Red face Need help from Frankenstein here.

I like to ask a favor here, can any of the scratchbuild pro or frankenstein here in AF can tell me what model would be sutiable for these few project I plan to work on?

Marserati MC12R - Tamiya Enzo?
Pagani Zonda - ?
McLaren Mercedes SLR - 500SL, Fujimi SLK?
Peugeot 407 silhouette - Peugeot 206?
Lotus exige - ?
Gillet Vertigo - Super 7?
Koenigsegg CC-R - F50?
Bugatti Veyron - ?

I think most of the car are pretty familiar to most. I'm not good in Super car, so I really hope those whose know can lend some help, thanks.

Rtuned aka David

Re: Need help from Frankenstein here.

I think the Maserati MC12 would be a great project, considering it is basically an Enzo.

I think there was somebody here that has already started the Maserati conversion from the Enzo.

Great ideas man!
As for the Lotus Exige, maybe you can use a Tamiya Eunos for the base.
Good luck!

I dunno if it's any help to you...

But I would go for the zonda maybe somewhere along the likes of the Caspita Giotto (you know, the fujimi Prototype)
as for the gillet vertigo, I think it will be very hard based on the super 7!
Maybe even the easiest way would be from starting from a 24th scale resin body (I think some company called Resilient Resins makes this) and work your way from there, but it will be pretty hard, but you ve surely got the skills.

BTW, I love your selection of models!

What is that title for the thread (name as maserati mc12R or others)? How long is that thread posted(recently or 1 month ago)?

bigfrit... thanks. Yes, why I didn't think of it, the Caspita Giotto do look close to it. As for the Gillet Vertigo, I wait till I get the Tamiya Morgan then I start on it.

I think I will starting on these project next year. Must start from something more easy first before start to do something scary! It a new test to me if these project is successful and if fail, then it will be a good lesson to keep it.

Marserati MC12R
Pagani Zonda
Peugeot 407 silhouette
2003 Laraki Fulgura concept
2004 GT40 concept and
Tomahawk
