finished: The Mini
Now that the big UCP Mini is finished and will be traded tomorrow, I finally managed to complete the small one last night. Two poor pics, will try to make a few more later.

I started in April, got it almost finished before going on an extended business trip in early may and then spent this week to finish it. Calculated in hours it should be around 25-30

Does it leave a puddle of oil on the display stand ?
Pics aren't big enough to show if you've got the bubbling paintwork on the wings and doors

What the hell is that?
You need to get serious if you wanna start getting your car kitted out.
Don't try something stupid like a Mini. Think big, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or Audi TT.
Ya gotta start gettin real if ya wanna impress.
