Thanks Brian! Compliments are always welcome. I still have a few spots to touch up on the grille. It wasn't too hard to make, first I extended the grille by connect both ends with some styrene stripes, then welded pieces of styrene sheets between both ends and the styrene stripes underneath, filled up the gaps with putty, some 400 grit sandpaper for smoothing out the putty, then finish it up with primer and paint.
Update: Continue working on the Tundra from where I left off yesterday. Sand down the second layer of putty.
Seems to be smooth enough, but just to make sure, I sharpied the extension section, then sand it off, so I'll know where I need to apply more putty.
Then applied another layer of putty.
Repeated this steps a few time, spending a good few hours on applying putty and sanding it off, and this is how it came out.
Then I sand down the roof again and applied another layer of putty.

Update: Nothing much got done today, it's been a long busy day.
Have the roof smoothed out, and starting to touching up the body lines.
Now that the left side rear door is almost done, time to get to work on the right side.
Here's a little bonus.

Wow, I can't wait to see this one finished. What color are you thinking of painting it or are you not quite ready to pick a color?
