W-409 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Great. That convertible looks very realistic, paintjob is amazing and detailing looks good. I also like the interior very much. That Gasser version is nice too, only bad thing is that it's matt colored, not gloss I mean. But engine looks good and stance is perfect. It's nice to see these being built.

spkgibson Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Those have to be THE best reworked diecasts ever done, That Convertable looks like it was made that way,That Gasser looks like something right out of the early to mid 60's ,Very cool, How in the world did you get the windshield frame on the convertable to look so nice? Great work on all 3, I have to say I can't pick a favorite, I love all 3 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick W. Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Those are the Ertl Elite edition diecasts! I have one that I am working on for my main table at my wedding reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
