For fun, I picked up a bright red & beige Maisto die-cast on Ebay for the princely sum of $3.99....
Took it to pieces and completely repainted it to more closely match my 2003 XKR and added a few minor details. It's not perfect, but will sit on the credenza in my office over the winter, and remind me of the summer months to come!

[quote=Ggg;441459]Neat. I bet taking it apart was more difficult than working on the real thing.
You're correct - taking it to pieces was initially a challenge; perhaps I should do post a video Rev Sam style!)
I used an aerosol (had to get the paint specially mixed - couldn't find Quartz available 'off the shelf' anywhere). I got some extra in case the real car ever needs a touch up...
I've made models of several of the cars I've owned, though model aircraft are my normal subject....
