You think i would return to miniatures / AFV, actually i spent one more week on same vehicle kit: mini cooper 1.3i (Rally ver) . How fast will you throw away your finished kit ? For me, since i don't have display cabinet, my finished kits just share the gaps in bookshelf, so
if it is tiny, i.e. minis, 90% will be displayed in bookshelf for next ten years;
if it is AFV (although 1/72 is tiny too, but i built too many), 90% will be stored in boxes;
if it is Sci-fi / vehicle / etc, 30% will treat like miniatures, 30% will keep in boxes, 30% will stay in bookshelf for a year, but there has 10% of unlucky one, the finished photos also its last photos...
Since result of mini cooper not up to my expectation, and i don't have next vehicle kit to expand collection, thus i plan to throw it away once finished. But my friend suggested to me that i could practice weathering on it, turn it into rally. So i dig out some remained spare decals from previous kits, do window masking, wash several times in sepia & black, etc. Now it could stay in bookshelf for months.
就這樣 2024 年第十七作 (累計上色成品第 三 七 一 號) 入櫃了。

I like this rally one more
previous one is too plain

thx mark2

civil car requires perfect finishes.
and i enjoy livery, weathering more than car brand, profile.

舊化靚仔，應該拿出街外拍幾張靚相啦！
