moparmagiclives Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Man, I didn't realize how big that thing is, untill I seen you holding the seat. That's a table monster for sure !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 What's THIS?? Rom, building in 1/8......and it's a Ferrari no less....................... Just kidding mate. Man, you know I do love a good large scale build, and this is 1 sweet build you have right here mate. The old saying of turning a sours ear into a silk purse comes to mind. These larger Pocher kits really should have a lot of this great detail already in the kit, such a shame that another high cost trans-kit is also required. Never the less, I know that with your attention to detail Rom, you will even surpass that level, plus have a hoot doing it. GREAT work mate.

Glad you joined us Greg and i agree with you a model of this scale should have had lots more detail. but im glad i get to add it LOL! I got to get a few small details finished or atleast started ....so heres a inside peek. heres the clutch and brake pedels I made them slightly curved like in the real F40 I also soldered together the ignition key and painted the keychain, then incased it in clear epoxy here it is in the almost finished dash , I still have to install the gauges The gauges are made from 4 differant pieces and I made the bubble lense from clear 5 min epoxy.... these are the air conditioning ducts that fit in the top of the dash , these had to be soldered together also... lastly I wanted to show you the brake cooling duct I added CF to the inside Thanks for joining me see ya real soon!.....
