Talking my first model attempt in years (old skool widebody rx7)

ok, well i havnt modeled since i was like 6....with my dad (a really good train moddeler) but then they divorced so i havnt done a model in a good 10 years, so when i was this on www.trademe.co.nz for 20 bucks i had to have it, coz i just love these cars!

anyways, about the model....it has a total of 8 coats of paint (9 if you count primer) 3 of gun metal metallic, 2 of silver flake, and 3 coats of clear. its a 1/24 scale fujimi kit

so im a bit rusty, a few bits of dust ended up in the paint, but i will prolly cut that out with 5000 grit and cutting paste (which are readily avalible to me) theres a closeup of the finish, taken with a webcam, so it kinda defeated the purposeof a closeup, but you can still see the metallic glitter effect.

all painted with tamiya aerosols and tamiya enamel pots.

tell me what ya think (i know im quite rusty)

ps-i just put it on my xbox for braggin rights
