This has been a fun build - even though encountered a few problems along the way. For one, the steering gearbox was finally built 5 times! The steering rod and other mechanisms were using copper tubes. So, here it is - finally completed.

The result is breathtaking. The patina and wear on the paint looks real. In fact, properly staged with the right background, the trick would be completely convincing, no AI required. This is modeling at a whole other level. Congratulations!

My pleasure, I have found your work pretty humbling. In fact, humble is a pretty appropriate posture for me to take when I see the broad spectrum of work on this site. I have decided to work my way through the "completed models" posts a little at a time. A lot of inspiration there.
