Gorgeous job on that black paint, well done. To make your build more accurate and unique, so many other builds are missing the New Zealand Silver Fern on the right fender. And the wheels...

Can't wait to see this finished, those wire wheels are amazing.

Thanks Gary, after looking at the drawings, I'm really wishing someone would 3D print it....

HA !!! Loving the idea of starting with a fire truck. 1000x's better than starting from scratch !! Thanks bunches...

I need this in 1/24 scale. Resin, plastic, 3D printed, maybe even paper mache. It is a Fiat 640 truck. Even a kit with cab and chassis I could convert or add to I just think it would look great up on the shelf. Made in other scales, I can't find anything like it or similar in 1/24 scale, any thoughts? You 3D printer guys could really fill a niche......

As I said, stunning work Pierre. Since CLEARLY you are the master of the brush, I would suggest looking to other masters who have weathered with brush... Doesn't seem to be too much brake dust to worry about but bug and road splatters are there for sure. For the windshield I would pick you favorite bug color and thin so it is transparent. The car I would start with your silver darkened slightly and also transparent. Stipple both with a small fine sponge or little brush. Build up opacity as you see fit. Hope this helps, best of luck. Of course test out on spare windshields and bodies.

Beautiful, beautiful amazing work. What octane gasoline will you use in this?

Stunning work Pierre

I went to the spotmodel site and was shocked. Out of 97 photo etch wiper sets, they only had 13 available....and none are the pantograph. Thanks Steve. All out of stock and none the pantograph.

I don't know why this is so difficult for me to track down. Does anyone have a good source for pantograph wipers and racing seatbelt hardware in 1/24 scale? The little photo-etch sheet Paul included in his kits was PERFECT, that's what I'm looking for. Any thoughts?

Thanks for Gallimods, only an hour away.

Hi Rob, Good to hear from you again. I also prefer the olde Heller kit, what ever shapemissues there are can fixed. I'm surprised Fujimi got this wrong. They redid the Cobra and I still think the old Monogram is better. Just my 2cents. Have you finished any 917s yet, pics please.....

Sure Mark:

Beautiful job on that Porsche Mark, glad you went with the headlights and not covered over. One of my all-time favorites. I did a painting of that car posted in the "Auto Art" forum.

This is some of the most amazing modeling I've seen.
