DRWho95 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) know if only you could get top gear to drive it around their track by enlisting the help of their tame racing driver..... Some say if he could be bothered, he could crack the Da Vinci code in 43 seconds and Some say his left nipple is almost exactly the same shape as the Nurburgring all we know is he's called the stig!

Um...I'm gonna feel a tad embarrassed going in to a shop asking for those.... Fantastic work progressing here Rom. And I love the jack stand. That come with the kit I guess..?

severin681 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I sit here totally intimidated by this build, the photo etched parts, and detail work you put into it. The quality of your builds really make me sit and analyze what I'm doing, and how to do it better. What parts can I modify and make better looking and what I can do to add that additional detail to really make my builds shine. These are great inspirational pieces. Thank you for sharing. Holy moley this build is awesome.
Romell R Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Hey Gilbert Thanks for the compliment brother I cant wait to get back on it! Man I hate moving!!
Jdurg Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Just wanted to chime in and say "HOLY FREAKING SCHMIDT!!!!!" That just looks absolutely beautiful. The detail you've put in there is incredible. This is why I love building large scale model kits and wish there were more of them out there to buy. Makes it so much easier to add detail and clean things up with such a large scale.

youngtiger1 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Wow Romell, this is sweet project. I have couple off Pocher kits in my collection that I traded a local friend some 1/32 aircraft/jets for them. These kits are in the class of their own. You have to have your stuff together to tackle these suckers. Just like building a real car with out all the oil and grease...lol Since, last year i have been thinking about getting the Ferrari kit. I saw one that was converted into a race car and it got me drooling all of it or I should say for it. So, I'm saving all my nickles to get one soon. In the mean time, I'll be following your work here cause you are doing some great work to you kit. Also, nice clear photographs of you work. Thanks and keep up the good work. Mike

Mike Thanks Mike I'm working on getting my stuff unpacked now so I should be up and building again in a week or so. sounds like you got a really good deal with your pocher trade. I'm saving up my penny's too because I want to build the Porsche 993 next Edited October 18, 2012 by Romell R
MoparWoman Jamie Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Hey Rom, did you fall off the face of the earth or what? 3 months now.
cobraman Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I have been wondering what happened to this build as well.
Romell R Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 Im still here I just havent been able to build hopefully I'll be back on this real soon.
Mooneyzs Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Rom... It's great to hear from you. Hope all is well and look forward to more updates on your builds
Trucker_tim Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Yah it's good to hear from you. I was starting to get worried we hadn't heard from you in awhile.
stump Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Im still here I just havent been able to build hopefully I'll be back on this real soon. Hey Rom, feeling it with you bud. Get back to it when time permits mate.
jrherald420 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Wow, just read all the post and this build is sweet! Cant wait to see more!
Romell R Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Hey fellas I know ive been gone a while but I just got back on this project I have a few up dates and i'll start posting more regularly from here on out. ok once I pulled the project out of storage I had a just a couple things I needed to repair it was just a couple suspension issue that were easily fixed. then I painted the body parts which came out fabulous except for the clear on the rear spoiler which ill be fixing tonight anyway enough said heres some pics for ya. here the broken rear shock. heres the hood and roof paint
deja-view Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I've built the Testarossa Spyder and a bunch of the Porsche "911"'s, and had an F40 I thought I wanted to do the whole bit on until I saw how crudely the main components of the whole car were produced. I think the upgrade/detail supplemental parts are the only way it makes the F40 worth it. I've seen one that was very, very nice. But to do the real car justice, and justify the price of the transkit you'll need to strip the paint off, prep the surface properly, and do a quality respray and polishing job.
youngtiger1 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Man, look that paint shine...for some reason I feel my eyes slipping from it...little no much polish I suppose...lol
Kennyboy Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 This is beautiful Romell. It is the benchmark I am trying to aspire to on my Protar F40 build.
