Looks good: These mean machines must have been really a handful - similar to a rodeo cowboy riding a bull: sitting almost on the drive axle while trying to handle the power.

1/24 Cobra 289 FIA / USRRC wheels
1959scudetto replied to Hoffman's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Hello Jason, it's great that you joined the forum - now it is easier to contact you directly - I introduced your Jaguar E-type spoke wheels here and have ordered also the Cromodora and Porsche 356 wheels from you. What do you think of Borrani wires (especially for Italeri 250 GTO - these have the same widthfront and rear which is totally wrong) that have been proposed to you by Pierre (Rivard) ? These would be very welcome indeed! Keep up the good work! -
What an awesome, brutal machine - I am looking forward to another great racer coming out of your garage Gary (Le Mans participant?)

Builders Slump
1959scudetto replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Rich, I have the same thoughts as Gary - you are showing us great models, one after the other. But this should be a hobby, so a temporary slump is no drama in my opinion. A bigger problem would be to put yourself under pressure so that the hobby - which should be a great enjoyable pastime - becomes something like work. -
Very nice car, Mario - though not a big fan of red Ferraris, this color is very fitting for the 328.

From the Hachette 1/24 Mexican series (made by Ixo): a no-nonsense, plain utility vehicle with almost no chrome. I ordered this one because I sold off my amt kits. Cab/hood is metal, whereas the pickup bed and rear fenders are plastic - all painted a very dark green. As I knocked off the rearview mirror bracket on the passenger side, I decided to give it a little "Snake-Fu" treatment: I added some round mylar chrome foil to both mirrors, a small piece of aluminium tube for the exhaust pipe and 1961 Wyoming plates cut from a very old auto world license plate sheet (could be a "Cowboy Cadillac"/c. Terry Jessee) - in my imagination, a typical vehicle for rural America back in the day. At last, I needed a load and cut a cardboard box from a Verlinden sheet I bought 30 years ago.

Sorry to read this - I have been missing his comments for a while but would not have thought that he had passed (he was even younger than me!). Checking his profile I found out that he had even posted on Feb. 22. My condolences to his family.

Just in from the postman (via ebay France) - 1955 Chevy 3100 PU from Hachette (1/24, Mexican series) - a plain, no fancy working truck.

Nice model , Mario as is your trademark - the car looks a bit like It's been souped up as a traffic light street racer back in the day - but the box art pic of the real one sits also a bit high and sports wider rear tires (cheater slicks?)

Tyrrell Yamaha 021 Formula 1
1959scudetto replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Nice build, Rich, of a seldom seen car from an era where Tyrrell's best years had been over long ago. -

Lamborghini Countach double-build: LP400 & LP400S (Tamiya, 1/24 scale)
1959scudetto replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Very nice Countachs - I especially like the orange LP400 - a color that is typical for Lamborghinis of that era. -
Well done, Mario - looks great in front of that old French store.
-
You did it again, Janos - fabulous model !

Vintage 1958 Aston Martin DB3S
1959scudetto replied to Gramps46's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Rare model of an equally seldom seen subject, Gary - the car leaving the pits in the rain could be taken for real! -
Excellent looking Daytona in this gloss black/leather brown combination - well done!
-
Excellent model, Larry - Forza Ferrari ! (i have two of them in my stash, and have read only good things about it)
-
Looks very promising, I bought myself a can a few weeks ago, will keep it for special applications.

7 Eleven IMSA Mustang GTP
1959scudetto replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Cool racer, Rich ! Unusual with its front mid-engine configuration - I can't remember ever seeing one of these built ! (I had the Ford Motorsports version of this but sold it in the 90's.)
