DavidG Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) OMG!! SOOOOOO Beautiful!! This brings a tear to my eye because these cars were pre-doofis looking wings, pre-ground effects, pre-wide slicks, and pre-corporate sponsorship. These cars needed to be DRIVEN by men who had the talents and the kahunas to dice it out with others who had the same talents and kahunas. It is difficult to imagine what it would have been like to really be there at Monaco before there were armcos everywhere blocking the view, a can of Pepsi cost $10, the chicane was a feature of the street instead of an obstacle to slow traffic down and the tunnel didn't have a casino over the top of it. Oh yeah, the winners DRANK the champagne instead of spraying it all over like school kids. Thank you for these photos, Jürgen. I could wax poetic for a long time on the emotions that your excellent model has stirred up. Edited May 30, 2014 by DavidG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizzwizz24 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Breathtaking. Absolutely FLAWLESS!! High Resolution photos and I cannot find an area of imperfection. Your talents are impressive and admirable. This is my favorite time period of race cars and over the years I have obtained more than a dozen Revival kits and I have completed only just a few. The amount of work to get these kits to align properly and prepped properly is almost exhausting. I have a great appreciation for what you have accomplished here and I am sure many others do as well. Fantastic work! Thank you for sharing and giving me some much needed inspiration to get another kit back onto the workbench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastheniker Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks for all comments! OMG!! SOOOOOO Beautiful!! This brings a tear to my eye because these cars were pre-doofis looking wings, pre-ground effects, pre-wide slicks, and pre-corporate sponsorship. These cars needed to be DRIVEN by men who had the talents and the kahunas to dice it out with others who had the same talents and kahunas.

Oh yeah, the winners DRANK the champagne instead of spraying it all over like school kids. Thank you for these photos, Jürgen. I could wax poetic for a long time on the emotions that your excellent model has stirred up. I would sign every word. In those days racing was interesting because newcomers with small budgets like Lotus were able to defeat established competitors only by ingenious engineering - today it is simply money that wins races. Sometimes champagne was drunk even before the race. After a party in the evening before, obviously with sufficient beverages, Mike Hawthorne stopped his car during the race on the track, got rid of the remaining alcohol, and then resumed the race. BTW I love your avatar. Breathtaking. Absolutely FLAWLESS!! High Resolution photos and I cannot find an area of imperfection. Your talents are impressive and admirable. This is my favorite time period of race cars and over the years I have obtained more than a dozen Revival kits and I have completed only just a few.

Fantastic work! Thank you for sharing and giving me some much needed inspiration to get another kit back onto the workbench. These kits are abysmal and building them is a pain. I know several skilled modelers who failed or lost patience. Nevertheless finishing such a kit with an acceptable result gives more satisfaction than any other kit I know. Even the extreme sacrifice of time is really worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastheniker Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Outstanding job. What is the purpose of using two kits? Joe. As mentioned in my earlier Casadio/Revival contributions I always build two models: The first is a super-detailed chassis without body and the second a complete vehicle with body. Presented together on a mirror (similarily as on my last picture) such a pair makes a very interesting display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
