David Thibodeau Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Been away for a week in Hilton Head South Carolina with the family and it was a blast...... beautiful weather with lots of fun things to do..... I painted and cleared this 1:43rd scale white metal body before I left and took it with me and polished it real smooth while on the trip in the evenings. I got back yesterday and tore into it and finished it up today... The entire kit is white metal except for the headlights and tires! Very simple crude kit to be honest but built up into a decent replica of a rare car. Of course its for someone.... $$$$$$ Glad to be back at it!!!! These 1:43rds are quite rewarding little gems.....

elan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nice job! 1/48 scale is for young people with good eyesight. Still some of the subjects are very interesting and I might try one someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nice job! 1/48 scale is for young people with good eyesight. And tiny little fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I LOVE IT!! But there's no way I could sell something that beautiful! I guess I'd have a hard time making any money at it! Yes, 1/43's can be VERY therapeutic as they'll make you challenge yourself as to what you can do in that small of a scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
