This is a little 1/43 Diorama for a good Friend about the famous "Red Pig", the AMG 300 SEL from the 24 Hours Race at Spa 1971. I use an old Provence Moulage Kit and Pewter figures from Denizen. The Kit lacks all Details on the Chassis and inside, too bad i receive correct info Months after finished it. So it is absolutly incorrect ? AMG drove this Car with full Interior, Woodinlays, leather and so on......I go the wrong Way with a bare raceinterior. Build a full Rollcage with Copperwire, added Plastic strips on the Rear to simulate the Wheel Innerarch. Convertet a Denizem Figure to fit inside.After painting i added the provided Fireextingusher and added two paperstrips for the Harness. Paint is Acrylic as always, dont now anymore what brand, i think i used Gunze.

The Wheels are turned Aluminium Rims with Pewter inlays. This Inlays got a slight polish and a bit Weathering with very thin Oilwashing. I glue the  Wheels all on the Rods and on the Chassis. This got underside a flat black paint.

The Bodyshell is very fine casted, no Bubbles or inaccuracies, a bit fiddly are the Chromestrips around the Car. This are very fine Etchparts. I paint it with the same bright red, added the Etchparts with Woodglue, Decasl as usual and go over it with Gunze Gloss clear. This takes Weeks to harden.....A big Challenge where those Windscreens. Must be cut out from Vacuformed Clearplastic, i have never done this before, well my Neighbors knows iam at home ??

meanwhile i altered a figure from Denizen. The man with the Flag got to be a Photographer, as seenn on a Originalpic from the race. A bit Cutting an d bending, Putty do the rest. Camerabag is some bag from 1/35 Militaryfigure. The Camera itself should represented a Canon F1, build scratch from Plasticparts.

For the Dioplate i use two Woodplates , glue together, paint the Road, added a bit Grass from Modelrailroad Supliers and a Rail from my Slottrack. Now this little Thing has a Special Place in the Office of my Friend. Btw he restores Classic Cars, overall mercedes....?
