finished this one up a little bit ago, the glue on the windows may not be fully dry yet ;)

#55 Perrier Monte Carlo of Jean Girard from the movie Talladega Nights.  really stupid movie but the character of Jean Girard is so over the top and so well played by Sascha Baron Cohen that i felt compelled to do this build.

it's a 2001 Revellogram Monte Carlo kit (shoulda been 2005, didn't realize the differences until after i already had the 2001 in hand), Tamiya Park Green paint and decals from 3 Amigos.  soooooo much layering to do with these, i will reconsider any future builds that take this much work.  i just don't have the patience for it.

before we get to the model, here are some Girard pics and a mini-biography.
























this is the most basic, straight-out-of-the-box build i have done in years.  not a single modification to the kit, stance is box stock, etc.  just a couple of extra decals that weren't on the sheet.


since this is a fictitious driver, can i enter it in Fantasy Cup next year? ;D
