Superb!!!

Thank you for posting the photos I have never been to a model show before and it was interesting, for me, to see the spec entry sheet as well as the model. Some have it filed out very detailed and neatly while others have almost no info. Must be interesting to judge. I would like to know what they look for and if a detailed well written entry sheet makes that little smidge of difference for a prize winner. Such a subjective evaluation it would seem. I know I am brutal when I am reviewing resumes for positions in my office....the written document is a huge first impression on me. Anyways, thanks for the link, maybe I need to get out more and see a show or two

Sad news indeed I do hope they reprint his published works, very hard to get a hold of them RIP

Cool, thanks for sharing those :)

Have a good vacation I feel the pain of packing up and moving

I was going to say try a different sprue from another kit and another manufacturer Definitely found I could stretch some for miles and others not at all

They do look pretty cool

Got mine for right around that USD's....it is the poor CAD and shipping that is the killer for me last 30 seconds, snipe in your bid......just sayin have had the week off packing, chucking and recycling stuff, vacuuming spiders up from the garage hauling heavy stuff there is only so much a man can take ........before he needs another Pocher I have no bench to even clear off right now, but will take some nice pics when she comes to my office storage space

Oh yeah, she will get done up right when the time is right. Comes from a trusted source I have bought Pocher engines from so just couldn't resist. You meet the nicest people amongst modellers and collectors. Still, paid a fortune for it. This is Cato's party so I will post some pics when I get her, although he got me started on Pochers, so I blame him when I start getting yelled at My idle hands are always the devil's work there are two on e bay right now for under 1k

This is pure speculation and may or may not be entirely 100% true or even remotely accurate so don't tell anyone, especially my wife, but there is a chance that theoretically I have acquired as soon as it gets shipped .................... another Pocher Like a spanking new(ish) Bugatti T50 K76 model shhhh keep it under your hat.....and I blame all of you guys for the addiction

Why not brass??? I am glad some big guns have chimed in. Brass work is a bit addictive and I do agree about the painting; the brass is so beautiful, it's hard to paint over it. I have just started learning silver soldering for brass modelling and when you get it right, you have a strong and immediately stable joint...no waiting for glue to dry. It has a learning curve for sure and the set up, stabilization and cleaning of the brass can be challenging. Once you get the hang of it, it is a ton of fun and opens up avenues for stronger models. It is another weapon in your arsenal along with styrene to build better models than just what comes out of a kit.

Loving the build and the story embarrasingly I googled the Violati family at the start of the thread to see who Ricardo was and the history of the car....don't tell anyone

Hey, good for you, Ken the auction is at twice your reserve...others did see all those PE and goodies I am too chicken to sell anything on E Bay

1/8 Pocher Bugatti T50...one of my dream kits wife will kill me for sure this time

Good looking project I really like the driver

That light mount and radiator does look real, excellent work Also like the bench seat, you did a fabulous job on tucking the cushion fabric with minimal wrinkles and folds You can recover my couch anyday!

Hey, that would make a great movie.... Thanks for the cloud scam heads up. Will keep my eyes open for that BS in the future

I got NOTHING Got sniped today on E Bay....beaten at my own game, Ahhh the sting of karma

Nice looking stance in the mock up Liking everything you have done so far!

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

Mmmmmm, loving the interior choice. Looks great!!!

I have the 1/12 Tamiya wR1 Wolf and the Ferrari T4 in the stash pile as well as a pile of the 1/20's The Lotus will be great, do a WIP thread so can follow along Lovin the Gt40....that one is high on my want list, but very rare Cheers

Glad you posted this Thanks for all the tips guys

Thanks for posting this, will definitely try it Sometimes the simplest things work the best and I already have everything I need to do it!

Thanks for that I will wash it again and sand before primer make sure no silicone Will try that baking soda method too. Imagine you would have to change it out a couple of times in the bag to keep fresh stuff absorbing the smell...kind of like in the fridge
