1/32-1/35 Mille Miglia 1931

[Michael Robert]

Wow, Challenger,
Your love of detail and precise execution is mindblowing . Even the wires are straight...
The car is very nice. Your progress steps allow me to understand a bit how to achieve such a master piece.
To the earlier pictures of the people - I am just as impressed. Further your hesitation to add the 18+ gag is justified. It kind of lacks elegance , whereas you have already 2 lovely ladies in the bathroom and on the balcony. Just my 2 cents
Enjoying your dio a lot
Greetings

Michael, i wasnt sure to use it, after the Posting i found anpther Fugure . I want a little Sidestory , better a Gag, dont like when Modelling goes to seriously. So i ordered this....

[Graeme]

The Bugatti is fabulous, I want one!

The buildings all look fantastic and the electric lighting is great, I love the desk lamp. Really nice group of spectators and other inhabitants of the houses. This will be sensational.

I feel the coupling couple might take away from the brilliance of this rather than adding to it but the addition of the new figure will make a big difference if she is to be used with them. She sort of gives a reason for their inclusion.

Exceptional modelling as always.

Genius in action.

Best wishes,

Chris

"Der Feldmarshall" is now a real nice 3D print! You are naughty! You know that?

[Michael Robert]

Well, Challenger 77, your new lady certainly is serious. A very serious gag. What can I say? Where do you obtain such figures - this is another 3D print for sure. Interesting what story you make of this one - put her in front of the 18+ mature couple?
Just having a break during my work and laughing my head off
Thanks a lot

Hello Guys after some Weeks of gluing, carving, casting, painting, some Try and Error Issues, the second Car get near finisch. its a Pyrokit from 1966, it should represent the famous Alfa Romeo 6C1750 GS Zagato with Giuseppe Campari on the Wheel.. The overall Shape is not Bad, but due the Age of this Kit, Details are rare or simply not there. So the Wheels are 2 Plasticdiscs with engraved, but not see-throug Spokes, only the Driver Side Door was there, the Spare Wheels sit way to high on the Reardeck and so on. So all on the kit, thas not red, i have added. Casted some Side vents, added Wire for Steering and Breaking Linkage with Parts from old Tankkits and so on. Figures are altered ones from Penelepoe Pitlane.The Rims are absolutly Stunning Turn Alloys with Etched Spokes from Peter Saeger-Thomas Have to rebuild it partially, after i killed the superthin wires on one Side , so the "Lamps" dont light up..... .still a WIP, but the Finishline is near.























This Car has a Light for the licensplate also. I recreatet it with some Brass from a Etchpart and a small Tube.









Brass Tubes , in this case square ones, also used for the Frontlightbar



The Cooler is also a bit Weird, so a real Mesh got there. In reality this was a bit before the Cooler, but there is simply no Space to do it right....











First try how it looks and if the Lights are functional









After this Test, I also recreate the Windowframe with add-on Side Mirror/Lamp , the Original Kitpart looks simply odd.







fresh out of the Paintbox and after the Rebuild













So only the Cockpitlight is nearly invisible. lets see if i can make it a bit brighter.

Kind Regards from Vienna !

I was only thinking the other day that I had not seen an update on this fabulous project.

The car is sensational, a testament to your imagination and modelling skills.

Fantastic work.

Best wishes,

Chris

[Susofrick]

Same for me. Missed this a bit and wondered if something had happened. Great that you are still here! And marvelous work!

[Challenger77]

Hello Guys, thank you for the kind Words !
Well iam untill February in 100% Homeoffice, living alone, see Friends only once in the Week, a bit depressing, so i have no Inspiration to do some Work on this. ..... But now i have some "good" Ideas ...i hope Struggle how to make the Red Dustcvovers on the Headlights, may be Vacuformed

[MABO]

I am happy as well to see progress in this topic. The work on all the details is incredible for me since I am the straight out of the box man.

So keep up your great work!
