baycolony Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Awesome! I wish I had 3d printing know how. You should sell some of your creations. Edited October 14, 2023 by baycolony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 That's a model???? I am absolutely speechless. That's hands down the most realistic model I've ever seen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer1984 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Beautiful work on this, the realism is incredible. I especially like the work you did on the plug wire boots, those are just about the best I've seen anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Wow stunning model. As others have said I thought that the first pictures were of a real car. Great photography and diorama. Please show us more of the diorama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 There's so much that's so good. Until I saw the picture of the engine with the photoshopped fingers I thought it was the real thing. Your tires are proof of why so many military modelers don't like rubber tires. The spark plug boots and hood latch are killer. Too much to list. Just a great build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 6' x 4' and mounted on casters so i can roll it out of the garage and into natural light to shoot in. All of the pumps and canopy are 3D printed and the 'store' portion was built just using styrene sheet. I was gonna ask about the dio and you answered that question. WOW. WOW WOW and some more WOW!!! Everything about this build just screams realistic Martin. Such eye candy at every angle you look at this and that includes the dio as well. I really had to take a good look as I thought the first picture here was a reference photo that you were going to use for the build itself. Just crazy detail here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think people put the time and effort into saving and restoring the performance versions, so we see this spec less frequently which, to me, makes it more interesting. 6 hours ago, bobthehobbyguy said: Please show us more of the diorama. I've got a few other posts with pictures of it but I'll try to gather some shots for a post about it. 4 hours ago, iBorg said: Your tires are proof of why so many military modelers don't like rubber tires. I've pretty much stopped using kit tires altogether. Being able to sand the bottoms down to get them to sit flat is really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have always been a fan of the understated look on high performance vehicles, and this has really captured that look. The level of detail on this build is about as realistic as it gets. Same! I was scrolling to see the model. Unreal. Stunning build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeRS Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Amazing job. I literally thought I was looking at a 1:1 car at first. Photographed perfectly too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulbo Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It took me some time to realize this is a SCALE MODEL... Perfect Job! Outstanding Build👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMcc Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Holy cow, that is stunning! I stared at the pictures for twenty minutes. It seems to me that part of the realism lies in the tree branches and buildings across the street that are reflecting in the perfect paint job and back window. The only giveaway that it is pictures of a scale model, are the leaves behind the fence, and that nobody should ever park a car that nice in the middle of the street in front of a gas station. My word, this forum is loaded with highly talented modelers. Gives a less talented modeler hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Amazing work! Set in the diorama as it is, I thought I was looking at the car that inspired the model, not the model itself. Absolutely astounding! David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
