JIM MAKAR'S MERCURY MONTEGO DRIVEN BY MORGAN SHEPHERD
Pierre Rivard replied to gks1964's topic in WIP: NASCAR
Body and paint look superb Gerald. I'd love to see this in Petty blue or just all black! ? -
For what it's worth Ray, I think matte white will be better than chrome for these.
-
Thank you gents. I am very happy with the results. The decals arrived today. Thanks Gary for pointing me to the right supplier. When I bought they were pictured on a red background but It was a nice surprised to see them printed on a clear film. So polish the body, decals & installing body trim pieces is all that is left to do.

Shelby Cobra 1963 Le Mans Coupe
Pierre Rivard replied to Gramps46's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
very nice Gary. Thanks for sharing these builds from the past. -
I used to do it with my DSLR but now I just use my iPhone. Not as crisp as a good DSLR on tight close ups but so easy to use and good post processing features

1/8 Pocher Lotus 72
Pierre Rivard replied to Chris Smith's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Superb work as always Chris. The weathering you have done to the chassis and engine gives it a lot of life. The front wheels look a bit odd on this Pocher kit. I don't know if it is the color or shape... and were they still using spinners then? -
Alpine Renault A110
Pierre Rivard replied to TonyK's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Beautiful build Tony. Tamiya has captured the look of this car very well. -
Simple, it combines the effort to do something artistic and my love for 60's race cars. I love the chase for information about a specific car at a race venue then go about to replicate this moment in history to the best of my ability. Lastly I very much enjoy all the exchanges with fellow builders, mostly on this forum.

Precise, exquisitely detailed replica. Most of us are just assembling kits but you my friend are a true model builder. Nothing less than masterful! I prefer scotch whisky and I'll drink one in your honor, not that I need an excuse but... ?

1954 Jaguar D Type - Archive
Pierre Rivard replied to Gramps46's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
This is seriously, seriously good stuff sir! That's a big transformation you took on and it has come together so so good. And the way you painted it, it looks like a fifties race car, smooth but just a bit of restraint on the gloss. When did you build it? I hope you will keep pulling stuff from the vault for us to enjoy. -
Thanks fellows. I surprised myself with these straps, I made them without a firm how to plan in about 4 hours. I think it's the story of this build, trying stuff I've not done before and so far nothing has back fired on me. Next step is fabricating the interior. Very visible with the open cockpit so I'll need to give it some love.
-
Yeah, that one is way cool. Looks exactly like a car the owner would prefer to spend time driving rather than finishing (trim, numbers etc.)

Lotus XI, Merit, 1/24
Pierre Rivard replied to Matt Bacon's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
That is a beauty Matt. I love the added realism with the added driver figurine. Top notch effort, makes me want to start looking for old Merit kits! How did they change tires on these cars? -
Pledge Floor Care with Future
Pierre Rivard replied to Joe Handley's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Running out of Future and I too have been looking for a replacement. I've used Quick Shine as a final seal coat on my last project. It brushes on even easier than Future but it appears to be a little less glossy. For me it has not worked on glass, no adhesion, so I'll keep my limited supply of Future for that. -
It sure is. And don't do the little Delage stunt of just posting a so so picture of the car in this section saying it's all done. We demand a complete set of pictures in the under glass section...or else...??

Yup, saw that. I also need to fab new amber side markers above the front wheel opening. The molded markers disappeared with the fender shape change I did. Just fabricated (sitting on the tape column below) but not glued to the body. About the wheels, working with Jason at Jack Modeling on making in laced Borranis for future Ferrari builds.
