[@StaticModel]

Almost reminds me one of those channels with fake restoration, when guy breaks models in convenient way for restoration (just scratches paint and throws some dirt on it :D ), but in this case there is actually lots of modeling skill involved, good job! That's sad, when channel like this has so little subs, and fake ones have over 200k... :)

[@JHHobby]

Hahaha true man..fake restorations channel is getting more out there and yeah they all got notice more 🙁 glad you like my build and thank you!

You've made a static display piece which is fine, we're not children who play brum brums with these models. Great work all round making vast improvements. Some of the best mods and resto on KZbin. 10/10

other than the brake calipers being in the wrong position, this model car transformation is amazing.

[@RedLP5000S]

I found this very informative. Thank you for giving us the step by step tutorial. Your work looks better than anything that AutoArt could produce. One thing that would have pushed it over the top would be to use some flocking in the interior. Overall, I give this an A+!

12:29 why? What is the reason for do this? I want to learn.

[@90abcde5]

its wet sanding. after clear coat is applied, you sand down the clear coat and repolish it for a shinier look. I believe water is there to lubricate it just so you don't burn through the paint. sanding also gets rid of the orange peel effect.

[@JHHobby]

Thanks for answering😁😁
