1959scudetto

Looking great, Pierre - striving for perfection (as always):

Interesting to see this one being built - it is (original) a Heller kit, reboxed by Airfix.

Very nice, Rich - could be a sister of the MGB.

Great model of one of my favorite racecars !

Only when viewed from a distance - my roundels were of a too large diameter (I had to cut them down with scissors) and not opaque enough - I had to make double layers.

Exceptional detailing here, Mark - will look awesome when finished !

Last pit stop in this part of the forum - all details finally applied (including door handles from steel wire) - final part will be the application of race numbers and sponsor decals. Next time in the Under Glass section !

Here is a link to jimperlinx (le mans decals) on ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/124763932572?_skw=ferrari+250+gto+1964&itmmeta=01JC4DKB95G65RY6S1E4DCYK94&hash=item1d0c82879c%3Ag%3ALj4AAOSwPhpmPxcS&var=425767140646 Gary has ordered a few times from them, so did I -no problem.

x 2 - looks very good !

Your excellent dioramas are always a pleasure to look at, Charles - so many small details to discover. (Unusual subject, though)

A very fine tribute to Fangio, Matt - and of course another fine model for your Roy Cross tribute series. Your upgrades and alterations make this kit look very convincing. I really do hope that your series will continue.

Got one of the now ultra-rare "British Sponsors" decal sheet from the (obviously) defunct DMC decals: A French slotcar seller had still 2 left in stock. Now I can finally complete my Ford P68:

Please carry on - this will be nothing than mindblowing !

That is a misunderstanding from your side, Mark. Of course you will see this in the Under Glass section - but it is not yet finished (missing decals arrived today).

Paint and decals came out great, Pierre - and these fantastic wheels are the icing on the cake.

Thanks Mark - it is in the WIP section as of now.

Yesterday evening I have all missing details finally included: side window hatches cut from blister packages, headlight covers were donated from a 250 GTO (Italeri), roof-mounted rear view mirror from Scale Productions (polished metal), rear wheel spinners from a Fujimi Gulf GT40, touch-ups with Humbrol silver and matte white enamels (tire lettering): Now waiting for the (correct) decals... then a few small touch-ups where necessary, and next time it will be in the "Under glass" section.

Mock-ups are quite essential: for self-motivation and for checking ride-height of a vehicle to achieve the stance you want to get, especially when kit-bashing or modifying/reworking old builts like this '68 Ford 3 L prototype:

As you may know, the real F3L/P68 did not finish any of the races it attended. Well, mine is at least crawling towards the finish line (still a few details have to be added - I'm still awaiting some decals I have ordered from France): wiper from the spares box, polished metal fuel cap from Scale Production, headlights from CTM: rear lights are amt truck roof lights, painted over with orange and red (outside) and dark red (inside) clear enamels. Roof opening has been closed with clear plastic. Engine cover (black) and dashboard have been added and an inside rear view mirror. Next update will follow soon...

Very nice collection, Gary - thanks for showing them all together ! Great model of the 1949 LM winner: from drawing to wood-carving to the final modelcar - absolutely marvellous!

Fantastic build, Alex !

Very sharp-looking Ferrari !

Exquisite model, Rich - with lots of additonal details (I followed your WIP) - its business end looks so real with the body panel removed, you can almost hear the screaming of the V12 !

Absolutely exceptional model, Rich - can't wait to see it in the under glass section.

That's a bunch of nostalgia, Matt - and marvellous reproductions !
