Hello!

It's finally done. I was in some kind of a mini slump. So I used the opportunity to exercise the basics.
This is a 100% box stock / spray can build. No flocking, no wires, no aluminum tubing, no nothing else other than paint and glue. The only "modification" was cutting the wheel mounting studs so the car would sit lower. Stance is everything.
I have to admit I like it. Too bad I need to ship it back to the owner. :wink:
I had so much fun doing this curbside box stock that I will do 2 more before going back to my beloved detailed Corvettes.
I really recommend all of you to do this every once in a while.

As usual, your comments are appreciated.

Sorry for so many pics, I couldn't help it

Hi, I'm blue and here is Goldy, my evil twin brother:

You can see Goldy sits a hint lower.


Here you can see the difference in the hoods.



Curbside vs Full Engine detail.


Here are some "studio" shots:

Super builds Izzy....I'm sure the new owner will absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zoom Zoom]

Looks great 8)

Especially the stance :wink:

Too bad Ferrari doesn't realize that :roll:

[MrObsessive]

That is one gorgeous prancing horse Izzy!

Too bad you have to give it back to who wanted it. I'd be hard pressed to give something that nice away.

Can't you tell 'em you broke it on the floor or something, and you'll make another one??

Ismael,
Can you hear that????

The roaring crowd?

Yeah, you hit a home run!

I have to agree with you 100%, a box stock build is good for the modeling soul.

I hope your friend enjoys it! Thanks for sharing!

[Nick F40]

Wow, my two favorites, Ferrari and blue! 8)

Well done Izzy, I love it!

[acura99]

:shock: very good work my brother

[cruz]

Very nice as always but I would look for a good excuse to keep it man, listen to Bill Geary or just come up with something :shock:

[Tonioseven]

You've done such an excellent job on it that I think I want one now!

[Steve H.]

Beautiful build. I'm sure its hard to part with! I guess thats why I don't build commission work (that and nobody has asked me to! :shock: )

That blue fits the car very well, and the stance is great!

[Matt T.]

Beautiful again, Izzy! Very nice shade of blue - the new owner is going to absolutely love it.

Seeing the gold one again prompted me to just go buy that Revell 612 kit online. Inspiring!

Ismael, from any side you see the model, it's such a real nice build,..box stock!....but, anyway it's a nice build. Like the famous phrase says: "Back to the basics"

Te quedo bien conco...

That's sharp! Exotics aren't exactly my thing (although I have a Lambo Miura that may find it's way to the REAL soon). Very smooth paint, perfect stance. Very nice job Izzy!

Gang,

I'm pleasantly surprised to see such a good reaction to a box stock build of a subject that is not necessarily the most popular around. :wink:
Thanks a lot!

[ViperDave]

Nice models and a nice Ferrari Garage.

[bsoder]

Nice to see a Ferrari in something besides red ..those are both beautys...but that blue is just gorgous!!! ...B

[Jeff Johnston]

That is a sweet Ferrari Izzy. I had a Ferrari in my hand today but left is on trhe shelf. Now I am wishing it'd come home with me LOL
