    There was an article a number of years ago in Road & Track about a 'model builder' that was facinating. It centered on ths builder and his super realistic cars. Turned out, he stole real cars and actually shrunk them down. Wish I had that article. It was very well written. Juha's cars remind me of that. Perry

    Oh, my. Aluminium siding. Perry

    Looking really nice. How about a bare metal foil surface? That would look sweet. Perry

    Very cool. Good for her, and it's a nice clean build. Something I'm still working at doing. Perry

    AMT '69 Corvair

    gbtr6 replied to Tcoat's topic in Model Cars

    I did like it. It was a Monza, with a 3 speed on the floor. Pretty sporty for a kid in high schrool. Perry

    Yeah, FDS are not really great quality. Same or worse with John Day. Great progress and they can be made to look great. A set of BBR wires would dress it up. Perry

    AMT '69 Corvair

    gbtr6 replied to Tcoat's topic in Model Cars

    Very nice. I did the same thing with the '69. Mine was a '65 and it was a four door. Had to do some surgery. Used a '67 Camaro top. Close enough. Mine I got for $75, only needed a battery. I sold it a few months later for$150 to the neighbors so I could buy a TR4. The right front wheel fell off it after I sold it. Kind of awkward with the neighbors for a while. Now I have to do a TR4.

    Some more progress. Tameo kits are engineered well, and go together like Tamiya kits, just smaller. They are intense, need to only work on it a few hours then walk away. There is photo etch sides to the cockpit, and the brakes are made of 6 pieces. I like the vented detail. Hard to see. Perry

    It is 1/43. I am trying to get better at clean building. I have to have patience, and use tools. Perry

    Starting work on the Tameo Williams FW07, Regazzoni. It’s pretty simple, no engine. Nice detail and fit, typical Tameo high quality. The green decal looks all wrinkly but it looks great in person. Perry

    Let me check. I may have a spare. Is it like the McLaren M23 style? What is it closest to in diameter and width. Perry

    That really came out pretty. Nice job. Perry

    Bruce, Here's a freshly painted 330 Gt in Nocciola. Damn sexy. Perry

    Just getting back to post the finish of this car. Was a fun build. Pictures of final assembly and with big brother. Perry

    Bruce, look forward to seeing it. Should be spectacular. Perry

    Nice, it does have the copper undertones. It looks great on many vintage Ferrari's. Perry

    This is my vote on color. Dare to be different. It's called Nocchiola.

    That's Tameo's line, World Champion Tameo. All F1 World champs. Super kits. More detail than normal Tameo kits. Perry

    Started another Tameo WCT kit. Lotus 25 of Jim Clark. Much more simple than other WCT kits, but still lots of detail. As always, Tameo quality. Perry

    I contacted someone on that and they are working on a 3D print TR4, which I also had, and a TR6. I'll have to follow up and see what's happening. I have a 1/18 scale die cast that I am building like my car. Only one besides 1/43 I know of so far. I like to get one too. My wife likes to ride in mine, but likes her Z4 to drive better. Perry

    Wow, the decals all look like PE in the pictures. I may have to get this kit too. I've had my 6 since '77. Did a frame off about 25 years ago. I keep the top down and drive it every day there's no rain. Better get one before you retire and stash it and stock up on parts. Perry

    Thanks Steve. I appreciate it. And Steve did a great job packing the built ups for their trip across the pond. Great person on our board. Perry
  23. gbtr6
    Really nice build, beautifully done. Did you use painted aftermarket PE logos?If so, which ones? Perry
  24. gbtr6
    I have to recuse myself. Almost didn't remember this one. Perry
  25. gbtr6
    Finished up. Pretty happy with it. On to a McLaren M23 super kit. Perry
