  1. I really love everything you did to this!
  2. Thank you so much!, i've decided to call it the Reinert Countach in his memory. Somehow i will have his signature on the car -like Horacio did to his Pagani's.
  3. Absolutely stunning! love your SBing!!
  4. What a beautiful masterpiece in its own right!
  5. Brilliant job! i love these little rockets!
  6. Well done! i love the stance!
  7. I'm glad you're sticking to it...its looking beautiful!!
  8. Thank you so much! It is my all-time favorite car as well. I figure after this 1/12, i will save my larger scales for when i'm older as well. For 1/16-1/12, Fujimi, Otaki, Doyusha, and Testors(Fujimi) are all my favorites.
  9. If it freaks you out, or like me, you just get tired of flexing the body every time you have to test fit something, then this next bit i did will interest you. -Photo 1; I decided to hack off the entire back end of the fender wells. Now the body comes on and off easily. -Photo 2-3; The hack job is totally covered, and even though you wont be able to see it anyway, all the electronics will hide the not so factory mod. -Photo 4; It all lines up the kit way again. -Photo 5; I'm gonna have to make wheel spacers since the tyres are slightly, but just too close together.
  10. I dont know about anybody else, but this kits interior tubs bottom was arched a bit, which wouldnt allow it to fit properly, so i came up with a few things to fix the issue. -Photo 1; After sanding flat the interior tub tabs, i glued strips of styrene to the body section in order to sandwich the interior tabs into a definite location. -Photo 2; It worked brilliantly, and is VERY solid. -Photo 3; You can see the sandwich. -Photo 4; I removed any molded in tub locaters, because the warping wasnt allowing them to line up...they werent needed anymore anyway. You can also see another view of the tab. -Photo 5; Here you can also see where i had to notch things earlier to fit the tub to the body.
  11. Hey, everyone, i have some more progress to show here... -Photo 1; Using another trick like with the drivers door, i use pins to slide up so that the hinges will more closely resemble the real thing when visible.
  12. Thanks, Bud!, i really appreciate that...its good to hear from all of you as well!
  13. Brilliant job on both of these!
