First set of out laced Borrani style wheels printed by Jason. I expect these will be added to his store in a near future.

Hang in there Mark. Keep in mind that you take on projects requiring extensive transformations to properly replicate the chosen subject. Research, scratch building and modifications invariably takes more time than we plan for. I like you tend to migrate to subjects requiring a lot of modifications and it is testing my patience so I get it. You'll get there.

Wheels are here! painted Vallejo flat aluminium, mounted on tires (from the spares box) and weathered to have "end of race" look Calling this one done!

Both of these are great builds and they make a wonderful tandem. I love how you painted the truck, it gives it the perfect period look of sun faded paint.

Beautiful build, you have achieved a great replica of the real car. I am most impressed with the instrument panel with the gauges and wood paneling (decal?). it looks very realistic.

Thanks Randy. As soon as my wheels arrive I'll paint/weather a set and post here. I think they should be a good candidate for your Maserati.

Car is done, just waiting not so patiently for the wheels to make it across the pond. ?

Working suspension, that's scratch building extraordinaire!

Wonderful build and it's always fun to get the story of the real car this replica is based on. These were big performers on the NASCAR scene but it's hard to imagine it could compere in road racing. John Raeburn must have been a really good driver.

Body looks impeccable and color spot on for french blue. Great work.

Wow Paul, amazing build. Looks 1/1. The MFH kits come with an amazing level of detail but you need an expert to assemble one the way you did. I really miss Formula 1 of that era. Today's cars are big and all look the same. Whoever can figure out the better floor edge winglet design will dominate...

Gorgeous, paint looks like it's still wet.

Technology and artistry joining forces in a spectacular way. Incredible replicas of historic race cars.

I always enjoy your beautiful builds Mario. I was waiting for a non James Bond version to be released but your artfully converted the kit. Too bad Revell did not get the shape of the body quite right, especially the roof and greenhouse. Hard to understand with today's scanning and design tools.

Another wonderful GT40 Mr Dauphinee. The mods on the engine cover and dual carb setup look very well integrated. Unfortunate about the brittle decals, what was the source for these?

I'm happy you decided to keep the cream/black theme as it looks very very good. I can see it on the lawn at Ascott... Curious about your polishing. Do you wet sand a bit or go straight to the compounds?

Wow, it looks fantastic. Really worth the wait.

Jason Hupin (Jack Modelling) has just printed these for me. I should receive them in about 7-10 days. Last piece of the puzzle!

I like the Santa Cruz. Unless you have to tow big loads it makes so much more sense than a full size pick up. The Hyundai/Kia group has come up with a lot of great vehicles in recent years Congratulations!

Engine looks mighty good Ken. I love your upgrades on the front end and the mix of colors and textures. It adds a lot of realism to it. I agree with you, perhaps a push rod against Ferrari's twin cams, but also 7 vs. 4 liters.

Quite possibly Ace, you know that stuff better than me. It's just that I've had much better results with Canopy glue... Maybe It's just in my mind. OK, gotta go, shrink appointment...?

Canopy glue. Wipe off anything oozing out with a wet Q-tip and this way you can glue it to the glass without damaging it.

Tamiya... I need relief from complicated builds after the Alfa 8C, Ferrari 250swb and MB 300SLR...

You got me curious and into research mode. The 2 cars featured in the Mille Miglia are Ferraris and were owned by Fox Studios and entered in the 54 race (no results though). This enabled them to get race footage in addition to the studio work. Both of them are still "with us"

A beautiful build Thomas and your display/photo setup looks so real one could think it is a real full size race car. Well done!
