Superb in every respect! A great example of smashing through boundaries.

If you have existing photos too large to copy to the forum, you can use GIMP 2 to shrink the pixel count. Open the too-large photo in GIMP, then use Export As (under File) and set the export percentage at a low enough value (30 shrinks a 4 MB file to about 200 KB) and export to a new, shrunken, forum-ready file.

Excellent detail painting!

I use Dymo labeling tape for guiding straight razor saw cuts and scribing/deepening lines. This tape can also be cut to guide rounding corners. Dollar store degreaser at a buck a bottle is a good paint and mold release stripper. It won't strip some paints, but in my experience will do most over a few days.

I recently polished out a thumbprint in Model Master Acryl using Nu Scratch Doctor; it worked very well.

That is so true about cats. We have three and we also have elastic bands on all our kitchen cabinets, even the pair over the refrigerator. I, too, keep the door to my model room closed at all times.

W O W !!! Excellent in all respects. Just one question: do the tiny bags fit in there somewhere?

Outstanding!

Imagination and execution equals a great build.

That's the 28 part kit, not the full detail RG kit.

Love seeing a Miura!

What a great build!

Thanks for sharing - that is distinctive.

Superb detail painting!

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.

I can't remember when I started this but it's been quite a while. Almost all my own resin: body copied from the Orange Crate, skull gas tank highly modified from Jimmy Flintstone, tires, seats and valve covers from Indian die cast, wheels my custom from ?, etc.

Beautiful!

Nicely done. For freaky Cobras, I have built one as a bread wagon, one widened as a pseudo-Daytona, one with an orange crate body and reversed rear fenders (225 Mopar power).

Very clean and purposeful - a good custom.

Great work! A really nice blending, especially the tailgate area. A wagon conversion on a sedan with sloping rear fenders is tricky - yours is done well!

This is supposed to be a Hot Wheels prototype. It is almost all my own cast resin, except for some of the frame and the front suspension. The seats, cylinder heads and the gas tank lid are copied from a die cast Indian motorcycle. The body is my copy of the Revell Orange Crate. The rear suspension is my modified copy of a Cobra rear end. Although outlandish, I tried not to break too many engineering rules. The skull is loosely based on a freebie from Jimmie Flintstone. Enjoy (I hope)! P.S. I included copies of two Hot Wheels bits!

Gorgeous build!

Excellent work! This type of custom often suffers from the "tail droop" look, but this one is solid. Also good that you resisted putting oversized wheels and tires on it, instead going with realistic rubber. Could pass for stock.

Kudos for giving the front a realistic ride height. Wondering what you'll do for the rear. BTW. love your builds.

Bellissimo! I too have appreciated your Italian Horses website.
