That's looking neat! I always like some bass 'flake for accent. What's your plan for stance? Try some Bare Metal Foil on that trim - you'll like it.
I Googled your camera name and it looks like it's got a fixed-focus lens and no Macro setting (needed for model car close-up shots).
Try moving back a little from the car when shooting it. Notice how the Gojo, bench grinder and parts box in the background are focused nicely. Also, maybe a solid color background like white or gray would help the camera know what to focus on. Hope this helps.

I have a Sony DSC-W70 that we really like. It's got a dial with a bunch of pre-sets (portrait, snow scene, seaside, etc) with a brief onscreen desription of each mode when you select it. My wife likes that feature. It's small too, like a stack of 12 credit cards. I've also seen good photos from Fuji & Canon digicams. Just make sure it's got a Macro setting. That way you can take pix of your models and your Mom can switch that off and take her portraits & landscapes too.
