I just got this one done today. I started on it on Thursday, messed with it a little, then got down to business and got it wrapped up today, with most of yesterday afternoon/evening and most of today spent on decals! Thanks for looking gentlemen!

The one of the motor is pretty bright so you can see detail.

I've had that feeling too... Somone built a 1/12 Camaro on Scale Auto's forum. A person sent the pic to a Camaro collecter... He said they had their checkbook out it was so real!
Eizzle, great work. those decals look like they kept ya busy! You know, maybe I'm just weird, but Mercedes just look wierd as race cars...

Hey, nothing wrong with being weird, cause I am really good at it Big Smile [:D] Thanks for the positive comments guys. I wouldn't mind taking one of these cars for a quick lap, but I think I would be to scared to do much for a few laps in it!

The decals took me about as long as the build did! I started them yesterday around 3ish, went to bed at 1 after working on them fairly steady, then started on them again this morning around 8 and worked pretty steady and got them done about 4! yeah, they took a minute Wink [;)]

Very nice.

I would have probably ripped my hair out after the first set of D2 decals, followed by a number two pencil to my left retina.

Very impressive work!
