89AKurt Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) WIP: Italeri - Ferrari 275 GTS (Spyder N.A.R.T.) Started October 1, 2019, finished March 11 after over 186 hours. A decent kit to begin with, other than truck tires which ended up on my '69 Chevy pickup. ? Opened the doors and trunk, painted with nail 'polish', many scratch-built parts added. Not an exact replica of the Thomas Crown Affair car which had the alloy wheels. Woman is a Shapeways product. Diorama is California Pit Stop, the California Spyder is the focus of that project, but have been utilizing for a studio. My studio, was waiting for an overcast and not breezy day. ?

Great work !!!??? Thank you. I'm glad that I built the diorama. Was inspired by an ad in a collector car publication, eventually got the Texaco parts luckily before the economy tanked 2008, then got a color print via Ken Ebberts the artist . 8 hours ago, ChrisR said: VERY NICE!!

1959scudetto Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Kurt, fantastic diorama - this Texaco gas station seems to be a Ferrari hotspot - great work on all three - did you use the Fujimi Borrani wheels/tyres for the two Italeri Ferraris? Anyway, the 275 GT/B Spider N.A.R.T. is awesome!

Anyway, the 275 GT/B Spider N.A.R.T. is awesome! Thank you too! Just like a Cars & Coffee, never know what is going to show up. The California is the Italeri kit spoke wheels which are pretty decent (Fujimi is the best plastic), I have a Herb Deeks photo-etch set but used only the tires (I don't like the white metal rims).
bbowser Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Very nicely done, the interior and trunk tool kit are very impressive! Love the dio setting too.
Eric Macleod Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I really enjoyed the WIP and feel you nailed the whole project. You are a true master!
