  1. I just built two. E-type as raced at Le Mans in 62 and a Porsche GT1.
  2. Wonderful looking model Dave. May I suggest to add panel line to accentuate the door & hood openings and perhaps a wash on the wheels to add a bit of depth effect?
  3. Looks good Hanjo, and what a beautiful subject to build a model of. Any thoughts on what you want to do about wheels?
  4. Hi Jeremy, Steven's method may be more aligned to what you want to achieve but here's my way of doing it. Perhaps a bit too rusty for your needs though. Over time I have simplified the product list to what is shown here. All acrylic stuff. I paint the chassis various colors in a matte finish, liberal use of oily earth wash, Mix of Vallejo rust texture mixed with either dark flesh or red paint to get lighter/darker rust effects and then brushing in some tan or ochre pigments.
  5. Thank you for sharing this Steve. Oil, rust and dust. simple but very effective.
  6. That's a beautiful build Hanjo. The detailing seen everywhere adds so much realism to the model. Can't wait to see the rest of it.
  7. Yes Gary, hand laced wheels. The best looking wheels I've ever seen. Andy and Rich, thanks for the advice. This resin stuff is all new to me so I'm taking in all the info I can get.
  8. Very beautiful build and your photo setup is outstanding.
  9. Awesome. Beautiful detailing and perfect finishes.
  10. A new project. Taking this slowly with much research required about the specifics of this car. This will be my very first resin build so it comes with a mix of excitement and some worries on how to proceed. How to prepare surfaces, paints, glue etc. For now a picture of the subject and unboxing of the kit. Let the research begin. Advice about working with resin welcome!
  11. Oh Andy, you really have to take your act on the road. Endless possibilities. I love that Thank... Ok I guess I'm not joining the act... ?
  12. Looking forward to it. Hope you go for a racing version.
  13. Looks better and better Andy. That semi-curbside is getting so much detailing you might as well fabricate a complete chassis. No pressure but...
  14. Bonjour Francois, This fellow PQ resident is following your awesome Bentley work with great interest. I plan to do a 1/24 version so some upgraded parts from your shop would be welcome. For sure wheels to start with. salut!
  15. A real beauty and I agree, so nice to see a non red Ferrari. Color combo is stunning.
  16. Love it Bill. We learn something everyday don't we?
  17. Wow, that paint looks like it's still wet! It is a big car. I once saw a 1/18 Royale die cast and it looked like it was a 1/12. Huge!
  18. Single piece chassis made to look the part. Nicely done sir!
  19. Only built 2 so far. Basic kits plus a bit of TLC.
  20. No no no the clock is perfect...and will briefly show the right time twice per day!?
  21. Thanks, I plan a w.i.p. when it goes on the bench in the fall
  22. This should be splendid. Look forward to following this one!
  23. This just arrived from Portugal. I'm very excited yet a bit anxious as this will be my first resin build
