I'm with you, Pierre - after the GTO and the Lancia turbo which gave me more headaches than expected, I need a simple one in between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensar Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Great looking weathering, Pierre. I have the 1/12 Tamiya Porsche 934 to build one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Jason Hupin (Jack Modelling) has just printed these for me. I should receive them in about 7-10 days. Last piece of the puzzle! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The wheels look great! They need to, in order to match your fantastic work, Pierre. Excellent job on the weathering! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Jason did it again - these will be the icing on the cake of your model, Pierre! I will order also several sets of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Pierre, everything okay? Waiting patiently for more on this one. Well not so patiently, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hello Pierre, Your progress looks awesome my friend!!!! Had no idea that this car had the "in board" drum brakes at front and rear!!!! The wheels look great, Jason said he would get to work on my order when he returns from vacation. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as my wheels arrive I'll paint/weather a set and post here. I think they should be a good candidate for your Maserati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be coming on an old steamship that barely floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Rivard Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Wheels are here! painted Vallejo flat aluminium, mounted on tires (from the spares box) and weathered to have "end of race" look Calling this one done! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Well done Pierre - I'm glad that I took a last look into the forum before going to sleep. This one has the definitive "end-of-race" look without being battered or damaged - the wheels turned out fantastic - did you use the kit tires (or are these amt Firestones with rubbed off side lettering) ? IIRC, Mercedes used Continental rubber back then. Edited April 18 by 1959scudetto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Looks amazing, Pierre. The wheels are the icing on the cake. Let us know when final presentation is ready to be viewed in the under-glass section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Prize modeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Very authentic looking in appearance. Now just dab a few drops of oil underneath and you will have the smell too for a truly accurate experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 What a beauty, Pierre! The wheels just complete it. Everything looks just right--weathering--all of it. Excellent work, my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Mercedes used Continental rubber back then. The kit tires (Dunlop Racing) are very nice but a bit too big in my opinion. Saving them for another project and used Firestones with lettering rubbed off just as you said. 17 hours ago, MarkJ said: Looks amazing, Pierre. The wheels are the icing on the cake.

I cannot take credit for the wheels other than providing lots of pictures and sketches to Jason who designed and printed them for me. They make a huge difference and add so much realism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
