Madmonk Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Had this sat on the shelf of doom for a couple of months so finally got round to completing it last night. Tameo 1/43rd white metal kit. Wings and suspension are photo etch, wheels are turned and tyre are rubber. Painted using Vallejo model air and Zero pre mixed gloss Thanks for looking.

roymattblack Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Looks a real stunner. I've built lots of 1/43 kits so I appreciate the skill thats gone into this one. Looking at the pics, you'd never guess it was 1/43. Many people here have probably never worked in 1/43 so they have little idea of how SMALL your model is - total wheel/tyre diameter around half an inch! I've got the Tamiya 1/20 (similar) kit and it was a joy to put together. Amazing job there. Really well done. Roy.

macgregor Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Oh I just drooling over my laptop now! She is just gorgeous, fantastic build, well done. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. xw302, yes they are small, overall dimensions are approx 11cm long and 4 cm wide. These kits are relatively simple compared with the World Championship Series Tameo do, still 1/43 but with over 300 parts and lift off body work! The Williams FW11 is a particular favourite of mine.

Paolo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 real nice williams there. Not so easy in 43rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Spad, yep really 1/43rd, here it is with a Tamiya paint pot. And with a few of my other 1/43rd builds, the second from the left is one of the Tameo World Champion Series, full engine detail and lift off parts. Amazing models with some 300 - 400 parts!! Thanks for the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
composite guru Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Very nice. Especially at that scale. I thought 1/20 was small enough. Top work. Edited December 19, 2012 by composite guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Cheers Guru, I prefer this scale to 1/20 due to size and subject availibility, only draw back is price with a good kit setting you back anything between £40 and £120. When you add a few figures they make excellent diorama! Tameo have just released the RB8 from Bahrain and that will set you back £73 without any engine detail! A nice RB8 pit stop diorama would be a fitting gift from the team to SV, I'm available for commissions!! All the best, Warren Edited December 19, 2012 by Madmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumphfan Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Very nice models. I love the Honda RA302 diorama. Such a tragic story, Jo Schlesser and that awful fire. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Cheers Paul, have a good one yourself. Steve, the Honda was a strange commission considering the subject and as you say the story behind it. It was the SRC kit though I did modify it a bit to make it stronger for posting to the USA.

triumphfan Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Mmmm. Your customer must have an interest with the macabre. Thinking about it though, you could have a huge collection if you based it on crashed cars and deceased drivers. Especially from the 50's to the 70's. Doesn't bear thinking about really.
