Thanks Atin! Progress isn't exciting to look at, but primed parts are in mold-making/casting process now, excited to see the second wheels come from the 3D printers - hard to see details with semi-transparent white, but they're there! Working on hinged engine cover and jack-knife doors, so shut lines are all flush fitting, extended rear section slightly (1.5mm) for better accurate appearance & measure

Neat! That would be a cool build to see!

Very nice work, looks good! Don't take this as criticism, but the shut-lines are a bit dark IMO For a white body I usually water down a lot for that, and apply several light coats to build up a nice subtle grey, and it gives a gradient of the shadow also, and it works over wheel decals too for a slight 'wear' look Well done!

Several good points made, I've been doing my own preliminary work on the subject, I have never gotten my hands on a Gunze SCD, but the Ferraris and Jag E-type I have of theirs are quite good, being they are actually getting a little long in the tooth now

All the internets?

Very nice & clean model, I like the M-B DTM coloring on it!

I can't do 10 years, but this one has been over a year, I just haven't gotten back to it Called my $5 build, as the kit was on a clearance table for $5, was a simple motorized kit of the Jota version, but I prefer the SV so converting it, and I decided to build for my own display But keeping with the cheap theme, has not any purchased detailing parts nor PPE items, it's even got a cardboard floor but all else is scratch-built, including the entire engine/transmission & interior mostly I really should get back to it, I know, shame!

Fantastic work, that is truly impressive!

Looks great, very nice! Don't throw it in the recycling!

Much better, looks great! I never have been into 1/43 scale, to small for me, but they are popular size with many collectors

Thanks Kenn! I don't have one either, they are actually quite expensive to maintain, and a head ache, besides which the home based ones under $1000 are not as fine of resolution, so I use Shapeways, and so far quite happy with the results, the trick is making the design model to the best quality level of detail with consideration of primer/paint layers & casting Only the wheels and rotor centers are 3D printed parts for this build, everything else is handmade!

What a fun subject, and really well done, detailing and finish are great!

Thanks LDO! I've still never actually seen one in person, maybe next summer though? There are so few, getting to see one is pretty rare indeed! Work progessing, body pictured in initial & final primer coats now, and interior structure being made ready for final form, other parts primed and in molding process edit: hm, photos made shown in reverse order for some reason?

I'm considering to try out SO's 310 (white), it has a longer pot life @ 20minutes, and 2-4 hour demold, with same cured strength, I'm thinking this might be even better for some larger volume castings?

Neat idea, that's what I call a "land yacht"! Check out Jay Leno's 1000hp Toronado video, it's pretty cool!

Hi Bruce, another fellow Canuck! Nice looking models there, very nice!

Thank you guys, much appreciated, looking forward to getting this one all finished up, starting some of the molds now, to make the duplicate parts & test fit those together in final form Maybe do a twin build of two variations? Thanks Lee! Noticed the Red-Green quotes there "Keep your stick on the ice" Thanks Anne! Yes I should have chosen "Crazy Nutty Modeller" for forum name Thanks Eric! I know those wheels can be found probably from some kit bashing research, but was decided that bespoke wheels were better & made accurate to 1:24 scale - not 1:25 - and finer detail, would befit the build Okay, back to work!

I'll need to buy two, so I can make a 4 door Rubicon!

Been waiting for this one!

Very nice, super clean & cool build!!

Continued progress on some of the small items, manifolds & turbos, the flat surface is where the photo etch metal grills will be placed yet Decided to build the turbos, rather than source from a donor kit, using styrene, brass & aluminum stock The early-to-mid variations of the W2 were not intercooled, and used CIS fuel injection A challenge for the fingers & eyes!

Very nice & clean build, it looks great!

many ebay sellers I've noticed give artificially inflated shipping prices, in order to offer an item at lower "visual" price, it's a ploy, and doesn't reflect the actual shipping cost, if you were to get a UPS quote directly, the two would not match if you purchase a few smaller items and ship via UPS or FedEx ground, then brokerage should be minimal or none, at least in my experience I have learned that, because they base the brokerage and duty not on size nor weight, but on price/value declared on the package last thing to try, is if you have a larger shipment via UPS or FedEx, is to call them once you package arrives - but before you claim it - and act angry that you weren't made aware of the brokerage/duty costs, and demand they reduce it, which they will do for you - they have for me before - and can save 50% or more by doing that, then insist they re-deliver to your door - which they will

casting looks good, minimal flash from what I can see those wheels look kinda small for the fender openings IMO

Very nice, I'd love to own a real one for this summer! (ya right, I wish I could afford it! )
