Brizio

Little progress... The new springs... The black one are the one that came with the kit.

Thank you Scalper!

Thank you! Today I painted the wheels (only primer) so tomorrow if I have enough color I can probably paint in the final color. Thank you for think about this project! In another forum where I write, they told me to move back the engine for clearance, so the hood, radiator can fit better.

Thank you! Yep, the big problem is to remove the old glue, that who started this kit put A LOT of it! But fortunately I found some spare parts, and for the other sand paper or Dremel... The spoke wheels are very nice, and it is a long work to build them, but when you catch on it is kind of easy assemble them. BTW, toke me one hours and 30 minutes to build each wheels... I still need to build the spare tire, because the old rims has too much glue. I don't remember where i read that (IIRC) Wal-Mart had those kit on sale at $20-30, some time ago... Now you can find some on internet, but are kind of pricy... I think, this kit is a nice, fun challenge for a modeler.

The engine on his engine stand with head and oil pan. It has also the gasket between head/oil pan and block... This is an adjustment of the oil pump... And here the new alternator, and new alternators mouth. The alternator was scratch build, here it is on the engine, and need only a little belt. I start to paint the engine, what do you think? New spark plug from ModelMotorCars For work better on the chassis, I made a chassis stand. Also on the chassis I made the first support and the two brackets. I add to the engine part of the horn, and bracket.

Some more pics... After a bad experience, were I bought some parts online that were missing in this kit, but didn't showed up nothing. Thanks God, I was able to receive a refund (through Paypal)... At least the money came back... After contacting half world, for find parts, I was able to find some, some I'm still looking for others... But I hope with time and patience I will be able to find all.. The engine was missing all the internal parts, not that matter too much, because when it is done you can't see inside... But I like to build it with them inside, and I was lucky to find pistons, rod etc., in Italy... Here the first part, I used grease on them just for help a free movement... Probably was not necessary... But who knows... Here on the motor, with the metal ring. There are some error on the engine mount, like in this side, it was square, but it is supposed to have a shape like in pics, because there will go the steering box. Also I build the steering box mount and changed the position of the air intake mount. Here a view about the engine with some work done... The top and bottom are covered for protect the internal parts for the paint. For help the work on it, and carry it, I build a fantasy engine stand.

Time ago a member of my club gave to me a old model kit, about a 1/8 Pocher Alfa Romeo 8C 2600 Mille Miglia, Scuderia Ferrari. The kit was already started, and some parts are missing, also there are some spare parts like the Alfa Romeo 8C Touring body. I found some parts on ebay :'( , but still not enough. The model after deconstruction, waiting for a bath... One of the problem was the spoke wheels, who build them used a lot of glue (I think tube glue) instead to use the spoke wheels nipples, that don't require glue. So I was able to save the spoke but the other parts not. Except the metal part... Thanks to a guy in another forum I was able to find new wheels parts... After thinking and thinking, I decide to try to build those wheels... It is king of difficult I need to admit, above all the instructions are not very helpful... 3 different spoke were used for make one wheels... But when you get it, it is kind of easy... Here the different spokes, and nipples... 60 Nipples and 60 spokes for each wheels... For help the assemble there is this piece. Some steps assembling the spoke wheels. And finally the wheels done... Need only a air valve... Total part used 142!!!

Nice score... But... :D

Yep, there are a lot of great-crazy stuff!!! And also I miss those kind of buildings...

Cool! Some gs are very nice! I like the airplane one!

Good lucking truck!!! You don't see many of those build!

Thanks!

I'm looking to one for a friend of mine. But after a quick search, seems that there aren't... Anybody can help? thanks!

I think too that would be better wait all the models before voting. @Diymirage, maybe (this because you proposed/organized this community build) you should find all the model's pics (the finished one)that are in this community build, and paste in this topic. Just for have ll them in the first page. Just a though...

This is my Wild Bee (69 Super Bee)... I had a lot of fun building this car... I scratch-build: the rear trailer, except the horse, all the intakes and turbos on the engine, guns, horn, lowered the car, steering wheels, key knob, gear shift, saddles, door rest, door handle, pedals, rear cover, horse shoe, rear rifle carrier, guitar, tow package, exhaust, wipers engine, other stuff on the engine compartment, broom, water bucket... The wheels are made by 3 parts. Some other parts are modified... Like front grille. The twin Turbo 426... Follow... The Trailer with the stripes... The box for carry it...

That's nice!!! Good job, I really like it! Also the color combo!

Very very nice!

I should have the chassis draw for the short one (90). Or do you need the 110? Tonight I'll look what I can find.

Which Land Rover? 88, 90, 109, 110, Defender, Discovery, etc, etc...

Amazing!!!

Very nice job!

I'm building the same engine, but I couldn't find the correct motor block color, which one did you used? Thanks!

Looks nice! Do you know where I can find some reference pics about this car? Thanks!

Great job! Gilles was one of my favorite F1 driver!

Great job! Remind me one I drove.
