  1. Another exceptional build Chris, and it just happens to be one of my all time favourite colour schemes. They just looked so good back then!! Dave B
  2. Great build Jim, I'm glad someone else found the rear framework a pain, I seem to recall giving up on mine!! Dave B
  3. Pierre, that build is incredible, it's just so good. I have a basic Capri RS 2600 that I have thought of trying to improve but you've scared me off, just wouldn't be as good an improvement. Dave B
  4. Great looking build Tim. Had this year's ago but it certainly wasn't as nice as yours. Dave B
  5. Rich, appears to be the same kit but mine has vented rear guards which reflect the prototype? Found the tyres now need to procure wheels. After 45+ years it's a little broken but restorable. Dave PS, we have both wired the plug leads incorrectly, each distributor supplies each of the 8 cylinders. Have to fix mine!!
  6. That looks great Rich, an incentive to rebuild my 1/16 after I finish the 1/24 that is!! Forgot it had so much detail, and you're right about the wheels and tires. Dave B
  7. That looks really good Bruce, you should be pleased with the outcome. Look good on my shelf!! Dave B
  8. Spectacular Pierre!!! Dave B
  9. Looks great Helmut, they are one of the prettiest sports racers of the period and yours has done it justice. Love it. Dave B
  10. Looking good Helmut, you must be pleased, it's come a long way from when you posted the old green version on my P68 build!!!! Dave B
  11. Another great build Matt, this one using the old, but great, Merit kit a basis. The wire wheels, and your modifications, make an enormous improvement. Dave B
  12. Sorry, I missed the finished post, been away, that looks great Rich. All that time was worth it!! Dave B
  13. Great builds Gary, I'm a sook, I've never attempted to carve a model from wood, they're exceptional! Dave B
  14. Looking really good Bruce, had one way back when they were first released. Dave B
  15. That's fantastic Matt, tks for posting the set!! Dave B
  16. That pinstripe worked really well Helmut, congratulations. Dave B
  17. Shawn, since you are printing your own panels are you going to include the pie cut nose? Dave B
  18. Ah, Abarth, what a magician!! Looks good Pat, tks for sharing. Dave B
  19. Rich, are you sure you're not pulling our legs and this is actually 1:2 scale!! Dave B
  20. That looks good Eran, it's always nice to get a printed model looking good. Dave B
  21. Yet again another great looking build Matt. I hope you do a Roy Cross tribute post when you finish the W196 showing them all together. Dave B
  22. I had basically finished the interior based on a standard Stradale but since I intend to base the build on the mythical blue Stradale it's incorrect. As Phil's printer broke down and I didn't get my wheels or glass moulds I'm going to cut up the interior so it at least reflects the Stradale I'm building. Dave B
  23. Great build Matt and I love you answer to the carburetion and mesh. Also your epoxy in the goggles is an OLD trick, doing that to slot car drivers back in the 60's. Dave B
  24. Ok, have shot some white and it doesn't look too bad so after a fine sand it will be blue, tks Helmut. Hope to get the wheels and glass moulds tonight so I'll be able to progress further very soon, I hope. The interior won't be exact but it will have to do. The blue Stradale was a special order and included seats from a helicopter!! When sold it was painted red by its new Japanese owner and subsequently disappeared. Thankfully it's now blue again.
