Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing Daimler Silver/Red interior, with lots of PE parts and scratched additional parts


Recommended Posts

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.

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 :)

  • CrazyCrank changed the title to Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing Daimler Silver/Red interior, with lots of PE parts and scratched additional parts

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.
