    Beautiful work. takes me back the my visits to AF. I love that you did most of the build with laser cut wood reminiscent of the real cars. I didn't see any pics of the Grip mechanism, does it go down into the cable slot? Thanks for sharing.

    The also work well for automotive grade spot putty and lightly used xacto blades. I never thought when I stockpiled them that digital cameras would put an end to their availability.

    Scenic work, especially to match your level of detail, is a whole different animal. Do keep us in the loop on the scenic detailing if you can.

    Can't wait to see how you are gong to display them. ?

    No doubt about it, you need another paint combo! Should be easier to remove though.

    Somewhere lost in the stashes is a 1/43 John Shinton Spirit of America Sonic 1. I don't throw stuff away so it has got to be Somewhere in the house. Reference photo from the net.

    I remember going to an auto show when the Miura first came out in the 60s. The had an engine out on a stand and I then knew what heaven was. V12! Yes nice recovery from paint heck!

    600 is fine for somethings not so fine for others. Is that a Viper engine?

    Definitely needs one of Mad Miles Cosworths.

    Rod & Custom June 1965 had a how to article using the Auburn to make Boat Tail Duesenberg.

    Very cool even down to the life ring and perf catwalk tread. Beautiful hydraulics!

    There is also a Lindberg kit in 1/25th that has been reissued a couple of times. Way back in the 60s there was a article in one of the mags using the Auburn to make a boat tail Duesenberg out of the Monogram kit.

    Very Cool, but how do you adjust the valve lash on the intake rockers? Just kidding. Looks like you are having too much fun.
  21. Big John
    Like giant model kits! except you would need cranes to position the parts. Oh the logistics of it all. and a big bucket of yellow touch up paint.

    Or the Johnny Cash song 'One Piece At A Time'.

    I've always wanted to go to the Mine Expo show here in the states. Really want to do the setup and see how they get these beasts into the expo hall.

    Wild valve train detail and a very unique intake duct work being an integral part of the heads. Is this roughly based on a real layout or are you being tres creative? Wild stuff.
