  1. Looks good Tony despite the challenges.
  2. The XP87, or Bill Mitchell's 1959 Sting Ray racer was a solid resin casting done for Bill Landis and Dave Sposaro and was based upon a Scuderia Scale vacuum formed slot car body. I had to do some reshaping of the fenders and other details.
  3. Thanks to all for your kind comments. It was a fun trip down memory lane for me.
  4. Yes, the '55 Ford Panel is the Monogram kit backdated to a stock original. Glad you liked it.
  5. Footnote: These are a mix of 1/25-1/24 plastic, scrachtbuilds, and diecast. In the '30s, i.e. the Stutz, cars were driven to Le Mans but needed support vehicles.
  6. Really nice finds. What a great way to close out the show season.
  7. Please tell us more about the models. Scale and origin.
  8. Very well done. One of my favorite designs, very pure and simple. Thanks for posting.
  9. I have seen this FIAT 124 Spider advertised plus the BBurago version recently and have been very tempted. Now you go and post these pictures.
  10. Sad to hear of your decal problems but your solution was a good idea. Looks very believable.
  11. Tim, it has been a few years since I got the TDF but I am guessing I bought it on eBay from a vender in Italy. Helmut might have better info from the ebays in Europe.
  12. Neat finds Ron. Thanks for sharing them with us.
  13. Oh my yes. The color, the decals, the details are all spot on. Using a small clip is a great idea. I might have to think seriously about getting one of these kits.
  14. Super nice conversions.
  15. Really well done. I especially like the plug wires and emergency brake cable look to be spot on.
  16. I got lucky a few days ago and bid on a $6.00 Ferrari F12tdf 2015 and was the only bidder. Figuring my chances were zilich I promptly forgot about it till notified that i was the winner. Fortunately, I fall above the age limit too.
  17. A beautiful Model of an Iconic racer. Thank you for the photos.
  18. I have used Pattos decals over the years and they have improved and have an amazing selection.
  19. Glad you could join us, welcome.
  20. Excellent models and web site. I am glad you have joined us and our adventures in modeling.
  21. Thank you, Howard, for posting your photos. Very welcome to see them.
  22. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.
  23. Thanks for posting Rex. I like the looks of the GT Enduro and the McLaren. My question is how did air get to the radiator?
  24. Bravo Pierre on he the pair of racers. You captured the period perfectly as I remember them from the '60s when I went to the races. I am also starting to envy the freedom you took to do it your way.
