  1. X2 Looking forward to seeing more.
  2. Rich, your workmanship on the Porsche is outstanding.
  3. I sent him an email at his AOL address and have not heard back in several days.
  4. Beautiful build of the Blower Bentley. The engine detail painting is impressive.
  5. 1974 BMW 3.0 CSL driven by Finotto, Facetti. and Mohr. The kit made by Toyko Marui is a very nice curb side and includes Pennsylvania style ? poseable front wheels.
  6. I finally figured out what #32 in the back row is supposed to be. It was meant to be the 1957 718 RSK of Maglioli and Barth but by using a Revell RS60 body was pretty far off. Like I said, confession is good for the soul.
  7. Stepping back in time a bit we have a 1928 Stutz DV Black Hawk driven by Brisson and Bloch. The model is by Danbury Mint and has been modified to match the configuration at Le Mans.
  8. Now I have a decision to make. Went to Michaels and bought the Revell kit breaking my oath not to buy anymore plastic to add to the stash. My plan had always been to build the Heller Cunningham XKE kit as raced at Le Mans in 1962. The good folks at the Collier/REVS collection were good enough to photograph the interior for me, green BTW. Either one would need to have the wheels changed to resin Dunlops. Suggestions?
  9. Umm...the design is certainly unusual, but the model looks to be well done and the hood ornament is a thoughtful touch. Thanks for sharing it with us.
  10. I have had a blast going through my display cabinet dedicated to Le Mans racers. I just saw this Dino - Ferrari V6 from 1965. The kit was a Hasegawa that I added Cox wheels and tires to it. If I am not mistaken, you could build the kit either as a spyder or a coupe. Nothing spectacular but kind of cute.
  11. Very nice one Rich. My wife saw a Michaels ad today for the Revell kit and now yours has pushed me over the edge. Guess where I am going tomorrow morning.
  12. Very sweet build. Thanks for sharing it with us.
  13. Now there are two very interesting projects you have planned. Really looking forward to seeing pictures of both. P.S. I am your age.
  14. Very well done. I like the backdrop too.
  15. Way cool, approaching sinister. The garage is appropriate too.
  16. Ferrari GTOs at Le Mans Revell body on an Aurora chassis Original BBurago Gunze Sangyo review model by Wayne Moyer restored K&B Body on a Protar Chassis Jouef
  17. Helmut, I am trying to remember where the wheels came from and they might have been one of the Lotus Indy car kits, AMT Lotus 29, not sure though. The tires are from the Academy/Minicraft kit. Another option might be either the BBurago or Revell 250LM diecasts which have engines and more chassis detail. This is the Revell 250LM
  18. How about 2 Ferrari 330 P2s from 1965. #18 is a K&B body on an Academy 250LM chassis and interior as entered by NART. #20 is a Strombecker body also on an Academy 250LM chassis and interior as entered by the factory.
  19. Super nice save '60 convertible.
  20. Interesting mix of parts there Rex. Is that a Galaxy taillight?
  21. Oh yes, I like it a lot! The build comments are welcome too.
  22. Extremely well done. Every time I look at the photos, I see something else to be impressed with.
  23. Well done on the LW. I especially like the way you detailed the engine and trunk.
