Well almost...still need to take her back apart to do a pearl clear coat but...thanks to Cavallino Models (They supplied the decals)...she looks much better!
See for yourselves...

nice work, now all u need to do is buy a 1:1 and put this inside keke

[gigdy]

omg very nice model, i like how you photographed it on the mini rocks.. how cute!

how many hours total did it take to compleate it?

Hmm... very nice, and very hours spent on it.

[360 Spyder]

Let's see...to answer the questions...
It is a 1:18 diecast 456M made by Mattel which I took apart, stripped, cut the roof out, filed the edges smooth, primed, sanded, primed, sanded, painted, sanded, painted, wet sanded, then detailed, and reassembled. I have not done the clear coats yet because it has been raining and I do not yet have any pearl clear.
So total time as of right now is about 5 hours work, but about a month total time. (Time for curing of the paint and other misc. stuff)
I chose white because I only had one other white 1:18 Ferrari in my collection and I like how it works/looks with the black interior.
The pic was taken in my driveway looking down the hill toward the road.

Thats some good work, I wonder how much you can sell it on ebay for. Looks very good, if you didn't say that was a model, people may think that picture is real.

nice work.......it looks very real....(at first i thought it was 1:1)
