Waiting for the paints and such to come in so I'm stuck doing busy/detail work 'til then. The shoulder belts were a bastard, but seeing it all finished is super rewarding.

yeah, I'm pretty sure your previous worries about building the car are moot, this looks great!

I must inquire, how much was this kit?

Also, loving the progress!

Well, it was a birthday gift. It probably set my Dad back around $200 with shipping/tax depending on where he got it.

On the Tamiya site, it's listed as $170 I think. But when you go to checkout, it's listed as $213 before shipping.

Thanks, man.

Although I can't take all the credit. The belts were all perforated cloth stickers, so all I really had to do was thread the ends through the belt holes. Which I guess is itself worthy of praise... keep it coming ;).

Sorry for crushing your hopes and dreams.

I feel like an unwanted pregnancy.

I love this.

Dang, I might just have to pull out my model kits now. In additional to a bunch of unopened Tamiya kits, I've got a half-completed 930 Turbo that I last worked on during the Colts-Bears Super Bowl. The passage of time means I may need one of those flexible arm magnifying glass/light things now, though.

Thanks.

I apologize in advance to your family and boss for encouraging your delinquency.
