jaymcminn Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Pretty good class of 2023... Tamiya Nissan Z. Tamiya IJN green with pearl clear coat. Ebbro Citroen DS21. Tamiya Pearl Green and Black. Lots of scratch building to correct the interior. A great kit and enormously fun to build. 1/12 Caterham Super 7 BDR. This is an interesting kit... a passion project for Tamiya in the 90's and largely regarded as the "best model kit ever produced". It's certainly impressive, and builds into a great model. The body and floor panels are all aluminum. Paint on this one was Splash Paints Bentley Racing Green and Tamiya Camel Yellow. Built OOB except for scratch built wind deflectors. The "Big Project", Italeri's new tool Bugatti 35b. Bookbinder's leather on the seat and other leather appointments. Salt weathering to replicate a "barn find" paint finish. Wire locks by Unobtanium with 30 gauge wire. Last pic shows the spare tire I ordered from Italeri mounted in the carrier a few months after the rest of the build was finished. Finally, the Italeri Ferrari 275GTB. Wheels and tires replaced with Fujimi parts. Tamiya Light Gunmetal paint. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Wow! Museum quality builds on each of those. I was loving the work on the Nissan Z and then I scrolled down to the Bugatti and was floored by the quality of work and detailed realism on it!! Beautiful work on each one. I'd be inerested to see whatever the red car is in the display case above the Bugatti too. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a reissue of an old metal-body Protar kit. This one involved replacing all the plastic "wood" with the real thing as well as a fair amount of weathering and my first use of real leather on a model for the bonnet straps.
