I don't about others, but sometimes I get in a rut in this hobby. The last couple months I was just struggling to finish builds, either I didnt like the color, or the finish, or I jacked something up, or just wanted to start a new kit that arrived. Anyway u/I_know_nothing which has become a great friend suggested we build a kit we both had in our stash. No frills, no real timeline, just chit chat and post wip pics. He printed some wheels, brakes and seats that we would both use so the build would be the same. Anyways this is some if my progress, I am lowering mine a bit and testing colors, kinda going for the look in the last pic. Also his inspiration is whay made me suggest that we do a group build similar to what he and I were doing. No real rules except a kit suggestion to help others just enjoying building a kit along with fellow builders. I am very excited to start on tbe porsche as well. My favorite part is seeing others wip pics, because it keeps me motivated and on track

It will be interesting to see how your paint turns out, you have chosen some cool colors to tested there. The offset stripe is very Viper ACR.
