Tiger Cobra Duo
Pierre Rivard replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
And some work started on the interior with building up gauges. Using thin wires for bezels and Micro Krystal Clear for simulating glass. -

Ferrari 250 GTO / Pontiac GTO-powered
Pierre Rivard replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in WIP: Model Cars
GTO powered GTO...took awhile to sink in but I dig it. Will follow with great interest! -
Wow Mark, this is a superb build. Thanks for showing it again. Need a tip from you, how did you make the deck lid tie down?

Magnifier 1/12 Ford GT 40 Done !
Pierre Rivard replied to cobraman's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Despite the fit issues it has turned out great. You could display it in a shop type setting with front & rear panels removed and standing against a wall behind the car. This way you can see both the great paint finish and the beautifully exposed chassis / mechanical bits. -
Looks fine on there pictures. Look forward to see it polished and decaled.

Tiger Cobra Duo
Pierre Rivard replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Feeling a little stuck on this duo build, so I did these go give me hope that there is a finish line somewhere out there. -
Congrats Tim, this is a beautiful model, like all of your's are.
-
I hope you find a way through this issue and not lose this great build. PM me if there is anything I can do to help.

Félicitations Thierry! This is a worderfully detailed model...or models. The chassis itself is a wonderful model. It took 2 kits but definitely worth it.

Magnifier 1/12 Ford GT 40
Pierre Rivard replied to cobraman's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
It's not you, it's the kit. The panel contours and curvature just don't match. It's a shame to be faced with this after all the great work you put on this model. -

Thanks Mark. Now moving faster on chassis work, interior next and keeping my favorite (body paint & decals) for last. -

Thank you Ken. I met Lafleur (briefly) years ago, the nicest and most unassuming superstar ever. I was there at Notre Dame when Gilles won for the first time in 78. A lucky win but it made up for all the previous bad luck. F1 was amazing back then, with all these cars looking different from each other and all various engine's sound signatures. Every year 5 or 6 different drivers would win races. -
1966 Chaparral 2E
Pierre Rivard replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Beautifully done Rich. I've seen a few of these Fisher kits presented but never seen one for real. Seems like they are nice but require work and skills to get good results. Obviously you have these qualities! -
Salvino's Pre-Production Richard Petty 1971 RoadRunner
Pierre Rivard replied to Art Laski's topic in NASCAR
Beautiful build Art. I'm no expert but the body appears to be a good representation of the real car. The one thing holding me back is their poorly designed generic chassis/engine that just does not cut it for me. -

Engines are always a struggle for me and I am happy they are finally done. I am disappointed is with the Shapeways 3D printed Webbers. I purchased the "high detail" option but they are coarse and poorly shaped. Check out pic 3 if you ever wondered why Cobras handled better than Tigers... -
I like how you added much realism to this basic 1 piece underbody/chassis. Looks really nice. If I understand right you polished the color coat before you put on the clear layer? That's different from how I do it but looks like you are making it work.
