Presenting My Class Of 2007

[ismaelg]

Hello!

Time for my traditional year end modeling poll. My current project will most likely NOT be finished by the end of December, so I'm confident that my Class of 2007 is set.

This was a very diverse modeling year for me. For the first time in many years most finished models were not Corvettes. Don't get me wrong, I love them more than ever, but it was time to let other subjects into my bench

You can vote for your favorite and I'll compare the results with my own ranking.

Ladies and Gentlemen: My class of 2007 in chronological order:

[Frank Steffens]

I voted for the Corvette also, but all of them are fantastic!

[Ranchwagon]

I had to go with the Ferrari. Great builds as usual!!

[Mike Kucaba]

I voted for the 612,but they are all neat and certainly diverse!!A helicopter?A Vespa scooter!! What/how is the IMSA Goodwrench Corvette coming,I was hoping you had figured out a masking technique.

[Raul_Perez]

They're all awesome in their own right, but I really liked the blue on your 996 GT3!!

And here's to another collection of great builds next year!!

[bsoder]

[LVZ2881]

[kelson]

i voted for the CAYMAN S ,love the look and the color.

[simonr]

With m hand over the heart, I voted for the Yellow Vette, consireing me a deep Porsche fan. To me, that model stands from the others, although to me, all them are great pieces of art.

Cual se llevara el "Bacalaito Frito de Oro"Award!

What, no one likes Vespas or helicopters?

Seriously, I loved the 996 the most, but the Vette was a very close second. Besides, I didn't want to pick the one almost everybody else did.

Thank you all for your nice comments! Sorry for the late response. I'm out of town for the holidays with limited online time.

Mike, The IMSA Corvette GTP is next in line. As soon as I finish the current project I'll work on it. The masking and painting of it is keeping me from sleeping well...

Thanks,

There's a good book called Corvette GTP by Alex Gabbard. It's out of production but you might be able to find it. If you can't find it, let me know. I could let you borrow my copy. I used it to build the Quick Skins kit.

That's very nice of you! I found a copy of the book in England. Gotta love the internet. But it's missing a page: Page 67-68. Can you check what's on those pages? Just in case I may be missing something important. How did your build go? Got pics?

Thanks,

Page 67 is mainly talking about the Group 44 and the 962's and the Nissans. On page 68 there are 6 pictures, only one of the Corvette. Send me a message with your address and I'll send photocopies of the pages so you'll have a complete book.

Don't have any pictures of the Corvette, but Model Cars took a couple of shots of it for the NNLWest coverage for the 2006 (?) magazine. The build is a real easy build. Tamiya's Gloss Aluminum in their TS line is an exact match for the silver. The tape up job is real easy to do. There are two different paint schemes for the black, white, and silver car, mainly on the rear end. Most of the time the striping went through the rear vents. And some of the cars ran with the striping just to the inside of the vents. That's the one I did because it was less common.
