That's astounding how tiny it is! I can barely fumble on water slides, much less tiny chrome badges

That's just amazing. It's going to be hard to tell the difference between this car and the 1:1 by the time you're finished. If people took more time on their projects instead of slapping things together, they'd have something epic like this.

Thanks guys!

Update: This project is finally coming to the end, I painted the rear light house silver, and painted the rear wiper and front grill black, then I started to re-install all the detail parts...

Thank you very much guys!

@ XMDrifter - For the CF decal, I just lay it down on the object's surface using water, then press the decal down to take take out all the water, then I applied a few coats of clear coat on it.

ah, i see. have you considered decal fluid though? it kinda softens the decal so it comforms nearly perfectly too the surface. a lot less hassle than cutting the decal and trying to get it to wrap all the way around

how about some crazy modeler etched brake discs? the ones that are a complete and utter pain to bend the 30 some vent vins and fit into the disk halves and are like, 6 parts for each brake disc?

@ XMDrifter - I saw those crazy modeler dis brake, the details on them are amazing! But I don't plan on getting them for this project since I already have the Kyosho brake rotor installed.

Update: Most details are re-installed back to the body, now its time for some clear coats and then polish.
