Re: I Checked in to Rehab - Ferrari 312B

Some modelers have asked me how I disassembled the original built kits successfully. None of the models have any super glue, so they all are either old Testors glue or the Tamiya cement that came in the kits back then. I can tell Tamiya cement was different and similiar in composition to what they h...

Re: Penske PC6, AMT, 1/25

Awesome build Marco! I have NEVER seen this kit built before, and your lengthy modifications do it justice!

Do you have any photos of the raw rapid prototype parts you made? It would be cool to share the raw parts...

Re: I Checked in to Rehab - Ferrari 312B

I made my first mold from silicone, and a few parts. Very easy to do, and mirrors came out pretty nice. I lost these mirrors somewhere, so I stole a set from the McLaren garage when the mechanics went to the pub. Emerson is gonna be in for a big surprise at first practice. Sorry for the small pictur...

Re: Ferrari 312 T4 Tamiya

Where did you source your alternative screws from? I am looking for the smaller nuts such as Tamiya put in their hubs for wheel attachments

Re: New Website of Completed Kits

Hugo, that is a great way to display your models, both on the shelf and online! Thanks for the hard work!

I only got through the 1/12 models, sports cars and F1. Awesome work.

My main question is - HOW do you build so many models in your lifetime? Unbelievable work.

Thank you.

Re: I Checked in to Rehab - Ferrari 312B

I have moved on to a little bodywork. Chinamalc, I have taken in your suggestion and removed the inner fairing on the front wings. I had already painted them so had to be careful on material removal. Not perfect but better I suppose. https://i.postimg.cc/g0NCwnmv/IMG_4503.jpg Then installation on th...

Well I didn't get this today - as in a purchase.

However I found these fine reference photos for the 934. May have been posted elsewhere, I don't know.

Such a beautiful machine. Nice and subtle.

31 were produced.

Re: 1/12 Ferrari 312 B3 1974 MG Model Plus

Keep going! I love your work. The production of the exhaust looks real consuming and the results are worth it. I am not fully familiar with the casting process using plasticine (is this plaster?). is this just a base to start from, then make first one silicone on top of it, flip it and make the seco...

Re: Re-release Scale Motorsport Porsche 935 1/12 set

Wow, over a Thousand US dollars. That is not a price for me unfortunately. However this is a beautiful set of parts. More than I would need or find on my model because they would go lost somewhere near my bench! :) I could go for a fraction of those parts that really show, like the wheels, brakes an...
