Demerovingian Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 On the bench is my first "Full" build 1/12 Tamiya Ferrari 312T. Very challenging, but a lot of fun. I decided to pull some real photos and try to customize it by adding as many electrical wires and connectors as possible (with my amateur skill) to make it look as real as possible. I also decided to make my own racing seat belt harness but using cloth surgical tape and folding it and painting it. I found some parts to make it also look as real as possible, but still working on it. Hope you guys like the detail.
Crazy Ed Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 You could have started and fininshed with the engine closeup! So like Brian said, "WOW"!
66belair Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 The engine itself is a work of art! I would love to try one of these kits but I am intimidated by how much goes into one of these things. Awesome work!
Demerovingian Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 I wanted to make this look as real as possible, and they don't come with racing harness, wires etc...( Found one on ebay...but $120.00..anhhhh) So I decided to make my own racing harness out of spare model parts and...yes surgical tape! Here is the progress

kforbus Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I love it. The engine looks awesome. Nice work on the harnesses as well.
nickfzr61 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 That build is coming out very nice. That's the next kit I'm building. Can't wait to see more.
Belugawrx Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Looking Great Christopher Keep 'er going Cheers
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Third time WOW for that engine detailGreat build, and I am going to use that medical tape trick as wellLove these cars, more of a Gilles Villenuve fan myself though You should put this into the "big Boys" section so it doesn't get lost
mrm Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Very nice. You just may want to adjust the title, as this is Niki's car from 1975.
