Default My attempt to replicate my GS with diecast

There have been a few posts about modding diecasts or trying to replicate the GS which people own. I bought one a few years ago with the intent of having a professional airbrush it to look like mine. But I decided to give it a try on my own so here is my attempt to replicate my GS. I am not quite done yet but it has been fun and I can use it as part of my display at shows when I am done.

Actually the doors were designed to open and close. I just bent them upwards.

I actually have them in my cell phone but if I gave them out she would kill me. Now we can't have that can we?

LOL... Thanks for the compliments on the kitchen cabinets man. They were all custom built for us. I tell you they treat you like a king if you spend $400K in Alabama. I will relay your compliment to my wife she picked out the design.
