  1. Loving it Cato, thanks Also, my Pocher shipped today I have a 1/12 1930 Bentley, and 1/16 Duesenberg, Mustang and 427 Cobra coming Son gave me a 1/16 300SL Gullwing for Christmas Gonna a be a bit busy soon...like forever
  2. Sorry Jordan, I forgot to post the measurements The wheels+tires have a 45mm diameter The spoke wheels are 30 mm diameter rim to rim with a 1mm flange for the wheel to seat
  3. I think I stole that idea from your Pocher build I used a metal duct tape and am surprised how sturdy it is
  4. Over a nice quiet Christmas afternoon, I added a dipstick and an oil line to the lhs Dipstick is brass and stretched styrene sprue...needs a little MG decal Made a little cardboard stand for easier handling of chassis and body
  5. Oohs very jealous, great car my friend I have a Hasegawa 328 in my stash
  6. Such a great looking car. I had a poster on my wall as a kid as well You did a fine job on them, especially the yellow one The Hasegawa 1/24 944 turbo is in my stash pile right now
  7. Holy smokes What an impressive demonstration of skill
  8. Your build looks good so far, I agree the 1/16 scale is fun and a bit easier on the old eyes This looks like a good kit; I might get one, chop the roofline and hot rod it up........or not as I have dug a huge hole of kits to make Cheers
  9. Your awesome paint work absolutely screams out in these pics.....from shiny to weathered, you nailed it
  10. There are so many classic early cars they could re-release, especially in the 1/16 scale I bought this kit Christmas eve $94 CAD....hope to do it up to near Harry's calibre
  11. You are so welcome, Merry Christmas to you and yours Prayers for your wife's swift recovery ps: I bought my Alfa K73 today......will start a thread when it gets here Thank you so much for your help
  12. Lovely leather, wood and chrome in that pic of the real one Floored by how fast this is coming together
  13. Oh Cato, such sad news I wish both of you well and a fast recovery; models can wait This is the season for miracles, best wishes for the holidays
  14. I don't want to derail your build here but the mention of lexan windows is interesting, like to her what you do I spent the last 30 min searching how to make acetate windows here and google Some use plastic from bottles or clear sheet plastic; no real definite vids or anything I have a small dental vacuuform machine we use for sports guards and such. I can easily get clear acrylic of various thicknesses but would need to make a heat resistant blank to mould on Hmmm, I bet you do something simple and brilliant
  15. Watching intently! Great paint color
  16. I respect that no nonsense, no fiddling, get down to business and build attitude You are master of accenting what is visible and important while weeding out the trivial non-visible that most of us get stuck on Cudos
  17. I love seeing someone use their brain and skill and come up with parts rather than using a wallet and buying PE parts Very impressed
  18. Coming along nicely Very classy gold and chrome with a hint of red in the interior. Looks good! You are in warp speed compared to my donkey speed builds
  19. Haven't posted much progress, so let's have a peek at the engine Block colour to match body paint all Tamiya Heat wrap on exhaust is painted hockey tape for a Canadian flavor Trying to make some Weber carbs....this is try #3 with brass and aluminum tubing and plastic One of the members here was a wealth of MG info in the lost thread I have an MGTC restoration book he suggested on route from Amazon for Christmas Thanks for looking
  20. Ahh yes, this may be my Magnum Opus....great work or great headache
  21. It is a grand touring Alfa k73 in pretty rough shape I would never have touched it if not for you guys and your insight and help Will do a thread if I get her Thanks my friend
  22. You guys are great, those instructions are super helpful I have a weird affinity for rescuing lost kits and making something out of nothing But the Pochers are so complicated, expensive and BIG The instruction manual is a keystone for me, thanks a ton for that We shall see! Offer made
  23. Love this car in that paint scheme You have done it proud
  24. Wife may shoot me Both kits are selling as is, one without box and instructions! Me very chicken
  25. That is cool!
