Twokidsnosleep Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) editing the post due to photo bucket idiots...I am just going to stick in photos and ditch all my narrative bs Lotus T99 Diorama for Easter Egg Build I am doing a group April Easter build for Egg models on another site and thought I would share it here too Everyone else is doing Egg Planes, mostly by Hasegawa but I found something different Kit is a Fujimi non scale of the Lotus 99T...rescued from the jaws of my Berner Coco who stole the kit off my bench! I added some brass radiators,meshed vents, large flared polished aluminum pipes, a metal roll cage, side mirrors, a tail light, front and rear disks and some details on Arton Senna driver's helmet Diorama base out of an old CD. Added background photo, checkered skirting and brass pin to hold car on tight! Thanks for looking Cheers, Scott Edited August 15, 2017 by Twokidsnosleep evil photo bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twokidsnosleep Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks guys It was pretty fun, though more work than straight OOB like the egg plane versions seem to be The kit must have another life as an electric motor model; it has a battery box and large fins off the base/front wings that needed surgical removal Lots of extras to bring it out, but the devil is always in the details Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Thanks for sharing! I have this one, the McLaren and the Ferrari but have yet to build one. Good to hear your suggested corrections. Love the "egg" stuff! Great fun to build. Puts the happy back in modeling. Edited April 18, 2015 by Pete J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for looking, Pete I didn't know there were other versions of these....will have to check those out Did an outside sunshine pic Edited August 15, 2017 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks for looking, Pete I didn't know there were other versions of these....will have to check those out Did an outside sunshine Check out the second column. My mistake- It is a McLaren and Williams. There is a Ferrari, but I have never been able to get my hands on them. The Porsches and BMW at the top of the column are a different manufacture and are much smaller and look significantly different. This is the 635. Really different look.

Twokidsnosleep Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ahhh, you are killing me with all those Pete, what an awesome stash!! I love that GTO what manufacturer is that?? ME WANT!!! And the 956 Cool! I spent some time searching for the others, but not going to pay $45 on e bay for these kits as much as I like them There are some Japanese sites where you reserve the kit but I think they are either not in production or just coming out?? I will definitely keep my eyes open for the rest of the Grand Prix Q series Thanks for showing me this, I had no idea they existed Cheers, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Oh yeah, I found the Williams...coming on a slow boat from Japan HLJ to be precise Edited August 15, 2017 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 HLJ looks like they have the McLaren on backorder and the Ferrari is to be released next month. The photo is several months old. It is from when I was reorganizing my shop. I'll have to dig the GTO out an find the manufacture for you. Glad I am not the only one who likes this craziness.

Thank you, I apprectiate that coming from someone who takes simple builds to such high levels...your Fiat comes to mind!!! This is about as inventive as I get Edited April 26, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Great looking car and diorama idea! I've built 4 of the Egg Planes myself...the P-51, Corsair, and 2 P-47's. One of the P-47's was built for a friend to give as a birthday gift to a WWII P-47 pilot. He snuck it into a large display of WWII aircraft models the Vet had built and waited for the guy to notice it. He absolutely loved it!

They often are a little piece of sanity in the middle of a crazy detail build. They keep my enthusiasm up. Edited April 20, 2015 by Pete J.

Zarana-X Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Great work. I like weird stuff like this. As a teenager, I had a 65 Mustang like this, it was made by Bandai. I have the windows and wheels, I think I wrecked the rest, it was motorized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jason, it was a relatively quick and fun build I ordered a couple egg planes, P51 and P47, and another Williams F1 car for when I need a break again from harder builds I like those old Revell Dave Deal kits as well, but they are getting a little pricey and hard to find It does keep the mojo moving along doing something fun and simpler once in a while Edited April 29, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
