I hope mine comes out half as nice!

Hi all, I have started my build of the CMR York conversion kit. However, mine is the "Berlin Airlift" version (it was a gift) and I'd really like to do a civil version. CMR did a civil version with DanAir and BOAC decals. I contacted CMR but no joy. I was wondering if anyone out there knows where I can get civil decals for the York, or perhaps someone built the civil version and has the other decal option laying around. Thanks, Mark

Here is my build of the Tamiya 1/12 Lotus 49b. This is the old motorized release, so the engine is a bit overscale. I built it as the car driven by Walker Racings Jo Siffert. Siffert ran an early 49b without the nosevents, narrow front wings and a shorter rear wing. Intake mesh is from MFH and decals are from Indycals. First up was to get rid of the nose vents and narrow the wings. I backed the openings with card and filled them with glazing putty. Here the left wing has been modified: I used the front supports on the rear wing and removed a further 1/2in off the bottom. The finished prod

Finished! This car was the last roadster to run in the Indy 500 (71) and was the last to turn a lap at IMS (77). I'll be doing the 77 version at some point in the future.

This is the Lance Sellers kit of the Jim Hurtubise 71 Mallard. It is a resin kit with white metal detail parts.
-
Glad you guys like it. No masking, that was all hand painted with a brush.

I don't build many figures, in fact this is only my 4th one. I have not mastered shading and highlighting yet, so she doesn't have any. Painted with MM acrylics.

Haven't posted anything since my Brabham build. I've been busy but not so busy I couldn't build something. Here are my most recent builds: Tamiya 1/12 1971 Ferrari 312B Revival 1/20 1961 Ferrari 156 "Sharknose" (metal body) Revival 1/20 1935 Alfa Romeo P3 (plastic body) American Racing Miniatures 1/25 1927 Stutz "Black Hawk" Currently in the building stage: Revival 1/20 1939 Mercedes W154 (metal body)

Yes they are, she'll be my 4th figure. Nice job on the eyes!
-
She's about half done... I always struggle doing the face. I don't really do very good figures...

Here's a few pics of my Lotus 78 build. I used Museum Collections decals to do Gunnar Nilsson's car.

Tamiya 1/12 Brabham BT-44b: Indycals decals and tire logos used, as the kit decals were no good.
-
Thanks Kris, I'll try F1M. Worse comes to worse, I'll try casting a tire in resin.

I know most of you guys don't build 1/12, but I thought I'd at least ask. I recently bought a Tamiya 1/12 Ferrari 312B on Ebay. Turns out it's missing the front radiator, all 4 shocks and 1 rear tire. Any chance one of you guys have a glue bomb sitting around and would be willing to sell me these parts? I can do without the radiator and shocks, but I really need that tire! Thanks!

It just happen to be the next kit in the queue... but it seems appropriate. Although I'd love to find a Brabham BT-19 to build in his honor.
-
FINISHED! Next up.... Brabham BT-44. :D
-
Chassis finished and I have the cowl almost done. Should have the build finished tomorrow.

Everyone talks about how it was all Maldonado's fault. Sure, fault lies with him, but I think Gutierrez should have known that Maldonado was there. I don't think he should have turned in so hard, knowing a car was coming up the inside. IMHO, it wasn't ALL Maldonado's fault. I think F1 goes a little crazy with this "causing an accident" crap anyway.

I started this project as my 2nd entry into the recent GB but didn't get it done. Progress has been made however, the chassis is done and waiting on body panels...
-
Does anybody purchase kits that have been started?

I do it all the time, never know what you're gonna come across. I picked up this 1/12 Lotus 72D on the cheap, it looked like this when I got it: The finished product: The amount of work done and the price are the deciding factors... -
Looking good Kris. I see those 2 little circles are still slightly visible on the upper cowl... very strange.
-
Got the M23 kit from Ron already! I've decided I'm going to back-date it to Peter Revsons 1973 British GP winning car. AZRM makes an airbox to do the conversion and I can get the Revson decals from Indycals.
-
WOW! I can't believe it! Thanks to Kris for running the GB and to Ron for donating such a cool prize. It was a great GB and there were some very nice builds. I can't wait for the next one! Thanks again guys.

Was a great GB Kris. Heck, I even managed to finish something! We'll have to do this again...
