Other than looking too short, I think it looks pretty good. I'd check fitment of the wheel between his hand(s).
Using the standard Greenlight figure, I know you're unable to raise arms.

Much better! The first one looks too small to me. I don't do figures, so my advice is not worth much.

Yes! The second figure is much better! Remember that Justin Wilson was on the tall side.

I know this paint job like the back of my hand. I've done it so many times. Time for some more work on the driver.  |

Good work, Juan. I moved the posts like you asked (sorry for the delay). This JWil win was the last time I was at TMS. My wife got me and my bro-in-law suite tickets and Stu Boyle from the forum had a pit pass that night IIRC. Good memories!

Looking great. You have come a long way and you are a credit to those who learn fast and speed away. Your paint lines are looking great. This will be an awesome piece to your collection.

If you've made several attempts on your paint job, then it paid off! The separation between red and white looks so smooth it belies the scale!
Really nice work!

Looks great Juan.
On my JW figure helmet I used acrylic paints. After it dried I sprayed on a heavy coat of Testors clear coat and just let it sit. The clear reacts witht he paint and gave it that faded/blended in look to the colors.
Car is looking super and very sweet looking paint work.

Well done, looks very clean. Are the #18s correct? They look off to me for some reason.

A good model makes for a good photo. A great model with a great background makes for an excellent photo!
Your photo (and model) fall into the "Excellent" category!

Thanks fellas. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. Happy with my second ever driver figure too. Chris in my eyes the 18's look right. They could be wrong idk lol. Frank I've been going to the parking garage at work to snap my finished builds. Idk why I never thought to do it before. I appreciate the compliments.  |

Wow! The Aston photo looks like a painting! So much drama in the sky, and the contrast of the car...kind of expect to see some crew members standing by with rain tires.
The only thing I see with the numbers on the Indy Car is a little distortion from the lens on the last photo, on the rear wing. They look right in the photos.

Here's the photo that made me double-check and ask the question. In the end, as long as your happy with the car, that's all that matters.  |

Love the Texas winner, it is a great tribute. JD's 007 Aston looks killer, great filter on the pic to highlight the great work you did.
