    Incredible build Tomasz. Such gorgeous detailing but what always impresses me with your builds is how each component is always uniquely and perfectly weathered. Definitely the most real looking builds I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of your work.

    Incredible,,, speechless,,,

    Some of the exterior detailing elements. Please take note that this is a gentleman's racing club. Elegance is a pre-requisite...so we keep the bumpers!
  4. Pierre Rivard
    Yup, Graham Hill, the ultimate gentleman racer driving a Jaguar. Works for me!

    Thank you Alan, I was not too sure but now I really like the red on dark green theme.

    I don't wait for his store inventory to be updated (he has yet to show the outlaced Borranis he developped at my request months ago). I just e-mail Jason (contact.jackmodelling@gmail.com) with my requests and he emails me a PayPal invoice, then the parts come in in 7-10 days.

    Thanks Mark. Finish is not my best but acceptable. Mostly due to my lack of experience preparing a metal body.

    Body has been polished, decals added and Quick Shine seal coat applied. Mating of body to chassis was uneventful and the stance looks correct for this car. What's left is body detailing (lamps, wind screens etc), and I need to see which kit parts will need a bit of upgrading.

    Thank you Ken. I'm happy I added the driver as he adds a bit of detailing to otherwise a rather simple kit.

    Jim, I suggest you try brushing it on, it is incredibly easy and leaves no brush marks. I clean the brush first with dishwasher soap and then clear water. This is brushed on 2 days after I polished the clear coat underlay and applied decals.

    Sorry for late response RM, I have had the same issue with cracks in the finish with Future (even though the clear under was acrylic). Since adding a week's time for the clear to fully cure before polish & decals and then another 2 days before Future has solved that. Same process now with Quick Shine and no issues.

    Hard work has paid off, the body looks mighty good. I love a mock up mid way through. Confirms all is still good buts mostly provides motivation to carry on.

    Looks great Matt. The wheels painted black really look the part and adding some detailing will add tons of realism. Cool project! Where did you find the driver figure? Looking for a good source for these.

    Here it goes

    Ok then, with a mustache!

    Anybody has experience with the Profil 24 Aston Martin DBR1? I'm thinking this would be a good subject for my second (only) resin build but looking at pictures of the kit it looks very detailed... and very intimidating. The kit represents the 59 Le mans winner.

    Wonderful build, as all of your's are Tommy. I love group 5 racers and this one looks mighty good in this classic livery.
  18. Pierre Rivard
    To add...or not to add a driver, that is the question. To be answered later. Added leather color to rear spring gaiters per Gary's suggestion, and then the last bit of chassis work with fabrication of exhaust using 2.4mm styrene tubes and PE fasteners

    Always a risk when one winks at you...
  20. Pierre Rivard
    The instrument panel oozes realism... it positively looks full scale. So much to learn form your build techniques. Thank you for sharing your secrets!
  21. Pierre Rivard
    Absolutely sir, great suggestion!
  22. Pierre Rivard
    Chassis and engine stuff done. The chassis is only a 3 component set and the engine has 8 but the castings are pretty good. I just added some paint finish variations and mild weathering to give it some interest. Also I added some wiring and 3D printed (local supply) ignition coil and plug boots.
  23. Pierre Rivard
    Beautiful Camaro trio Rich. You have such a nice variety of builds that allow me to discover interesting kits I was not aware existed. Brings back nice memories of my days at the factory where we built the C/F 4's
  24. Pierre Rivard
    Drill baby drill!

    Wow, did not think that could be done with 2 mm (0,080 inch) rod without breaking it or it not maintaining the bend angle. Thank you professor Mark!
