    Interesting...I'm completely unfamiliar w/ TOTPOTA, but your custom looks just like that picture, (minus the pipe).

    I'm sure it'll seem very picky, but maybe the hands should have been painted the same color as the face? I think it would just make it all flow together nicer...

    That's what I'd do, otherwise spot on

    I agree about the hands. And I might put a coat of tan paint on the pipe. As said though, thats nit picking. It looks great. Is that a custom head or a modified one?
    you're really inspiring me to get my 1:6 versions going!
    Bugler, sound the advance.
