CrazyCrank Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Well, guys, everyone who has followed my build in the WIP section don't find hereunder any news. I've tried to make better shots than with my iPhone, using a DSLR camera (Canon EOS 80D), and editing them with Lightroom So, after 9 months of work, sometimes funny, often difficult, to improve the quality and the detailing of this already accurate kit, this is the result, 360° counterclockwise tour And focusing on some details: My techniques improve greatly during this build, it remains though on this car a lot of mistakes, defects, broken parts etc.... so, it's far to be a perfect build, and even to be a correct build, but it's better than the previous one, and, hopefully, the next one will be good. So, stay tuned for the two next builds: - the continuation of the Delahaye 135 - and a new sample of this iconic MB 300 SL gulwing: I'll try to represent the car which was 5th overall in the 1955 edition of the famous Mille Miglia, driven by John Fitch. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fnick Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 An excellent build. Silver is IMHO a very difficult colour to get right. You did a superb job. Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It was good watching this one come together, and it's an excellent end result. Looking forward to doing mine even more having seen this (although mine will be out of the box), but if your other one is the same quality as this I need you to finish it before I start mine so there is no side-by-side comparison putting mine to shame 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Church Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The luggage is incredibly effective--it transforms the interior compared to the kit's featureless plastic. Great work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I really need to buy at least one version of this kit. At one point I think I had more scale (ish) representations of the 300SL than any other car (from a 1:18 Bburago to a 1:87 branded Monogram, I think). It has been great to watch the build progress and it's a pleasure to see the final result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
