  1. Here is a project I finished earlier this spring. I found the proto pic online by accident. I had to have one!!HA
    The car is factory painted but I faded the paint with a few terra cotta colored washes, then the graffiti was hand painted with craft acrylics. The door is scratchbuilt from styrene. Hope you guys enjoy it. Steve
