P.S. love the wheels also.

Super build. I am just starting to enjoy these old cars. Did the duesenberg. Just started buying the classics. Have a very small collection of them. Your build is fantastic! Color and how clean it looks. Shows the beauty and class of these automobiles. Great job!

Fantastic work!

Another beauty from the CT Design studio.

Truly a beautiful build.

Very nice.

Anyone who builds these are total artists. Modeler or real. Fantastic beauty. Great job!!!! We have a modeler Dan that builds boats/ ships. The time and skill level is beyond fantastic. My friend Mark builds canoes and I see what he does . Bending wood ? How does anyone do that? You guys have not only skill but it takes an artist to make these.

WOW brings back the old days! My father had a great friend that was one of the promoters for Bill Graham. We lived in the Bay Area so there was a lot. Probably saw over 100 before the end of the 70’s since they were free tickets for us. So back then I remember Grand Funk Railroad was at winterland in San Francisco. Pretty great. Doobie brothers were great. Jefferson Airplane/ starship was pretty good. Jethero Tull was good. (Ian Anderson).Peter Framton was pretty good. Elton John day on the green was great. Too many too list. Later Phil Collin’s was great. U2 in Colorado was great. Still today I have a high school friend working for Steve Winn and she gets us tickets in Vegas. Been very lucky with concerts. The one that stands out is Phil Collin’s. The best one in Vegas is the Blue Man Group.

Yes please!!!

Looking fantastic

Painted the black.

Something did not look correct. The kit did not have disc brakes. I added the brakes from the parts box. Needed to modify again to get them to fit. Looks more complete.

This is a difficult kit. A lot of parts! You have done a fantastic job fitting these body panels. You have the doors to the roof fitting great. Was that a challenge? Every car I have seen completed has the doors not fitting to the roof. There are sooo many parts to the body and you have done a brilliant job of fitting them. Bravo! I say this as I have had this kit for years and still have not touched it. I have built several mfh kits and not this tamiya kit. Man your car looks super. Great job!

That is beautiful

Thank you CabDriver.

Hello Blueprint, hmmmmm can you send me a pic?

Thank you Carl. How have you been? Hope all is well for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thank you SpikeSchumacher

Hello Ulf. I am now looking at a real one to import. We get a one time exemption here in Nevada for cars over 25 years old. But a friend said it’s the whole USA. The car is in Italy. But looking at several others also. I also found a bmw 3.0 cs. And then there’s the Japanese market. Hard to pick just one car.

Thank you Spottedlaurel.

A Tamiya R5 Renault. It’s a very simple kit. As I’m waiting for parts on the big scale cars. And waiting on a 1/8 Mercedes F1car. So I have a little breathing room for a simple build. Modified the suspension. Lowered the car a lot. The paint is a toner from bmw paint system. Kind of a copper, bronze color. Next is the masking of the black trim , which is quite a bit. I like the Renault R5 turbo . Have a soft spot for the real car. When I was vintage racing my Shelby at laguna seca, in practice this little car would give my Shelby fits. I would pull it in the straight but in the corners, this car was incredible. Meaning kick my rear. I won this kit at the Fremont IPMS raffle. So I’m giving it a try. Wish I had a real one. Here goes.

Thank you Bainford and Happy New Year!

This is the message I recieved. My friend knew him since high school. Was his neighbor.

Heard he passed away yesterday. ?
