hey lotus_man do they sell the Dome Judd Racing for Holland 04' the one
that was driven by Justin wilson

They did the 03 version, so I expect we will see both O4 cars. Keep an eye on www.grandprixmodels.co.uk, or you can pre order it and they'll send it through when it's released.

I hope GPM will be giving you a discount. This is one of those projects that appearing Four Small Wheels mag, I hope they will feature your finished product.

Have you got any of the cars through the post yet??

I will definitely be watching this one!

For a second I though you were building 1:24

lotus_man · 07-23-2004, 02:07 PM

Well, no kits yet (winner should be arriving in a couple of weeks, may be some others sooner fingers crossed). But my copy of the Le Mans special of Automodelisme magazine shipped today, so I can start drewling over all of those cars I've got waiting for me. Think I'm most looking forward to doing the Zytec and the RollCentre Dallara-Judd. Those were seriously nice looking cars. I'll post a review of the mad when it arrives for those planning Le Mans projects based on this years race, but it's usually a vital purchase.

Sure! And Le Mans Miniature has just announced they'll realease this year Audi winner!
( http://www.mafma.com/liste.php?Marqu...1&motsclef=NEW )

For those who have the money! (If I can, I'd take it: the best looking R8 to my eyes!)

(and if you want "some" R8 pics, go there: first link on Google pic searching: http://kak.net/audi/audi-r8.htm !!!!)

Well, no models yet... but Automodelisem has arrived. It's great... if you plan to build one of this years cars it's a must. Each car has a single page of photos, plus a list of the color codes needed to paint the body. The photography is top notch as is the production.

On a more expensive track, my display case also arrived. It's hand built here in the UK by a specialist company and I have to say was well worth the money. By coincidence there's room for 48 models in it all told so it's perfect. I've just got it up on the wall with a few 'place holders' in it for now! If anyone wants details of the cabinet makers PM me and I'll fill you in.

Oh well, of to waiting for the models to start arriving (any day now I here).

PRIVATEER · 07-28-2004, 02:02 PM

That display case is very nice,does it have a glass front?

lotus_man · 07-28-2004, 03:57 PM

It's an oak carcase with glass shelves and front. You access the models by releaseing four catches and removing the entire front of the case leaving just the shelves and sides.

It was pretty pricey, and I'm hoping the immense weight won't pull the wall down. It seals air tight however, so it should stop any dust getting on the models. Should also stop my other half moaning that they are always in the way!

bigford550 · 07-29-2004, 01:26 AM

lotus that shelf is really nice
i'am happy for you that you have
something that nice to show off the
starting line up good work

RallyRaider · 07-29-2004, 05:14 AM

That case is great, must be a bit daunting realising you need to fill it!
Looks like it is rescessed into the wall in that shot.

Beautiful display case, however in my mind I thought you was going to make a Le Mans starting grid dioramma complete with Denizen/Le Mans Miniatures pit crew, spectators and stuff

Sennake · 07-29-2004, 07:22 AM

I wish you lots of luck and lots of courage

(This really is ambigious isn't it?)

I am currently building the 6 Belgian entries of Le Mans 2003 and so far I finished 3 of them in 3 months, so building 48 models would take me about 4 years...

lotus_man · 07-29-2004, 10:33 AM

It may take a while, I hope to be done by the start of the race next year.

I do plan to do that when the cars are all done, they will live in the case untill I have managed to replicate the start straight at Le Mans.
