Just a basic but effective build of a 1/24 Cox Cheetah. I did just a small amount of scratch building and wanted this to look like a club car. Anyway, I had a good time doing this one but it was a challenge.

Thanks for the tip of the hat lads - The colour I used is Tamiya TS-11 Maroon. The white was Tamiya ts-7 racing white.

lovely work... great passion and easy to see. I love this Ferrari's and this one is great... magic

ome scratching building on this car. Had a good time and maybe the nicest one I've done of this car.

This beautiful DBR1 is a GP-Miniatures slot car body. I did some scratch building on this car (can you see where?) and used a Monogram body with a Cox head. Jairus did the brass chassis which finished this car off real well. I had a real good time building painting this car and I highly recommend this kit from GP-Miniatures. I'm going to do another GP-Miniatures car soon... maybe the DB4...

I'm using metal casting parts for the cage. Fantasy livery "Martini". I had to do it "again" Had a good time doing this one.

Hi David I believe for $10 you can get a photographers air blower. These things are a must have brother. You can blow dust off the car before you shoot and it's great for getting water off the car so to quicken the drying process. Here's a link to the one I have.... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=259157&is=REG&Q=&A=details Regarding the amazing Ferrari you have done. I'm clad you did some shots of the doors closed and it shows how special this car is. The car looks real and alive. Lovely work mate... Magic!

Wow... I got one of these to sort out. It was an unpainted 1/32 NSR Ford GT Mark IV slot car so I went for a more modern look. Carbon fiber stripe and a gun metal base topped off with gold rims. Lovely;) I also went with a little more detail using what was in my tool box. It was a fun project and a very nice model from the Italians. Well done NSR...

beautiful - The photos are great as well

thanks a lot guys... here's a short video of the car

Hi again! Here a build that Jairus and me are sorting out at the moment. The model is a 1/24 scale Testors Ferrari 250 GTO. Jairus went ahead and built up the interior to fit an amazing brass chassis old school style. We also wanted to open the hood to show the lovely v12 engine detail. A good place to read how Jairus did this chassis and the build up - http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51817 When I got the car I decided to go all out and add a lot extra detail to the interior and motor. Lots of scratchbuilding was done in order to pull off the look. I also used an old Monogram driver from a 1/24 Chaparral 2D kit. I cut the head off and used a modified Cox head. Moreover, I modified the body to fit the cockpit and to be holding the gear stick. Needless to say, at lot will be hidden but if you go looking you'll find the detail. The photos are big and it a little rough but when the car is your hands it looks much better. Onto the body now. I'm thinking Ferrari red?

thanks Ira... more photos

Hi John, the chassis were sent to me like that. You can everything from this site... http://www.scaleracing.de/ Just tell them what you have in regards to body and they should be able to sort the right chassis and wheels for you. They can even glue and true the tyres for you. It cost a little extra but well worth it. Thanks lads for the cool comments.

This is a good site. Thanks... You can't beat a multi adjustable chassis. Thanks again the cool remarks

here's some more photos

that's bloody lovely mate - brilliant job

great job. I love this car and the paint looks real good. I may have to get ones of these.
