I do models all the time. But I have not had the pleasure of putting together a Thirdgen. The only one I can find is Kitt. And well I want the Iroc.

The two pictures of the model are in my driveway next to my house. I tried to get as close as possible and still keep the picture in focus. I used photoshop to crop the pictures and adjust the brightness. The picture of the real car is from the same angle in the same location on a bigger scale. Heres another picture of th real car.

If it weren't for the tail lights, I swear I thought that first pic was of a real car. Maybe If I'd looked closer, but still, thats what I initially thought. Nice job.

How Much? I paid $20 for mine unbuilt. But that was a good deal, usually they go for more. I,m not sure I'd pay much for a built one.
