Question, after you wound the wire on the bolt did you apply the glue then or after removing the bolt, or use a release of some sort before working the bolt out? Still Amazed!

One word of caution, ok, more than one word, the CA clue can fog aluminum and some clear parts depending on composition of the material.

SM? are you using the guitar strings for brake lines? Spectacular work.

What a tidy package, Love the alternator drive of the axle shaft!

What a Gem!!! Thanks for sharing. 3D is the wave of the future, now if they could only do away with the supports. Maybe a project for the space station and zero G?

Boy, takes one back.. I think the earliest was helping Dad build a 20 mule team borax wagon set that you could get with box tops. Helped Mom with a one of the Knight in armor kit. Don't remember which was my first model I built myself, probably the USS Olympia, in 6th grade. First car I remember was in 61 when I built an AMT 32 pickup which I chopped the top on using a hacksaw and gluing thread to the distributor for plug wires, inspire I expect by an article in Model Car Science. And all us boys of an age got Big Ts for Christmas the first year they were available. Alas all gone except the memories and magazines.

Need to set that printer up to 1200 dpi. Amazing detail work as always Andrew!

Oh the joys and potential of hi res 3D printing! Look forward to seeing how this kit builds. Thanks.

Every medium has its plus and minus. First you have to visualize the hoard of zombies attacking the airport. Take the difference between pencil and pen & ink..

Thanks Ken, it started life as a wooden banister finial ball, some scrap blocks of wood and cardboard... and a dream.

Perseverance pays off! Very nice New Yorker. I wonder how may pink cars they sold. My 64 GMC Had a similar pink color.

my hand painted background, hand made model with digital rocket trail.

Learn something new every day. That is one Cool car, what a great build and trailer display, I love the color scheme and . Wonderful detail detail work all around!

I think you are missing the rubber gasket on the oil filter. Bad leakage to follow. How do you get the wonderful markings on the water hoses and plug wires? Very clean, amazing details!!!

Yesterday on COZI TV they had a 50th anniversary tribute to Emergency with interviews of Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe. Probably able to catch it on rerun or youtube. Great Tribute to a ground breaking show!

You maquette me laugh...Harryhausen Lives!

Would Jurassic park been better with hand painted dinosaurs? The same "is it art" controversy that has raged for eons. New tools new styles. Are 3D printed models less viable than hand mastered or mass produced kits?

some days are just like that an you got to know when to fold them and walk away. Very Nice job all the same Pat. The injected Ardun V12 would definitely make it jump.

the first couple of time around I missed the mini key chain on the silver bike! Great fotki build pics too. Thanks agin, did you do the 3D work too?

Thank you for the lead on Renaissance models, a vendor I had not heard of. It appears that the have wheels for the 35 and 51 but included in the 51 wheels are the detachable rims as on the 35 wheels. these would be a good source for wheels to re=work the Bburago type 55 to something more acceptable. After checking my Conway "Grand Prix Bugatti" and Haynes owners' manual it appears the the 35 did have larger breaks in late versions. I expect that, even as today's teams, upgrades were pretty much on going. Viva Le Mark

That's OK, some of us have been fanatics for a long long time. An appreciation of the make is all that 's necessary. Us old guys would say something like... I am surprised that the Targa Florio car shown has the larger breaks than the early 35s!

Ralph Nader would ha quashed it.

The old Monogram kits come up on thE bay often. prices vary. Wheels are really type 51.

Then there is the best of both worlds! After years of burning 18-20 rolls of 36 shot 35mm only to get 4 or 5 good shots, scanning them for cropping and final touch up, I welcome the digital photography. Hand art vs. digital art is like is like apples and plumbs. Each has it's place in the art world just a different tool to an end. Picasso/Pissarro

To my eye the MFH kit tires look bulky for the 35's and detract from the overall look. From what I've seen of the Italeri 1/12 Alfa and Jason's Fiat kits they get the ratios spot on. Cant wait for the release and the press photos.
