timc Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Hey the pics are working now after I got the compatability issue fixed. so here is some progress shots.
timc Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Just need to decide what color it will be now.
timc Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Will have some more bench time and some updates tonight.
rctruk Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Great to see that you are able to get things straightened out. Looks great so far. Personally I like the graphite dust. Wish I had something to show on my build.
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Ok I decided to do the Ferrari Daytona 365 kit. Not sure why the picture looks so bad. Edited December 29, 2014 by bobthehobbyguy

Zarana-X Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I have tried repeatedly to put the photos here. every time I get the image bow and add the link it freezes and I have to refresh the page.When I try to cancel the box I get a message that some properties of the website have changed,I still have to refresh the page. I'm starting to feel like what's the use of even being here. I've had the same issues on Internet Explorer/ Windows 7, I've started using Google Chrome, and it works fine. The only reason I even still use Internet Explorer, is because my bookmarks. There's a way to import them, but IDK what I'm doing. Edited December 31, 2014 by Zarana-X
Kennyboy Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I've had the same issues on Windows 7, I've started using Google Chrome, and it works fine. Like Jason said Tim, Google Chrome. Chrome seems to be the key for these issues. Ever since I went to Chrome, no more problems! Ok I decided to do the Ferrari Daytona 365 kit. Not sure why the picture looks so bad.20141228_173819.jpg Looking forward to seeing your progress on that beautiful Daytona Bob!
Toast Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I may hop on this soon. Finishing up some projects on the bench now. I have a 1/16 Countach that is an enthusiast kit that I'm eager to start.
Toast Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 This one here. Thinking a metallic red with gold wheels.
Twokidsnosleep Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I have a 1/24 fujimi Dino and a 1/24 599 Fiorano, but they don't say enthusiast.....they must be curb side models then??? What is an enthusiasts kit???
Toast Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 They're Fujimi kits with a much higher parts count and usually opening doors and such. The Countach I have has engine plumbing/wiring, real springs for the coil overs, and the option for the headlights to be up. And yes, it will be displayed with the doors up!

Darn, you are right, much more detailed kits that I have
Toast Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah, I'm pretty excited to start on it, but pretty intimidated at the same time!
Twokidsnosleep Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I have a 1/16 Ferrari F40 coming from Japan, the Enthusiast version. I plan on making the Gas Monkey black F40, maybe for this build thread, we shall see how time goes Edited January 13, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep
Project510 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Im a little late to the party but I will join. This on the workbench right now. I have not done much at all besides look over the kit and its instructions. I am a little surprised at how off the kit wheels are. One terrible thing people are doing to get these cars lowered is giving them a horrible stance. I want a stock oem stance, but a low ride height. The wheels in the kit which are supposed to be scaled at 15x6.5 actually scale to 17x10.5 if I am doing the math right. That will be what I work the most at trying to correct. Edited January 21, 2015 by Project510
Toast Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Scott, I have the F40 as well and it looks like it will be an amazing kit! I'm excited to see your progress. I hunted down the Countach to be my practice run for the F40.
Twokidsnosleep Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Scott, I have the F40 as well and it looks like it will be an amazing kit! I'm excited to see your progress. I hunted down the Countach to be my practice run for the F40. Hey Ryan, It does look like a great kit and such a cool car, especially when you tell me the detail level is upped of these versions. I have quite a list of stuff ahead of that build so not sure when it will get going...almost hate to say what I plan to do out loud so I don't get anyone's hopes up. I will follow along on your Lambo build, made a Tamiya version of that car long ago and far away in my early teens Cheers man, Scott
Project510 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Had a small amount of time to work on something so I got some Tamiya Primer on the body.
Twokidsnosleep Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) My kit came Monday This is what I have been planning to make,perfect for a build thread on Fujimi's It is the Gas Monkey F40....not really a huge fan of the drama queen show, but the car and the mechanic guy are cool So now it is trying to find time. I have to finish my MG build first: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=96619&hl= and have a May 4th Star Wars Tie Fighter group build on another site to do. Oh and work, kids and dog to look after.... Wife wants to knock the house down and build another, so that might put a monkey wrench into all my plans! Keep posting your stuff up guys!! had to edit the pics as I messed with them on photo bucket, sorry Edited July 17, 2017 by Twokidsnosleep Photobucket sucks!!!
Project510 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Agreed, the show is a bit staged.. but they build some nice cars.
Toast Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm glad they had the balls to customize the F40. I love the car and understand it's history, but if I spent a million plus on a car I'd throw a couple hundred thousand more at it so it's not the same as everyone else's red F40. I think it's the equivalent of a woman showing up to a party in an elegant dress to find another woman there wearing the same dress. And I could probably get both their numbers if I pulled up in that car.
