hobbybobby Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I've been started a long time with this Project, and I would like to show you the construction path again. I cobbled together several bodies, that were deformed or partially useable... ... for exemple, from this one I cut the tail off ... from others the widenings, the tail wing comes from the Ferrari F50, and then comes filling, sanding, again and again, the roof is extended, or better said: a new roof manufactured, because it previously had none... ... and that's how it looks... Hope, you like it. Edited April 11, 2018 by hobbybobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) That's crazy, I like it! Needs some super deep turbine-style wheels and wild paint Edited March 3, 2018 by Spex84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Looks like a modern interpretation of a Greenwood Corvette. Or maybe the Ferrari Breadvan was you inspiration? Regardless I like it. Edited March 3, 2018 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurfalien Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Hi, This is very very very very coooool. Love it! Great body work, looks like a bunch of work already. The problem now is picking a wild, awesome engine to match. Might I suggest this; Edited March 3, 2018 by aurfalien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Different and interesting! Is that the top from the Revell '68 roadster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, unfortunately it does not matter with the engine, I stuck the hood to the body to form a smoother shape, the cap on the hood is made of full polystyrene plates and putty, so the engine would have no place anyway...

Unfortunately, I can not tell you that, I have a large arsenal of spare parts, I just took a suitable roof out of this box: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I like working in the initial phase with different colored primers, so I can better identify and eliminate the bumps and errors. That's the penultimate primer, I think it's the way I want it now That is the possible composition, rims and tires. but not yet deffinitive.

Thank you very much, Curt! Well, those are some Lamborghini rims and tires, I did not notice it earlier, but the similarity is there...

hobbybobby Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Some li`l progress... Well... ... that with the lambostilized ones was the wrong choice... ... I just put it down so fast to see how I wanted to go on, but seen that the wheels were way too small for the wheelhouse openings... ... so here's my new choice: Hope, you like it...

hobbybobby Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for the nice words, I appreciate this very much! More progress on this one, the silver was just the primer, that's the color now, not yet clear lacquered and not polished, I experimented a bit again and thought first, this color would never dry...
