  1. Thanx Ira Doug ,...You should let me know when you get rid of stuff like that! Little bit more P/E work,... Undercarriage got a straight sanding with 220. Firewall sanded and polished with some straight sanded pieces to add visual interest,.. Next a dark wash with Vallejo to pick out the rivet heads and seams Keep ya posted Cheers
  2. Hmm...I've looked everywhere for it I guess there's a problem shipping paints internationally I will keep searching...
  3. Since we are all here,... Have any of you been able to find Alclad products here in Ontario? How about Other detailing items A/N fittings, or Braided hose etc. Shipping and exchange rates are kicking our butts,... anywhere in Canada, you guys deal with?

  7. Thanks Derek.. Hey Joe, Thanks Man, I've wanted to do this kit again for,... ohh... 35 yrs.!lol Bit of an update,.. Ended up stripping the exhaust of that horrid Krylon chrome,..thinking on a different approach,.. the solder I have is the right size,...? and while I'm thinking I broke out the Scale motorsports P/E upgrade kit. I sanded all the Tamiya rivet detail off the cockpit tub.. The P/E set is beautiful,..detailed , precise, smooth,....ya so I had to change that,.. I sanded each piece with 400 g then polished using Autosol metal polish...just to make it look a little more used,... I used Insta-Cure+ Medium..5-15 sec. Still very quick adhesion,..but just enough time to move it,...once I'll get back to those exhausts,.. when I'm ready,... Right now tho I really gotta get some sleep that was a long bench sit so ya cheers
  8. I agree with Skip To use real burled walnut at this scale,...you would end up with 1/4 of a burl, in that size dash,... Cato I think your Sedanca is looking great!! Cheers
  9. Nice work going on in that new shop of yours Richard! Cheers
  10. Gorgeous color and shine Raymond! Cheers
  11. Ya, John getting the pipes aligned was a bit of a chore. I used Tamiya thinset cement which allows a little movement,. and fiddled with them and the long pipe, until it all fell into place. Then just hold them there and applied more thinset. And after all that, I'm now going to replace the long pipe with 1/4" aluminium,...it looks more scale.
  12. That was worth the wait Cool little machine there Brent Cheers
  13. Hey Jason Ya I've been looking forward to this one !...Your Lotus 72D looks awesome Man! Thanks Gary Welcome aboard Janne Bit more done....

  19. Very Nice Joe Beautiful use of space. Looks like a movie poster! Cheers
  20. After 35 yrs. I am going to try this one again.... The first time I didn't have the patience, or skills to build it properly, and gave up, in favour of less creative endeavours Anyway, this is going to be a rather long WIP due to extra detail parts from both Best Balsa Kits and Scale Motorsport. This is one of my favorite F1 car liveries from way back. The team only lasted a couple of years ('77 - '78) but won their first event and two more that year ('77) Canadian GP, Monaco, and Argentina. Owned by Walter Wolf,..an Austrian / Canadian,...Read up on this guy, what a character!! Started this one properly I always start my builds with the engine,...so, here it is so far.... Transmission duplicolor #cbgm0529 dark spiral grey mett., drybrushed testors flat steel, and then sprayed testors dullcote.....Block sprayed Krylon chrome, washed with tamiya smoke, and then testors dullcoat....Heads sprayed Duplicolor sandable black primer and washed with gunze sangyo burnt iron. So far ....about 35 parts And then this A couple of extra wires added for rear light and oil pump wiring.... Tamiya kits are well known for accuracy and fitment, this one is no exception, although the flash on this one is a little more than usual. Not a complaint, just saying,... The '77 WR1 was a quick release, by 1978 it was on the shelf!! See ya soon with more, after I research some more engine plumbing schematics for the Ford/Cosworth DFV's Q + C + C's welcome! Cheers oh and thanks to Joe (ferrarijoe) for coming thru with one of my holy grail kits
  21. And some quick connects,...and one lug per rim!
  22. Sweet! Ya Team Canada!! Cheers
