Gfer Gman Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Hi all. This is my first post here, so I hope it works and is in the right place. This is my 'cutaway' Tamiya 1/20 Lotus 102b, driven by Mika Hakkinen during the 1991 season. The aim of the build was to see the extra detail without having to touch the model. I didn't build it to win prizes (some of the detail isnt the best to look at up close), but rather to express an idea of how to display something differently. It's more about the overall effect. I hope you all like it. I entered it at my "local" show- Australian Model Expo, held annually in Melbourne. One of the judges liked it enough to ask to feature it on his website and YouTube channel, check it out here: 13
bbowser Posted Thursday at 11:19 PM Posted Thursday at 11:19 PM Very cool! I especially like the way you cut the tires to show the brake calipers. Great work.
Gfer Gman Posted Friday at 10:11 AM Author Posted Friday at 10:11 AM Thanks guys. I appreciate your kind words.
Pete75 Posted Friday at 10:33 PM Posted Friday at 10:33 PM Love it! It's like the beginning of an animated exploded diagram. I like that you left enough bodywork to retain the car's overall form, and that you never get the sense that it's just chopped in half. 👏
Vessey Posted Monday at 06:17 PM Posted Monday at 06:17 PM Looks good! I'm a big fan of cutaway/cross-section style models. I'd like to do one myself sometime, maybe a NASCAR next-gen car.
iBorg Posted Monday at 07:02 PM Posted Monday at 07:02 PM Neat idea. When I can get back to building, I'll have to try it.
