Dragline

The wheels and steering wheel are the two issues I have with this edition. I'll raid my parts box for alternatives.

I have considered MFH but the 1/20 cost more than the Tamiya and full detail kit. I have the paint and the carbon fiber and tobacco decals for the same price. And it will be more detailed in the end. I get inspired to start it often, but I'll start it once my new hobby room is complete I am currently remodeling.

Beautiful work on this complicated beast. The paint is especially nice. I have the full detail TS kit to go along with mine. I wanted to go 1/12 but it was just too much money. I went 1/20.

I just purchased one of these. Great color choices. I wish it came with stock parts but no biggie. Nicely done.

Cooler than the other side of the pillow TB.

Epic Dio! So much to absorb, I may edit this down the road with more

Seriously cool design. The rear is particularly striking. Great finishes.

These prices though...

Those cracks seem shallow and surface as Ace said... But they get toasty I know. That's the reason they are there in the first place. I am willing to wager they are expensive and since they are a racing rotor all the more so. What surprises me is not carbon.

Stavanzer and I had a great trade. It is one of probably 20 for me in the 15 years I've been here. Strike that and make it 17 years here! How time has moved...

Pecker Stone? Honestly......

Saw this today. Best to just plan a trip to the bank into your day like we used to. Remember, convenience has its price.

The German grey is my fave scheme on these. Super tight builds.

Great car a superb build. I would be proud to say it was mine.

Really great. Yeah, Stokes is a masterpiece no question. But you nailed it quite nicely. Not sure I would attempt such a kit. I even chickened out of my Huayra kit and sold it.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer there Bob. I worked almost exclusively on Benz for 16 years and if this came into the shop I would have been dumbfounded. Actually I would have called and old friend who has since passed. He worked at Mattie VW and Viti Benz for what seemed like 100 years. He helped me when a 300SL came into my shop, I am certain he would have been a help with one of these. Although why one of these would be anywhere near my shop...... But saying that, why a 300SL came in is also one of those moments. Thanks for the history lesson and tech tip.

Great projects. I hope they come out as you have envisioned them.

TS-53 RULES! As said, it looks great on almost anything. Gonna be awesome!

OK. This is gonna be seriously cool.

Seriously old project that will get finished this year. I came across these pics and since I've been busy doing everything but building, I thought I'd at least post something cool. Off white with blue interior. A few plug wires and brake lines. This kit takes some patience, but it is rewarding me if I take the required steps to see everything is lined up and some thought has gone into things quite a few steps ahead. With those thoughts in mind you can get this result. Which I am proud of.

What a hopped up machine Nicely done.

Very nice Elky. I gotta ask. What does your stable look.like bro? For real, it must be extensive. Hows bout a pic or two?

Impeccably built brother. What a stunner. I didn't read the article so could you brief us on how you got there?

What a boat! Love the color.

Not exactly the most attractive ride is it? But man how you nailed it. Great detail and paint. The design though....just WOW..
