1959scudetto

Excellent builds!

Very nice builds and fabulous descriptions, Bill - the P4 with the P3 wheels looks almost like the 412 P (3rd placed NART car) from Daytona 1967 (Rodriguez/Guichet)

So sorry to hear of your wife's passing, Ken - I had no idea about that. Best wishes to you for 2022 and keep on modeling.

Your models are proof of this, Lee - expecially the "Bad Trip" Anglia, the "Agitator" VW Dragster and the 5window Ford rod - outstanding paint jobs !

Beautiful maroon/dark red color on this awesome muscle car, Gerry !

Very well done models, Bernard (though i'm not into rods and customs) - the one that impresses me most is the '50's Maserati - a 1/24 model kit of this would be great !

Hi, Bob - you mean this one?

Interesting variety, Bill - I already admired your JB DB5 in the die-cast section- did you use it's wheels for the Burago 275 GTB/4? Excellent other builds, especially the Ford vs Ferrari models - the P4 with P3 alloy wheels!

Cool looking model, Doug - where did you get the wheels from ?

Thanks, Kurt !

Will be interesting to see what you will do with it.

Super nice builds, Aaron - the Le Mans racers are exactly to my taste - great also the other ones! Show us more of your models!

Very nice collection, Ludwig - especially the '64 Cadillac stands out for me (JoHan Coupe de Ville?) - looks great in that color !

Very nice model, Sam - I always thought the crackerbox is ugly, but now I like it more than the Astro - anyway, your build looks great (even more when you list all the obstacles you had to overcome !

Thanks, Chris and Johnny !

Looks great, Dan - which tires did you use for the front axle ?

Very nice build, Casey - it has just the right amount of chrome.

Don't know why I missed that - great looking KW Aerodyne, Gareth !

Fantastic job, Mario ! It looks great - very realistic - in your pictures it can easily be taken for real ! I have the same in my stash - think I will build this the same way (I have built one back in 1983 and it is one of the best truck models - like the other original ERTL trucks) Also very impressive is the old Ford box van.

reworked, restored or modified existing models and diecasts (most of them already shown here): restored Daytona Spyder (bought as a built-up with missing parts), modified two 250 GTO's and a 1953 Corvette: repaired/restored a Franklin Mint 300 SL and reworked a Politoys DeTomaso Mangusta: modified diecasts into existing competition cars: Danbury Mint Ferrari 250 TR, Burago 250 SWB and Welly Renault 8 Gordini): and finally, modified 3 diecasts into fictitious racers (Welly 300 SL and R 8 Gordini, LeoModels Alfa Giulia TZ 1):

Could be my words, Kurt - as my childhood has been in the '60s, I prefer sports cars and sports racers from 1960 up to 1975 (eventually expanded from 1950 up to 1990) - but the 60's and early 70's had the best looking Ferraris and Alfa Romeos, not to mention Ford GTs, Chaparrals, Porsches and even the F1 cars looked good back then. My favorite sports cars - Ferrari 250 GT/L (Lusso), Lamborghini Miura and Dino 246 GT are from that era - Italian cars never looked as fantastic as back then - today's supercars may be technically perfect, but have no soul - they are ugly to me and look like roboters.

You show us exceptional models here, Tony - the orange Plymouth GTX is my favourite here.

Looks very good, Rodrigo - Italeri reissued the old Esci kit.

Great save into this mild custom, Steve!

Very nice build, Ludwig - this is one amt should reissue if possible anyhow. By the way, you've got an excellent reference with your real one!
