Jaguar XK8

I did this one about a year ago, as a gift for my dad, who's favourite car is the XK8. The only thing I am really at all disspointed about is the silver paint that got smudged on the right front tyre. I'm going to swab it up with thinner sooner or later. Thought I'd share it anyway.

BTW-here's a trick I did with the spoked wheels. originally they were cast in 'chrome' plastic, which looked terrible. So I drenched them in flat black, dried it, and then lightly brushed silver over the spokes, so it looks like it has depth.
