Cumulonimbus Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) That's an amazing build Pascal, so much detail, especially in 1:20 scale! You should be very proud of the end result, well done! May I just ask how did you achieve such a wonderfully realistic 'heat staining' effect on those exhausts? Kev.

Pete in Lincs Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Beautiful. A real blast from the past. A proper racing car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi, Thank you very much! I wanted something realistic, but had to play with White Metal and turned Alu parts for the exhaust... I just thought that the easiest way to depict the stainless steel heat stain was to... heat stainless steel! So I cut and replace the original parts with SS tubes which were heated with a mini torch: simply real heat stains Pascal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearsightedjohn Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Be still my beating heart!!!! The most beautiful race car of all time IMO! If I were ever to venture into an MFH kit, this would be the one. Fabulous job Pascal!!!! I was fortunate to see this 1:1 car in the flesh at the Rolex Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca in 2010, a weekend tribute to Dan the Man. In addition to his extensive collection of other Eagles, Ford brought out the red Ford GT Mk IV that he won Le Mans in ‘67 to display. Mr. Gurney walked around on a cane that weekend but made a point of greeting all of his adoring fans (like me). He was a class act and a hell of an engineer and competitor. All the great ones seem to be fading away lately...😔 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
