Hello, I recently joined MCM. Before posting my first wip, I would like to show a few pictures of my latest build. A 1/12 scale Alfa Romeo 8c from Italeri. As a reference car, I choosed an actual 1934 Alfa that was recently sold in California. I have yet to receive the custom made decals. Here is a quick review of what was done: Rewired wheels Real leather upholstering 3d modelerd and 3d printed internal engine parts (engine actually turns) Functioning brake linkage Cam shaft added All interior to match ref car And many more details working brake linkage 20230327_202533.mp4 working internal engine parts(not in kit) 20230509_163541.mp4 20230311_220549.mp4 ref car

Hello, my name is François, I'm an almost 60 frenchy from Québec. Back in the 70's and 80's, I used to do a lot on models, cars, trucks, formula... At 21, I decided to try my hand at a wooden boat. It went great until I meet my wife 6 months later(we are still married!)but lets say that the boat building wasn't my priority anymore. I set it aside for 38 years!! I finally finished it last july. Since then, I did a WW1 1/16 scale plane, a fully scratch built 1/16 scale sail boat( a reproduction of a 24 footer that I actually built for a friend in 2012), and a 1/8 scale scratch built wooden kayak. Why am I interested in a car model forum you might ask? Well after the kayak, I decided to a build 1/12 scale Bentley blower. And after some Web searching, stumbled on a wip of one of your members, John Teresi, of a blower build. I was pretty impressed with the reasult. But before starting a somewhat complex projet as the blower (a lot of modifications/details to add) and since it had been many years since my last plastic car model, I decided to try my hand at the Italeri 1/12 scale Alfa Romeo 8c 2300. It's now done am I'm now starting the bentley. Well that's it for my winded intro. Where should I post my build log for this project, any particular section? Can I add links to the photo galeries of my different projects ? If so, where? Thank you
