Maserati Birdcage

[Scale-Master]

I created the art and printed the decals. Painted the body Tamiya TS-49 over TS-25. Had to replace the front tires and a couple pieces of PE that had been lost. Tires were machined from rubber vacuum hose; decals were made to replace the PE cowl vents.

I mounted it to a base to protect it from being handled. Faux cracked asphalt made from card stock and the base of the box it came from was brush painted to look like wood grain. It is 1/87th scale white metal kit produced by High tech Modell.

He has tiny elves working for him, either that or he is handy with chopsticks lol. This is great...I would lose it being that small, its a micro machine.

Unbelievable! That must've been a nightmare to build, but you nailed it!

That's great, good things come in small packages.

Birdcage? More like an ant-cage - that's how small it is... Wonderful build, mate!

You did a beautiful job!! I have nothing but admiration for guys who will even attempt a 1/87th kit like that, let alone do a great job. Don't ask me to try it!

I'll send you one of my superdetailed SD40-2s to park it next to. Very nice indeed; too bad all H-O scale vehicles weren't this nice.
