I already thought about this.
But the idea of having to design the model with an interior...
well, it just wouldn't work.
Makes the model too complicated and too many parts.

But, it would be nice to pose the model that way.
I considered colouring the door with a black marker
and printing a second body part, to create an open door.

But, I quickly moved on to the next model and forgot all about it.
What Spycar?

I told Dave that I would have to sit this one out due to other commitments, but this is such a pretty automobile that I couldn't resist trying to put it together before starting the day's writing tasks.

Very clear instructions, no issues other than my own lack of skill and the lines that the furshlugginer Epson XP-640 printer scribed across the surface of the model.

I colored the inside rear of the model light blue. I may print another set of wheels to cover the insides of same.

Well, except for your printer issues, you did a mighty fine job of assembly.

I was worried that this was a difficult model to assemble because of its size.
Those front fenders and small glue tabs are a magnifier challenge.
I was seriously considering giving this an "Advanced" skill rating but I chose to go with "Medium".
Looks like that was the right choice...or, are you just that good Don?!

[Don Boose]

Thanks, Dave. I would say I am a "Medium Minus."

So? anyone else gonna tackle the SpyCar?

Or, is someone already working on it? and gonna post it soon?

I'd love to see another one posted before I reveal the next KoolWheelz model tomorrow.

Well, I have been under the weather, so I printed and scored, but haven't edged, yet. Might be done tonight, but it might not. I think the printing a square of blue on the back will work. It looks good so far during the pre-shaping. I also did little gray squares for behind the tires, which would handle the white Don mentioned. Although, most people would never see it

EDIT -- Rats! I should have done the inner tread ring, too. Blast it

Dave, I'll build it today or tomorrow. Maybe at a bigger scale.
