jaymcminn Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 2017 was a pretty productive year... I had been in a bit of a slump but decided this year to start thinning out the stash a little and to get some great projects out of my head and into my display case. Fujimi Enthusiast 356 Speedster... my first use of Molotow Chrome Tamiya Mercedes 300SL Gullwing... Scale Motorsport plaid upholstery decals, HRM Rudge wheels Tamiya Karmann Ghia... scratchbuilt luggage rack, Fuchs wheels from a Fujimi 911 kit, Weber carb setup Tamiya Fiat 695 Esse Esse- custom Weber setup, wrapped headers, scratchbuilt engine cover braces Monogram Lotus Esprit 300- box stock Tamiya Ferrari F50- Hobby Design PE kit Revell Mercedes SLS AMG... Hobby Design PE kit And the latest... Tamiya 1/12 scale Datsun Fairlady 240ZG... build thread in Big Boyz Not too shabby!
WolfmanJedd Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 The Datsun is spectacular. The shade of green is a perfect match for it, I think. Also, love the fiat! Very nice set!
TooOld Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Congrats Jason , and not too shabby at all ! Your builds are so clean and well built , I look forward to more in 2018 .
doggie427 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Congratulations Jason, you had a very productive and well executed year. Edited January 1, 2018 by doggie427
bbowser Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Wow, those are great builds! You had a very good year.
espo Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Beautiful builds. I like the convertible top on the 356, is that in the kit ?
Matt Bacon Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Fantastic collection, Jay. They're all lovely, but the Lotus and the little Abarth are probably my favorites. And clearly, we're very much on the same wavelength in terms of subject choice: I have far too many of those kits in the stash! best, M.
Terminator-Fox Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Wow, awesome builds. I love the Gullwing
Modelbuilder Mark Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Wow, looks like a great year to me. Vey nice selection. Edited January 2, 2018 by Modelbuilder Mark
skid896 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 That Esprit is really nice, some really good builds here, the scratchbuild on the Karman Ghia and the 1/12 Datsun, awesome.
jaymcminn Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks everybody! I had fun with all of these and I wanted to get some pics up after Photobucket's little stunt this year. 9 hours ago, espo said: Beautiful builds. I like the convertible top on the 356, is that in the kit ? That is the kit top. It also includes a 1/2 tonneau cover, folded top cover, and side curtains for the up-top. 8 hours ago, Matt Bacon said: Fantastic collection, Jay.

Everybody loves the Esprit, which was easily the biggest pain of all of these to get looking right. It took a lot of work to get the box-stock nose-high 4x4 stance down where it belongs. I really love the Abarth too... it has a lot of character and pretty much just fell together. We definitely have similar choices in subject matter... a lot of the cars you've already built I have in my stash!
Jonathan Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 That Lotus looks great! Most of the ones I've seen built sit way too high. Did you modify the suspension any?
misterNNL Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Not in my wheel house but all done expertly and a high degree of knowledge of the subject matter
Sixties Sam Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Very nice builds! I really like the Karmann-Ghia! Sam
E. Raza Ronny Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Such clean and superb builds. I didn't know monogram made a Lotus . And it looks so well put together. I've alwys faced fitment issues with monogram kits.
FabbricaP Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Excellent builds all around! That speedster is my favorite one
