Your approach and execution are first class, Eric, great build so far!

Thank you for showing in the new SA Edition, How to Turn a standard hardtop into a snazzy showcase of vinyl. A fantastic looking build, Marcos, i love it!

This is an amazing job you have done so far, Eric, I am overwhelmed!

Some li`l progress... Well... ... that with the lambostilized ones was the wrong choice... ... I just put it down so fast to see how I wanted to go on, but seen that the wheels were way too small for the wheelhouse openings... ... so here's my new choice: Hope, you like it...

Thank you very much, Curt! Well, those are some Lamborghini rims and tires, I did not notice it earlier, but the similarity is there...

I like working in the initial phase with different colored primers, so I can better identify and eliminate the bumps and errors. That's the penultimate primer, I think it's the way I want it now That is the possible composition, rims and tires. but not yet deffinitive.

Unfortunately, I can not tell you that, I have a large arsenal of spare parts, I just took a suitable roof out of this box:

Thank you for the suggestion, a very nice piece. Well, unfortunately it does not matter with the engine, I stuck the hood to the body to form a smoother shape, the cap on the hood is made of full polystyrene plates and putty, so the engine would have no place anyway...

I've been started a long time with this Project, and I would like to show you the construction path again. I cobbled together several bodies, that were deformed or partially useable... ... for exemple, from this one I cut the tail off ... from others the widenings, the tail wing comes from the Ferrari F50, and then comes filling, sanding, again and again, the roof is extended, or better said: a new roof manufactured, because it previously had none... ... and that's how it looks... Hope, you like it.

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Maybe it's this one, called the Backburner:

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for the kind words, I really do appreciate them!

The pics are now in the finished section...

Li'l Gypsy Wagon This one has one of the best examples of box art you'll ever see and that has always attracted me magically... I have tried for years, to get hold of one of those things, of course, in order to build it! ... unfortunately without success, most were already gone, or the deals blew up to much my Budget... As it happens in life, you often see the trees, but not the forest... So I decided to build my own: The project is not finished yet, I still build a diorama, but the vehicle as such, it is complete, here are the Pictures:

Thank you very much! This build is already finished... I will post soon the pictures in the finished section. I'm also on building a Dio, but, well, hmm, yes, that might take some more time...

Thank you all for the kind words, I appreciate that very much! As a modeler, you must always keep your eyes open for such things. If we look a second time, these turn out to be true treasures... The only disturbing thing is, the time it is applied to search, Things that you know exactly how they should look, and that they are also available somewhere, but just then, they are nowhere to be found... Just like these three things for the planned dio... ... it has taken an eternity to find this, and again as long to keep it in the hands... There is still much to do...

Thank you, Dave! Now, such a build retreat to the length, and never seem to be ready... ... but, where is the fun factor? Sometimes, much more fun are the heavy paths and the journey is the destination... Green = Leek, comes from a PLAYMOBIL®- set Rosy = Flower, comes from another PLAYMOBIL®- set Yellow = Hat, comes from a Kinder Egg- Gimmick figure White = a piece of polystyrene I let the pictures speak... Well, yes, the flower pot, I could quickly make it on the lathe... ... but, where is the fun factor? Here's a possibility if you have no lathe on Hand... The hat loses his sun protection... This is an inner rim... I need only this ring... ... and it fits... ... composition... ... a little Color... ... and at its final place... Hope, you like it.

First, i tried to connect this holder with a superglue, but, it always broke down again... Then I have it's stuck with a two-part adhesive, after two days in this position: ... and with a little paint over it...

Thank you very much! Here is another part of the Chuck Wagon kit... ... mounted... ... and a bit of color... I did not like the original tank, the one from the Beer Wagon kit fits much better... http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/beer_wagon.html ... and mounted...

Thank you very much for the kind comments, I really do appreciate them. The assembly of the chimney pipe to the oven... ... a little color and mounted, the lower part is simply... ... the upper part must be done only after the install of the cottage...

That the oven makes some sense, must be installed a chimney pipe... I've tried a few things, but just this, looked good... ... plastic drinking straws! Whatever the reason, (too old?) all of these ripped when I turned around a little bit... ... only the yellow remained flexible, two pieces are needed, along with a "pipe cleaner"... ... cut to the required length... The idea is that the tubes remain dimensionally stable through the pipe cleaner...

The front light... The back side of the support is hollow... ... I fill it out with white glue... This end of a necklace is perfect as holder of the lantern... ... oh yes, the lantern, this part is of the Ricksha kit... http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/ricksha.html ... and as a complete, new part, the frontligt... Hope, you like it.

This is from a colander, it is made of aluminum... From a small piece of it, I cut out a round one... I have a few marbles in different diameters. [ I can now rounding the part, through push the part with this marble and my fingers... So it looks finished and mounted... ... and so the whole... Hope, you like it.
