All possible compliments (and a few more x 2)

Sometimes I do not paint the outside, just polish if the plastic is of good finish, no sink marks or "weld lines" from the material flow. This to avoid problems with dust and brushmarks In those cases I paint the inside in the approximately same colour as the outside , this to avoid the "shine through" discusses above. Particularlily neccessary on bonnets with thin sections for making cut outs for hood scoops. Also the bonnets can have major variations in material thickness due to the inner structure. If one paints the inside dark grey or black to emulate either painting or sound dampening that will be visible from the outside if not painted as example white if the exterior is planned to be white. The same goes for the roof: if the inner headliner is supposed to be dark , first paint a couple of layers of the exterior color before applying the dark colour. What is then gained by this: You get a tidy model exteriorwise, with a not as high gloss as with paint but which can be of quite realistic gloss, i.e for older cars , especially race cars. The painting of the inside does not require the same wotk on the finish as on the exterior = is simpler. Laziness ? Perhaps .... On cars with decals on I put a layer of clear.

The Bizzarini 5300 or the Iso Rivolta wouls certainly be tempting ...

Thanks for kind comments / G

From the AMT double kit Box stock + a few wires

Would be nice if they in the future released a GTZ / Tubolare , aka "Mini GTO". The body and most of the chassis are of course different, but probably some components could be common with the GTA.

Agree with Richard on the Karmann Ghia Also the Morgan And the 50's jaguars

Re wkipedia: in 1915 Erwin "Cannon ball" Baker drove from NYC to the West Coast in or perhaps rather "on" a Bearcat in 11 days 7 hrs and 15 min Imagine driving across the continent sitting w/o practically any protection and on the roads as they were at that time. Required some determination.

Thank you all for kind comments

Ooops Sorry It is 1/25 / Gunnar

Re question above: It is 1/24

The MPC model, an old one The decals of the pinstriping wwere not possible to use, so it is plain yellow, the left front wheel somewhat distorted including one of the spokes broken, but managed to push backto position. Almost. The right front fender was also distorted downward/inwards. Again some determined pressure etc.... Almost Anyway a nice kit to build EDIT : apparently something strange in the first post, despite looking ok in my computer when posting The photos apparently were transferred to some long text files /"links"afterwards, though i found it was actually possible to see the photos by clicking on a small symbol which appeared after clicking on the long text files. Did it in another way now, hopefully it works now but the first photo is small for some reason / can´t enlarge it Anyway...

Soooo beautiful How did you create the upholstery pattern ?

Nice!

The 1959 Ferrai 250 GT coupe by Pinin Farina The first Ferrari built in a regular production process, though still in small volumes. A very beautiful car in a restained way, no flash , just very elegant, a design with nothing to add , nothing to take away.
