    Built the 356B decades ago, sold the Alfa GTA years ago and sort of wish I kept it but have 180 models now so why do I need another model oh wait I'm an addict never mind.

    I happen to know who owns #001 Ferrari. He was living back east at the time he saw an ad in the paper, it was a basket case. Found the engine in South America. Experts argued about it's authenticity, until he brought it to a show. It's in unrestored condition, so it's not sexy enough to be all over every Ferrari blog, we see the cycle fender version. If I recall, "C" is part of the serial number. He took me for a short ride around the neighborhood. These pictures are at a Prescott Antique Auto Club in 2008, that's me behind the wheel.

    Monogram Porsche 904. Don't know why, had to get one. Seen a few auction for higher than I wanted to pay on eBay, this vendor had a price that was not ridiculous. After I ordered it, they messaged me to say the rear window was missing, I said knock $10 off, they did, I'm happy. Think I can make a back window. I see a tire had melted a little into the roof (knife pointing to the spot), vendor had rebadged parts.

    It's a little bit curved, and the resin does cling without sagging much. I tried it for the third cast. I could also try pressing some foil over it, before it sets, but then removing that could be a problem.

    Ok, will do that next time.

    Thanks. I'm testing the share feature.... just because I own a '68 (of course).

    I'm experiencing ADHD at the moment. Between fixing up my "new" '68 Chevy pickup, and having the VW Beetle on the bench, I also have started production on the Coca-Cola cooler. That Bus was started 2003, so someday I will throw it into the mix.

    My dad requested that number from the pile, to go onto the Mercedes Benz 190 sedan that I grew up with. Dumb luck that LMC are the letters! I'm actually producing copies of the cooler! I had a request to get one, in trade for the Gunze Sangyo High Tech kit that has the photo-etched "Volkswagen" emblem (see picture of real car). I made a new master, that is more accurate. This is why I haven't posted for awhile.

    One (of many) reasons I got stalled on this VW Bus project, didn't like the idea of trying to get a decent paint job done around the giant molded on emblem. I had tried the Alumilte casting putty, but got unsatisfactory results, plus JB Weld doesn't work that well for parts. Since I needed to get fresh casting supplies, I added this to the task. First thing was making a dam around it, used yogurt cup foil because it's thicker than Reynolds, bends nicely, taped down with masking tape. I also filled the corners to prevent spill-out. Oh man, so much happier with this! P.S.: Started this project 2003, could participate in the Bring Out Your Dead challenge when I feel *really* ambitious.

    DITTO that! I've seen a diecast model of it, but it costs a mint too.

    I'm dropping this here, I got the Auto Union Vanderbuilt Cup from him, he has some interesting Ferraris to lust after. https://www.facebook.com/fernandopintomodels/

    Nice..... more lust worthy models! Here is that Shapeways body, after I sanded it to see how that goes. Just some parts that Norm makes, the seats are awesome. Comparing to Shapeways sourced seats, no comparison. If anyone has questions about the four kits of the GTO.... The MFH Lusso, this is my holy grail (so far). I have an incomplete kit of the Italeri 250 SWB, thinking of a resto rod idea for it. I did the AMT years ago, horrid kit. Thanks for letting me onto your lawn.

    Wow, very impressed. I call this the origami era of car design, so can see it's relatively easy to construct, but 8 years, totally understand the work involved. How about a Coca-Cola cooler?

    Thank you for the clarification I had to look up what the Beck 904 is about. Looks like a 911 engine, that's what I'm wanting to do! I just bought a Monogram 1/25 #2954 kit off eBay. Then I got a message that the back window is missing, so I said knock $10 off. *I* can make a new window, the collector value is shot but I don't care about that. (p.s. got an Aerovette that was sealed, read about tires melting the plastic, opened and found one sat on the back window and melted a ring in it, so much for collectible)
