DeAgostini VW van. My friend Mark built this. 1/8 scale. Pretty cool.

Well I put some of the super snake together. What a kit! Just waiting for another pack to arrive. The paint work is great. I did do some painting of the door jam. Painted it testors white in a airbrush. I had a Shelby ,and leaving the door jam Black was not going to be on this car. Love the kit. The covid thing held up parts. Agora models let me know that future packs are on the way. Pretty cool service.

I agree, the motor is a piece of art.

Yes sir gtx6970. It is 1/8. I guess you can do a lot of detail but I’m not getting carried away. In my model room, the first thing people go for is my 1/12 mfh Ferrari P4. I love 1/25 the best. But these big scale are really cool. Really draws attention in a room. I’m really going to have make room for this big guy. Just completed the left door. Now waiting for the next pack to arrive.

More on the ford GT. The door is now complete. I added a few rivits to the interior door panel. And one wheel ,spindle, brake rotor and caliper finished. Painted the caliper gold . Adding just a little bit.

Thanks for the view! Love the Europa!

I have never put a cma kit together. It does look great. All of these kits are very expensive. And all are very highly specialized. You can talk all day about it has this and doesn’t have that. If you like the subject , buy it and build it.

Hope this helps

Sorry for the slow response. I found out I have prostate cancer. They are going to remove it the 23rd. Been a little crazy around here. So I will be off for awhile. To answer your question, this kit is metal, plastic ,machined aluminum, rubber and other things . The body is metal. It will weigh about 20 pounds or so. So have a strong shelf for display. It’s a fantastic kit. Just needs a little more to make it more realistic. Most people say that for the price it should have it all. But it is a great starting point. Dimensions are correct, all of the important stuff is there, great center piece as it is. I had a DeAgostini Toyota 2000 GT and it drew all the attention. The other models did not even exist. Great conversation piece. Times are real hard for most today but If you can, try to get at least one big scale kit. Angora models and DeAgostini seem to be right on with their big scale models. Mr Obsessive knows a lot more than I on big scale kits.

If you can watch Jamie’s one day builds. On you tube. He used to build some of the Star Wars models. The gang had a bunch of models to kitbash from. They just made things up , if it looked good they used it.

That’s funny you said that, it actually is trash cans on the movie set droid. With a very small person in it.

Light up.

1/12 Gonk Droid from Star Wars. Something new for me.

Finished

Recieved this as a gift. Going to try sci fi for the first time. Painted the base. Next hair spray, the paint. Blue/ grey. Then weather the droid with water and a tooth pick. All a first. So far it’s fun because you do not have to be perfect on the paint job. Hope it turns out. You’ll see it either way. It also lights up. Another first.

Thank you beeRS. It is a cool kit. I have to thank my friend Mark for the model. He is a great person and has donated a great many kits to our club members. For example he gave a mfh Mazda 1/12 kit to a friend of our club. And a DeAgostini Harley to another. Very great and generous person.

Hello Chris! The motor looks like a piece of jewelry!!! I just hope I can make my 917/30 look that good. Great job sir!!!

Seats

Hood , install headlamps. Washed the gold on the seats.

WOW , That’s super clean. Beautiful sir! Great Job.

Hello Carl! How are you and your family? Hope all is great !!! And thank you . I read your books every day!!!

This is true, the basics are here. Needs a little more but as in life , this is what you get. Like pocher kits, there will be aftermarket stuff. But for now this is it. I’m looking at the kit and just might add a few more coats of clear. Going to add more detail to the interior doors.

Door assembly

The hood (bonnet)?. ,hood. To keep the misc parts. On some of the steps , there are parts for the future of the build. It’s a good idea to find some kind of container to store the parts.
