The man who never failed never actually tried! At least you have the guts to put yourself out there and do all your work in the full glare of the public eye. That's not easy! Big respect for that! For what it's worth, I like it. Yes, the wheel colour is an issue and maybe it needed a contrasting colour on the shell but it's still a great looking buggy. Keep it up!

I sit and stare at them for ages too. Once I paint them I then sit decals on it or use a little masking to hold them in place so I know they are in the right place. You know what, this is the first shell you have done I am not sure about. I may have to screen shot it and look at it for a while. My initial thought is the shell should have two colours but I agree, the wheels throw me off too. I have seen you change the look of before with a simple wheel change and it transforms. The way you fitted the stipes is awesome and look perfectly placed. The angled Optima at the front throws me a bit, I would have a decal so you see it straight from the front. I am always about lines though, just the way I am. I am no shell artists myself so I don't really have any ground to criticize but just my thoughts as requested 👍🏼

As soon as I saw the shell on there I thought the wheels need to go.

I do think think the white wheels on there would tie it all together much better. I know it is a disappointment about the wheels but I think they gotta go to make it all work. Maybe you can strip the gold off of them and run them on something else as the raw aluminum??

Hi Glenn I love the colours. Im saving up for one of these and have already decided on the colour scheme when I get round to building it. Mine will be white and gold but will stick with the white wheels. I think maybe a splash of a another colour or to could bring it alive. E.g the numbers in black to match the tyres.

I think you hit the nail on the head at the beginning of the vid when you said having the body clear would be cool for displaying, I would do that and then have the body you have made hanging on the back of the display cabinet above the chassis with a clear body on the car.. Or have the chassis tilted at and angle with the body tilted at the same angle just above it to the side?

Should have gone solid black on the body, then it would have popped better with the gold. Just my opinion, still a great looking buggy mate!

Not a fail IMO as I do quite like it as it is. I do totally get your point about the different golds. I think it would look better with some black decals to break up the gold a bit. The window nets and side vents are not working in the gold for me so I’d have to change those to the kit decals (including the rear window louvres). With some additional black decals I think then you get away a bit better with the gold wheels but I think black wheels could look better so you could dye the originals? 😮

Great idea but the 3 shades of gold did pull it down. But the white wheel idea sounds like it'll work. Maybe use white plastidip paint? That way, if it doesn't work, you can just peel it off! Great effort as always!

The black turbo optima nose strip and the black 210 numbers. Some of the turbo optima writing in black would also go on. I would be tempted to get a new set of gold turbo optima mid decals with the black outline still in place. As a finishing touch see if you could get the black turbo optima wheels and redo the tyre writing in gold. Still nice to see something other than box art on that awesome chassis.

I kinda like it if you ask. But I understand that if you had an image in your head and then the result is not like that image or close... you don't like it. But, in mistake lies opportunity sometimes. Maybe you can build another special unit using the bodyshell as base for the rest. And for the chassis, a new bodyshell with a color scheme that fits you better. I know it may be too much but... 2 super special units with the magic Glenn touch... Sounds great don't you think🤔🤔

White wheels for the win! ...With the gold wheel nuts.

Hi Glenn, definitely not a fail. I’d go with your original idea of using some black decals. Maybe some line tape around the windows and some of the body features.

Car looks great Glenn. I think white wheels would be better. Just grab some white wheels off another car and stick them on to get an idea of what it would look like and if the white works order some tyres for the white kit wheels and just keep the gold wheels with tyres for a future build. I think those Gold wheels would look awesome on another car with a black body.
