Thanks for comments, people.

Thanks Janusz. I hope I'll be able to keep it like this until the end

Thanks pedro. I'm glad you like.

Thanks tiberius. I agree with you, the yellow is pretty ugly. I think the car looks better with warmer tones like red and orange I used.

Thanks Erik_S. When I said "all parts still WIP", I meant every parts on the rear, not the whole car. I think I'm done with the front and sides.

Thanks Gillou. Especially for the refpic. You're right about the stuff on the car, like headlights or door handles or side mirrors or... But I think I'm just wrong with the rear fenders, as the shape of the car didn't change that much in the 60's. I'll double check it. By the way, have you other good refpic like the one you posted ?

Thanks Butch. You're right, maybe the blueprints is off, because blueprints are usually off. That's the reason I never trust prints for the dimenstions of the car. I used tech specs available on the internet (for example : 1964 Marcos 1800 GT technical specifications - Carfolio.com car specifications pages or 1966 Marcos 1800 GT) Have a look to my blueprint setup tutorial on my website. Setting it up that way put it to correct dimension, by stretching the print if needed. But the picture you posted is slighty taken from above, so the perspective add a bit of height.

No update so far except for a bigger and cleaner render. Stay tuned
