  1. Progress is slow..
  2. I'm looking forward to a full day of work today.
  3. I wake up to the smell of Bondo dust in the morning...
  4. Slapping on the bondo.
  5. Good article on the car: https://winstongoodfellow.com/ferrari-330-gtc-speciale-living-like-royalty/#!
  6. Here is a link to the Photobucket of Niko Neimi, who mastered the 500 Superfast. Scroll down to find the Superfast: https://s20.photobucket.com/user/nniemi/library/Scale Kraft 212MM?page=1
  7. Airtrax did the 500 Superfast, I don't have the Perma-grit cutters.
  8. The de Rethy car styling is a continuation of Pinifarina's top of the line extended nose/ oval opening started in 1957 with the Superfast; and used in all special coachbuilt cars as the 1964 500 Superfast and 1966 365 California Spyder. However, it incorporated the extended C-pillar of the upcoming 1968 Dino. Pf stylists are not well known, but I think all are the work on Aldo Brovarone.
  9. Sometimes I use a jewelers file, sometimes a weed rasp.
  10. Ha! If I had a cad file of this, I would print it and it would literally snap together. And I've done it - see my Fiat Supersonic.
  11. Implant surgery complete.
  12. Four of these bodies were built; here is some info from coachbuilt.com: https://www.coachbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1786
  13. Maybe, maybe not.
  14. The nose is easy, it's the rear that's hard.
  15. Check my drawing, which I've done in 1/24th to help visualize the model and dimension the parts I will replace. The roof and the rear of the model will be built of high density urethane.
  16. Not close enough.
  17. A comparison of the size of the two cars. I'll have to stretch the resin body, one way or another.
  18. I have started a WIP thread about modifying an Airtrax 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC to the de Rethy 330 GTC Speciale.
  19. On the workbench: Modifying an Airtrax Ferrari 330 GTC coupe to the magnificent Princess de Rethy 330 GTC Speciale.
  20. For those interested in buying, here is a Facebook page for testing resin printers, it's very informative: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theslachannel/?ref=bookmarks
  21. The 1//24th kit was made by Marcelllo Figliozzi several years ago and is very good. Don't know if it would be available, PM me for his email.
  22. Are you interested in a model of that Maserati clone or a Maserati A6G? A Maserati A6G in 1/24 has been produced. I see no reason to make a model of the clone.
  23. Produced by Umi Modelwerks about 25 years ago, 1949 Ferrari 166MM. Ferrari's first le Mans winner.
