I'm not really a car person but you've duplicated the original shape brilliantly! Good job.

Aston Martin is one of those car companies that manages to keep a majestic look for all their cars no matter the years. You have managed to recreate this one to be believable and for that, I salute ye. An amazing job!

This looks fantastic… except for the front end/fenders. It looks rather unfinished. Have you considered using the wheel arches from the set here? (Instead if at the trunk)

Thank you! :) Yes, the front will be updated later for sure... About the front fenders: I felt like they are too big to put them there. They are just so big, the overall shape would have been compromised.

Whit parts You had, really good replication.

Anyway, if somebody would not recognise in that model aston martin, it would be good looking sports car.
