What I have on the bench. Same pics as on HHMB yesterday.

I guess this should be posted in the Big Scale topic list but it is on my bench or at least under it. Tamiya 1/12 Lola T70

This was a paint test for some water base clear. That didn't work but I like the color so I used Matrix clear on it. It will just be a slammer or curbside for the shelf.

Here is a Tamiya Mazda 787. I built one several years ago just box stock. I am trying to expand my detailing ability so I am trying some new things on this one. Paint should be on it in the next week or so.

Nice work! I really like the color on the Pontiac, too!

I LOVE that Lola Terry!!

It's one of my favorite '60's racers! I have that kit and it's superb! Lord knows when I'll ever get around to building it.......

Same for me Bill. I have always thought it's one of the best looking cars ever. I just decided at the beginning of the year that I was going to build it and not put it off any longer. I had said for a long time that I was going to wait until I developed my skills more but I would never get to the place that I thought I could do the kit justice so I decided to go ahead and build it. If 10 years down the road I think I so much better then I'' build another one.

That Lola is beautiful. I'd love to get my hands into a Ferrari 330P3 or P4...

Thanks,

Actually, it's Cinnimon pearl if I recall correctly. Then I added some Ketchum Kopper to darken it and painted highlights down the middle and on the fenders.

I've have tried to replicate every wire and hose on the engine but I don't have pictures of some of the areas to know exactly where everything goes. I am just trying to make it look as real as I can. I haven't got into making aluminum parts but that will be the next thing for me. I have found that research is the most important part of doing a lot of detail. My next attempt will involve much more work on the front end. I'm at the point on this one that I can see some hoses and wires in the pictures I have but I don't know where they are going so I am having to guess. But I have to say that I have enjoyed myself on this build and that is what it's all about.
