Ace-Garageguy Posted January 5 Posted January 5 (edited) I had almost no modeling time last year, and frankly, with the way things were going, not much interest anyway. Still, I managed to make some small progress on the 4 I'd like to wrap up first. Did a little work on a display dio too. Edited January 5 by Ace-Garageguy 13
GRiN Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Looks like a few full sizes garages of guys that I know. But they suffer from a disease that is way to expensive for me to get. 2
Bullybeef Posted January 5 Posted January 5 @Ace-Garageguy progress is progress. I’ve suffered from a lack of modelling mojo as of late and I’ve not completed as many as I had hoped for this year. Hope 2025 is better for both of us. 2
David G. Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Bill, the level of detail and accuracy you work toward takes much more time and effort than just gluing together pieces from a box and slapping on some paint. I'm impressed that you have this many to show us. I do enjoy following your builds when you have time to work on them. David G. 1 1
Ulf Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I really appreciate your projects and your articulate answers to our questions. I once talked to a model builder who was dreading the day his life project would be finished. Projects completed over a long period of time often have one thing in common, they have the right stance, that's something you can see if you let it take time. 1
dino246gt Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Looks like a couple of outrageously expensive hot rod builds! I'm assuming the Ferraris are supposed to be replicas, made into hot rods! Very cool ideas for models, highly cost prohibitive in real, that's what's so great about models! Looking good! 1

I'm assuming the Ferraris are supposed to be replicas, made into hot rods! The white 250 GTO is supposed to be a real Ferrari, rodded back in the mid-1960s after its engine let go. A blown-engine roller could be had for not insane money back then...kinda expensive but not "investment art" money...and this one is getting a 389 Pontiac GTO engine and manual gearbox, with a ford 9" out back. In reality, there were a few American-engined Ferrari hot-rods built during the period. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The red 275P was started as part of a group build to represent the second-place finisher #23 at Sebring in 1964. It's an ancient Monogram curbside kit that was basically a slot car body with a dummy chassis and no internals. This one was a gloobomb. It's getting a lot of TLC to more accurately represent the real car, but will still be a curbside. A full-detail build of the same kit is planned, for which I've been collecting parts, research material, and experimenting with vacuum-forming the clear parts.

Yeah I remember seeing ads for them like in the late 70s for $5, 6 or 7 grand, what an investment that would've been! As for yours, it's STILL a GTO! Love it! 1
