Guigsy Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 My dad picked up a model of a supra a while ago and started making it for me. he finished it the other week and gave it me in a lovely display case. Thaught you guys might like to see its in pride of place on my mantelpiece in my living room.

Guigsy Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 yeah next time i get chance ill take some picture of all the other stuff he has done.he's done loads of f1 cars about a foot long. paints all the engines and everything like that. all the tiny little wires. Weathers the tyres with sand paper so they look used. Hes just finished an enzo and has plastered the cockpit with carbon fibre decals He's done tanks and planes and helecopters (doing the one from M.A.S.H atm.) He's done an awesome orange porche. Oh and the best one i think he has done is hms victory with all the ropes and planks of wood and cannons etc. very impressive. its about 3.5 foot long and has a massive desplay case. It took him ages to do. he started just before i was born and finished it when i was about 16! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 My dad has taken about 100 or so pictures of his models today! Here are the ones ive got from him so far. Enzo - Just to put it into context im not sure of the scale but its very small. no more than 20 cm long. http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/6993/img12861vt8.jpg And yes. all those "carbon fibre" are transfers. cut to shape. http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3876/img12902sl6.jpg http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9677/img12913fn8.jpg http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/5613/img12934lv5.jpg Porche - This car has been on my dads shelf as long as i remember. He probably made it before i was born (im 24). The transfers are starting to age a little but i love this car. Especialy the choice of sponsor http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/7922/img12981zn9.jpg I have some more cars on the way probably. Ill update this post when i get them.

jevansio Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Those are amazing. Are the models built to the instructions in the kit (it looks like he goes one step further and adds paint & details & stuff that aren't even in the kit!!!)
