GT Racing Models, what do you got

[IMSAFAN1]

i'm making the R10 out of resin and machined parts. a total of 400 parts to be made. it will be a 1/12th scale model.

will it have open engine or no, because that would be badass, that will take you quite along time building that up to strach, but I'd like to see it when its done

[IMSAFAN1]

it will have a motor in it....i have to make the body in one piece but it will have the separation lines in case someone wants to cut the body and remove the panels..i figure it will take about a year to make from start to finish.

I have a friend who has built many 1/12 cars from scratch. Good luck!

A R8 would be easier, as someone makes a 1/12 engine kit...

i've already made an R8...1/12th scale...I make cars only for private collectors not for public sale. Every detail that's on the 1:1 car is in my 1/12th scale car. even all the little head bolts in the motor are machined. this car is going to a collector in Japan. He has about 25 pieces of mine already. I keep the molds.

That's sad.

I've got the #007 Aston Martin by Autoart (1:18) and am looking at a Solido model of one of the other DBR9s - mainly because its half the price.

Anyone know what the quality of the Solido models are like or am I better off saving up for another Autoart one and paying the extra?

That sounds awesome! Any chance of some pics of your work?

I don't have a web site never needed one....I have 2 years worth of work right now..everything is word of mouth for me..i have clients all over the world. If I put the number two out front on the grid then you'll know who won. Right now I'm working on a Vasek Polok 917.

No, I don't mean a website to generate sales, just pictures of your cars. Your pieces sound very interesting. There are dozens of sites that allow you to store and host digital pics online and post the photos at sites like this.

A gentleman who posts as "Chaparral" does something similar, though he mainly focuses on Champ and Indy cars. The pictures he posts show the amazing detail of the cars he builds.

Hello fellow model collectors. I mainly collect ChampCar diecast but I also like collecting GT's and have a reasonable collection. I am quite a fan of prototypes and was very happy to see Montoya win the Rolex 24 hour race last weekend. The first thing I thought was "Man I want a diecast of that car" I contacted Motorsport Authentics who made Daytona Prototypes in the past and asked if they would make one. I was basically told no.

If you are like me and you want one of these cars in your collection can I ask that you contact Motorsport Authentics and tell them you want one. After all without demand there is no supply....

As a fan of Montoya since he was in F3000, I'd love to have this car.

Thanks, Sween. I'll do my part and email M/A.
