Re: Detailing a Ferrari Mythos

Hey, long time in between projects... Nice to see the passion is back! This is one model I personally debated to add initially, and never did. I can't wait to see the results. BTW, I cannot see any photos. Where are you hosting them? It's on Google: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TsbSc7KhvefW32nL9 I cha...

Detailing a Ferrari Mythos

Last week I came across a Guiloy Ferrari Mythos on internet. I didn't know it existed! It was just 15 euro, so swiftly purchased. While in transit I also discovered the existence of the Revell diecast model of this car and it was purchased for the mighty sum of 7,50 euro. They arrived this weekend a...

Re: Do you know Donkervoort?

It's Dutch, not German. I hope this is a pre-production example. Lots of glue visible through the mesh. I hope they make the white one as well. Looks stunning. When that's out I am going to the factory to pick one up (just 1 hour drive from me).

Re: Mondo Motors 1/18 Pagani Zonda F coupe improve/modify

I am reviving this thread. Although I don't have much time at the moment (working in the house and my small business is taking more time), I hope this autumn and winter to get serious again and start working on the Zonda's. I am storing the Vector W8 project because of problems with the scissor door...

Re: Photobucket takes photo's hostage

It seems Photobucket has changed its payment schedule and hosted pics are visible again. They now have a free signup and smaller fees for paid storage and hosting. It won't work. Noone trusts Photobucket anymore, but anyway nice to see their photo hostage scheme failed.

Re: 1/18 Maisto Ford GT90 rebuilt and improved

Also updated this thread with new photo links. Maybe not as flashy as a Pagani, but I still adore this model.

Re: Mondo Motors/Motor Max 1/18 Pagani Zonda F Roadster diec

I have reuploaded all build pics to freephotoupload.com and repaired the links, because I get questions (and offers) regularly about this model. I won't sell this one, but who knows one day I build the perfect Zonda Roadster with detailed engine. Maybe make 2 at the same time so I can sell one (some...

Re: Ricko 1/18 Vector W8 rebuild and improve WIP

I am still here, but the real world got back to me so had to shelve the project. Revenue of my coffee and tea business has tumbled in a way it is difficult to keep the shop going. It is very painful because I put all my effort in it and always have been very enthusiastic about our small business. Th...

Re: Super glue leaked on paint :(

Never use superglue on the outside of models or on clear parts. I use a clear slow drying glue. It gives me time to position the part (sometimes I have to hold it in place for a few minutes) and remove glue residue with alcohol. Then it needs to dry for 24 hours and is strong enough for fixing small...

Re: Decal making software

As an example what I made for my Zonda. By sticking them on bare metal foil, I made metal logo's. Not perfect, but I am not auto Art. I even made decals for the brakes. Very easy. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pJ82J89Kg4QOQTG_5x41JrDIfHRPuNCcRAThx4UCvfsvs9d7tBAGUFIDRr4ZbPT2aV9Hsf3zwJ7OiVjgkh7H6d...

Re: Decal making software

I have used an ancient Photoshop 5.0 that can be downloaded for free. I made 1200dpi files for printing on both laser- and inkjet printer. I made files for my Zonda and my GT90 project. I find PSP very easy to use, get a good image and size it to the proper dimensions and dpi. I never had the idea t...

Re: First Look: CMF 1:18 Isdera Commendatore 112i 1993

Oh that's tempting. Awesome car, would display perfectly with the Vector W8 and Ford GT90. But depends on the price, I am not going to pay top dollar for a resin model.

Re: Tesla Roadster 0-60 in 1.9 Seconds

Pretty car, but too expensive. Goes the same way as the Honda/Acura NSX. I would buy a Lotus or Porsche instead for equal fun and a fraction of the price.
