Scale-Master Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 White metal kit that builds another livery, (I will make the decals to do a car Shelby drove). Here is the body casting after clean up. I painted a pink base coat to make the red color a bit brighter due to its diminutive size. Here is the interior so far…
Harry P. Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Post a photo of the body next to a dime or quarter or something so we can get a sense of the size.
Scale-Master Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 More progress on the interior… Here’s the trusty scale to give an idea of the size of this one… The front tires were missing from the kit, so I machined replacements from rubber vacuum line. (On the left is a kit supplied rear, on the right is one of the replaced fronts.) The wheels are dual layer PE with machined spindles and rims, knock offs will be added after they are installed on the car. Body was painted with Tamiya red I have printed the decals and hope to apply them tonight...
Wagoneer81 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Ohh, cripes, that tiny!!! You sir, have more patience (not to mention dexterity) than I do... Nice interior and paint. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Harry P. Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Well, that's just flat-out unbelievable! If that model was 1/24 scale I'd be mighty impressed. The fact that it's so tiny makes me über-impressed! I get the feeling you could engrave the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin and have room left over to add the Gettysburg Address...
RatRod Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Wow, that's amazing to see that much detail in such a small package.... If anybody can pull it off successfully, your the man. Very cool Mark.
Foxer Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I thought the birdcage members looked fine at the start.. but I thought this was 1/25. WoW!
iBorg Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I think I saw that on sale. I was really interested until I saw the size of it. I knew I wasn't skilled enough to do it justice. Mike
slant6 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I hope you can still see when your finished with this one. I cant imagine how many parts I would lose if I tried this. Looks great!
250 Testa Rossa Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Nice job! I had the chance to sit in a Birdcage Maserati, once.
