  1. I was going to write about the steep price until I actually read your listing.....a ton of goodies included ther Not really my favorite Ferrari so not interested, but good luck on the auction I only had a reserve price of $200.00 I wonder if I could convince the wife not to go to Ohio this weekend to see her brother, and to celebrate our anniversary to get that Enzo...I'd even paint it with the pink paint for her You should try that. It will be as good as me telling my wife I'm selling all my model stuff
  2. this old fart is getting rid of a 1/12th Enzo http://www.ebay.com/itm/171869252950?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_470wt_1362
  3. I will be sending mine over for you to paint the stripes for me
  4. looking good I would like to get one of these also
  5. So I wanted to talk about some of the 3D printed parts I'm using on this kit. The first parts I bought were frosted detail the stuff I just bought I purchased in ultra detail. As you can kind of see in the photos below their is a huge difference in the quality between them. At this point I would consider the first stuff I bought a complete waste of a lot of money. I wish I would have spent the extra money on the ultra detail to begin with the amount of time it took me to clean the parts would have been worth the deference in cost. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.
  6. Per Marks advice I redid some of the rear end linkage. I based my design on this and many other photos off of Google but I decided to use the stock rear end from the kit. A couple photos of the new rear end mocked up
  7. Mark thanks for the advice I have redone the linkage to be more realistic and thanks for the comments
  8. Sorry for the delay real life has been very busy. The rear shocks are hole to hole is 1.25 inches. I have not done the fronts yet. Note that the springs don't come with the kit but Lowes had springs that worked perfect Photos would be great whenever you get some time
  9. Looks pretty good but just like the Enzo the doors don't open. But I will still build it.
  10. WOW I fell behind on reading this build. Just incredible work cant say enough
  11. Okay so I really didn't like the way the rear end turned out so I completely redid it. The photos don't show the bolts or pins holding it together but I forgot to take photos before I took it apart to start cleaning it up and priming. Also you can see I painted the under coating in these photos. And yes the suspension does work. Thanks RB motion for the great shocks.
  12. This is the bottom after the repairs and under coating applied. I later decided to paint the under coating semi gloss black. Here are some photo's of the rear end. top with view with front frame in place added two more arms to it and changed the mounting top view with shock support in place
  13. Okay so this is the start on my newest build. I have decided to customize this kit a bit instead of doing the stock build. I have decided to do a suspension upgrade on the entire kit. I also decided to purchase a motor from TDR I want to get a impression on 3d printing. I am still on the bubble if I'm going to open any doors or the trunk. Here is the stock bottom out of the kit I cut out the front frame I plan on building a bolt on upgrade that are sold for the real 1-1 cars I ground off all the fuel and brake lines even though they look good stock. Installed some filler into the spots I cut out and did some ruff sanding Started on the new front frame work. I needed to get the base frame done so I have a reference for everything else. I plan on doing the rear end first.
  14. I still think its not complete until you put the pin stripe on the wheel's Looks awesome I hope that my skills can be as good as yours someday.
  15. super nice I think I can see my own reflection in the paint
