Omi1966 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 hello chaps. here is the completed revell ferrari 250 gto 1/24. now ive seen a few of these on the forums so i decided to try to get creative, i'm not one for dios but i thought why not! so my idea was to use as much of the kit as possible IE: kit (doh), spru's, box and odds and ends from the spares box. so the saying out of the box means box aswell. the base is made from the flat cardboard side and clued in the corners. the cobble stones are cut up box and theres over 500 on that little space AHHHHHH! not my brightest moment. the curb is a piece of polystyrene covered with larger bits of box to try to represent flag stones. the lamp post is a bit of sprue bent and bits added at the base and top, the actual lamp is clear spru clued together and sanded then some white clue to age it a touch. the round bit at the top is a drive sprocket from a 1/35 tiger tank cut and shaped with some aircraft wheels on the top for deco. normal hairspray weathering for the rust and some staic grass for effect. pleased how this came out. hope you enjoy it lads and lasses. this was fun. anyone up for the challenge id love to see the results. martin.
Chris White Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 that's nice, just a little different than the GTO I posted, much classier
Kennyboy Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Very nice on the 250!!! That dio is just awesome though........extra credit for it!!
doggie427 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Great work on the car and especially the dio ! Well done Martin.

DrKerry Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 thanks guys hope your safe over in the usa your weather looks bad stay in and model No prob there, I ventured out this morn -10 on the dial and snow blowing every which way. I made it about 2/3rds of my way in and I gave up. Snow blowing in high winds can't see, blew out my right side head light in the cold, white knuckled and head ache setting in. So I just said forget it......
jaydar Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Outstanding job on both the street section and car. The engine looks real. Chicago is about -40 with the windchill. Staying in. Joe.
Belugawrx Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Very cool Love the recycling and an awesome job on that!! Gotta try that
Greg Cullinan Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Looks great. Right color,that's for sure.
dantewallace Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Very nice job on the dio and model. I am in the process of building this kit right now. I can honestly say that I'm not very happy with it, especially the small opening of the the velocity stacks, the way they are attached to the tree, the wheel quality, and the tires are horrible. Also the shape of the rear end is to square unlike the 1:1 car.
Omi1966 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Persevere Dante it looks ok when finished and I believe this kit is one of the best of a bad bunch for this car, still beautiful motor and I agree the kit design is not great. Any chance of seeing your progress? Martin.
brandolsx Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Cool, I have been working on this kit for a bit now. Really nicely done.
