. Correct, witch doctor.

I stand corrected, just trying to find the scene where they blew up the car, now I see the replica lives.

Those wheels look decent! Look forward to seeing it completed! I've always wondered if Ferrari, knowing they do not like reproductions, sued to get that destroyed, so they made it part of a plot. That was a great episode, when Sonny got the drug dealer's Testarossa at the end.

Thought so. I picked up a KA Models detail pack for the 250GTO, which has turned aluminum/p-e wheels. Expensive yes, but when obsessed it shouldn't matter, eh?

Thank you. Worm's eye view is a good test. Thank you David! It was a project that languished a long time, glad to finish it. It also got 3rd place in Dioramas at the Copper State Model Car Championship 2003, so pleased with that.

invites, I'm always

It's late, I read "van" and thought a Viper powered minivan. LOL You want to add some interesting figures to that display?

Did I mention the Corian looks like the gravel seal coat on my street? This is an older picture, pixelated quality. And forgot to click the "Notify me of replies" which is a nice feature on this forum.

This diorama was to make as simple a base as possible, and attempt to show motion. The pavement is just a piece of Corian (plastic kitchen/bath countertop), which is the perfect grain and color, sandblasted texture for rolled out pattern. Tire marks are pastel chalk. I made the master, and made resin copies of the cones, most are solid, a few are hollow, and for the killed cone I bent it soon after casting. The timer equipment is really simple, I could have super detailed something better. The VW Golf II GTi is the Revell kit, the alleged "Tuner series", which has horrible wheels and hideous aero parts. I used Integra wheels. I modified the bumpers to be European looking, the grill has wire mesh, added a moon roof, Evo 5 mirrors, resin Vehicross gas cap, Euro tuner green taillights, real springs on the suspension (which nobody can see), removed door handles (which are really cheap units). Painted with Boyds turquoise, with a nail 'polish' green pearl over it, and clear. The interior back seat was removed, Scale Motorsport decal on seats, figure is modified race driver. Built in 2003. I owned a '91 Jetta GLi, did some autocross, so I *had to* do the lifted rear wheel.

Incredible work, worthy of the bravery that day.

I'm impressed! Follow your passion, and you should be a happy camper. You ever do tiny jobs, such as the KLEIN name on this bicycle? Thought you might have a catch all page of multiple jobs.

This should be cool, as expected, better not let us down.

BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH..... that blows. I know how much effort just to build this kit, even though I haven't built mine, seen plenty done.

Nice color choice, everyone does pink or black. This is another kit in my stash, just because it's excessively cool. Good on you for completing it!

Cool, love purple! Good for you to finishing up a project! I finished up some last year, down to 3 now, but dying to start on new projects.

BTW: That looks awesome! Aluminum rims?

Bumping this thread. I was searching to see if the Academy 250LM has ever been reviewed, much less built. Meanwhile, did this 250 SWB get released? I picked up an Italeri kit without lots of important parts, planned on making into a resto-rod, and have some parts left over from the awful AMT kit that is in my Out To Pasture diorama.

This is a kit I scored at GSL auction, and recently splurged on the MCG photo-etch. Good information to know! First time I saw one, didn't know what it was, or how rare they are. The owner had just restored it, was showing it to my boss. It was black, and the fake turn signal grills were more red than orange, I do remember that little weird detail.

Mk2 rally car

The Mead, I have a Hot Wheels of that. Great suggestion.

Found your comment from a search. I've been waiting for a Hiro Lusso kit, might be getting it this month. I have a Italari 275 GTB (& GTS), and a Fujimi Daytona GTB, so I'm set for life. Meanwhile, I'll tease you with this:

We think alike! Twist my arm for any of the red ones here.
