Good to know. LOL But compared to the C111, bet it's still better.

Tough decision for me..... since this will be at the Arizona State Fair all this month, will post to bring good karma (fingers crossed).

Very nice job making it realistic, the rust is not overboard and to scale. And the really cool thing, you finished it!

with PETA warning

LOL I see now! Built the 190E2.5-16, 500SEC Lorinser version. I've not seen the 230TE before, that like The Hammer? I have another DTM kit.

There are other scribers, the good ones cost money, if you can even find them!

Whale Oil distributorship

That's a very nice job! Love the color choice. One of my favorite cars. Been thinking of getting one of these kits, to go with the other two Fujimi kits.

Sharp eyes guys! That is a collectible kit made by defunct Nakamura Model Co. Ltd. that I spent more than I should have on, but I have always wanted a C111 model. It sucks as far as detail and accuracy goes, so my plan is to do a resto-rod. How much more sacrilegious can it be, to butcher the car that Mercedes never sold to the public, and then take a race car that put Mercedes won Le Mans 1-2-3 with, with a collectible model and a desirable Tamiya kit? That's my idea, just need time.

SORRY NO! (rules are for breaking LOL)

They race lawn mowers and bar stools, so anything goes! That is the most radical FWD drag car I've seen.

DITTO! But 1969, that's the Glory Days. Start here, this should vacuum up all your disposable income. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/car/

Even though I loath the NY Slimes, will say this opinion piece is worth a read. I used to ski, it simply got too expensive, and risk of breaking bones or dying helped make that a Glory Days hobby. I'm in the same boat! Maybe if we stopped making up stories, we would get something done.

except for dogs

Who said you have a "problem"? Think all of us have the problem of no time, and too many dreams. I see some guys have a problem not thinking out of the box, like 'Merican hot rods are the only subject to care about. Maybe the problem is not enough space, can understand that dilemma, this summer I moved my collection out of an attic storage, to a closet, then got a rolling store shelving unit which made it so cool. It's extremely subjective, and opinions are like ***holes.... This is only some of my stash, I just got the shelving from a store going out of business.

Congratulations on the extras! Interested in your comparison evaluation!

I splurged lately, this order came from Australia. For some reason have wanted every version of Mercedes 170, already have 3 different MiniArt kits. Master Box Ltd. is a new brand to me, looks good with lots of tiny plastic parts and no photo-etch. Adding anything Ferrari that looks interesting, in this case tiny turned aluminum intake trumpets to go with whatever 250 GTO ever gets built, and chrome stick-on logos. I've made my own fire extinguishers before, now I don't have to (Lambo Miura really needs one). And a photo-etch bending tool.

cardboard for mahogany

I watched the video, thank you for posting and creating this thread! I know this is how the Italian design firms built the classics I'm a fan of. I have not tackled a total design, but do use cardboard for mock-ups. Current project is a conversion of a resin conversion, a Canopy Express. I'm close to creating the plastic forms to make the vacuum-formed panels. It's all by eye, not really accurate and to hundredths of an inch/mm, but if it looks good, I'm happy, and that's all I care about.

Good to know. But still thinking of getting the Tamiya kit, for comparison, and can't have enough Porsches.

The NSA is watching us too. Guess Zuckerturd was too busy worrying about "Fake News". Fakebook also does not seem able to spot those cute bimbos who want to friend me like every day, who have porn posted on their accounts. How hard can it be to identify URLs so scammers can't set up new accounts?
