I just finished these for a client. These were both built box stock.
This 212 Coupe was one of two that ran the Carrera Panamericana in 1951. The Resin kit was made by Modeli Verona.
The 712 Can Am is an older white metal kit from Mini Racing.
Your off to a great start. Nice clean surgery on the body. Welcome to the sight & to building cars. Those robot kits sure are fun & challenging to build & paint. I tried a couple of the Bandai 1/60th scale Pat Labor kits back in the 1990's.
What a cool build! Great Idea & very unique. Very clean work. That's some real dirty paint! Just like dropping fresh painted parts on a rug! The bubble top douse look pretty wild, though.
