, at a guess I could get used to pushing pixels, but the temptation to get it just perfect would be enormous, and I would tinker with the shape until...
This way, the body is a one off, it is what it is, I am aware of all it's flaws, but it will never be "corrected". And after a day at the keyboard, doing it this way is quite relaxing (most of the time). 
Here are a few more pictures of the work in progress.
Rear spoiler and roof doodah, this is the first version, I did a second one which is a little better.
   
I tried to cut the rear slats but the plastic is very brittle and just collapsed.
   
I instead cut out the whole area and inserted a plasticard piece.
   
This is what it looks like from the inside (the blue bits are what is left of the original roof.
    .
As I said earlier, very complex model, every surface has added detail, intakes, winglets and bits (and I left some out).
I also had to shorten the wheelbase and the tail of the car but the nose had to be lengthened!
I just need to glue the driver in there and find a suitable windscreen wiper.

Still, the "Gulf like" colour scheme is really nice, I just hope is goes reasonably well.
