Jaguar E-Type 1962 Le Mans
Gramps46 replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
I searched my files for period photos of the interior/dash of #8 and came up empty. Comparing the photos of the center dash of the #8 and the Cunningham they look pretty much alike, 4 gauges. I am going to assume you have seen the photos here: 1962 Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupe | Blackhawk Collection -

The Collier-Revs Museum was kind enough to send me photos of the interior of the Cunningham XKE. Let me know if you need some. -

Nice work. I am guessing the Flintstone might be a repop of the First Gear diecast. -
I like it.

How big is your... stash?
Gramps46 replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I am pretty much in sync with both David and Pierre. I have an intended purpose for each model in the stash I have and a large library of books and magazines plus many thousands of digital photo files which I have collected over the years. Though I have to admit it is much easier in the digital age to find good reference material and the hard copy is not as necessary unless there is valuable text to good along with the photos. -
How big is your... stash?
Gramps46 replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
My inventory list says 396 kits in the stash. All are 1/24 or 1/25 scale. Those in the little white boxes are resin bodies or transkits though. Too many for an old man in his mid-70s. -

Popular rig back in the day and you captured the look perfectly. -
Extremely clean build of the Tamiya kit. Could we see the underside per chance. Just curious.
-
I too missed the unveiling and am very impressed with the final result. The amount of scratch building which you put into this build is amazing.

A REALLY rear engine Corvair - unsafe at any depth!
Gramps46 replied to mr moto's topic in Model Cars
As a former Corvair owner I just love it. Exceptional execution. -
Thank you Rex for posting the Scalemates kit diagram.
-
I like your approach with your build of the Cobra. Please keep us posted with pictures.

I want to thank everyone for your kind thoughts. It was quite a year on the bench and now I need to get back on it.

Super nice collection for the year. The Studebaker is special.

I agree the Jouef P/4 spyder is a beautiful model and not easy to find. I am going to decal mine to represent 0834 before its unfortunate accident at Le Mans in 1967.

Very well done all the way around. Congratulations on a super year.

Every one of them is looking good but my favorite is the Porsche long tail.

I am using the label completions in the title because some of these models were started decades ago and just finished in 2022. They are a collection of 1/24 plastic kits and modified diecasts.

Once again, I am very impressed with what you have accomplished. The clip technique has been filed away in my kit building archive with a big star for ease of retrieval.
