That looks awesome, kpnuts. Which paints did you use for the car body? Looks like you've achieved a really nice gloss finish (I used to have a Mark II Escort that colour...)

That's very nice Ken! I like the colour as it's a bit different & you fitted the headlights much better than I did - mine took a lot of cursing ;)

Nice work Ken, nice work on the decanting and spray work. Looks great, are you putting it into a setting?

Thanks Patrick and Si I was going to put it on the dash of my car but as has been pointed out after a hot sunny day sitting there it probably wouldn't look like a car any more let alone looking like mine, so don't know yet probably but if I do you know me it won't be normal, maybe space oriented?

Thanks moni and peter if I do weather it I'm not sure what to do with it as in the back of my mind I have it on some alien planet all very colourful not worked it out yet, maybe even a liquid covered planet with some sort of florescent coloured liquid.

Excellent looking build but one criticism - in the spirit of the criticism thread... nothing to do with the build but the background you used has a yellowish tinge - it would probably look better with a white or other colour background and even place it on a white board.

Thanks Neil noted for future use but I'm sure people have seen enough pics of this model for now.

Great looking fiesta and I think it would look ace on your dash and if you remember to take it out for the two hot days in June July and August then melting shouldn't be an issue

I agree Neil, I think it would look better too and shows off more detail on the model:
