AF Group Build: A Tribute To The 60 Red Years

[ferraripaul]

... please count me it with a 1979 312 T4.

It was a hard decision - I'm currently lost in managing my addiction to 1/12 Ferraris. I was considering some other 1/12 cars as well:

• 1965 275 GTB
• 1967 Dino 166 F2
• 1976 312 T2
• 1981 512 BB IMSA

Maybe I'll make it with one of the other candidates. As working life is quite busy, this will be a slow one ...

Well I got some good inspiration today, went to a car show and sat in a 360 modena spyder, got a picture of me, the wife and my daughter sitting in it...man she sat nice. Picked up some ferrari shirts, and sat in a Porsche Cayman(damn I fit into it just a little too nicely..lol) anyway updates hopefully coming this week on my entries..

I wanted to answer in a thread 1 or 2 days ago and needed to try several times all the afternoon till it worked...
I think there is a general problem, even rallyraider had problems to moderate a post if I read well...

Yep, there is a problem at the moment. I can't start a WIP thread either.

Dont' start a WIP, I think it would be a better show if all the builds were kept secret until show day...mine are anyway.

Er, well you're too late, several of us have already. And honestly, this isn't some pro super-competitive contest, it's fun. I'll gladly show mine off and give and receive suggestions.

You mean you won't start a WIP? Oh god I was waiting for your WIP... I think tigeraid was right. It's a fun, not only a finished model but the whole course. BTW may I ask what's your entry please?

Mmm... that would mostly mean for each of us making a WIP in one single throw the last day !
I don't think it's really possible for such a contest, where most of the fun is to share and follow original builds as incredible jewels, from street cars to racing beasts.
your idea may be fun for showing a build result, not with WIP...
that's my opinion.

(who start his build but not his WIP, I take some adance on building ! )

TBH I didn't interpret Veyron's suggestion as being "pro super-competitive contest" in nature. I believe it was just a suggestion how to add an extra element of fun. But maybe I'm wrong.

Having said that, I still believe it would be MORE fun and in the spirt of the tribute to see lots of Ferrari WIPs on an on-going basis throughout the year. At least it will help ensure that there are more rather than less entries (I think I was the pessimist Tang had in mind with the 25% number he mentioned earlier )

Anyway, the WIP I am unable to start is for the Super 7 group build NOT the Ferrari tribute (we'll see what the ratio of completed entries to declared participation is in THAT group build ... )

[stryfe101]

hmm..well that was discouraging, I just spent the better part of an hour unsuccessfully trying to super glue a warped(and reshaped) resin MSM Stradale front bumper and side skirts to my 360 kit...I guess I need to get rid of the mold release first, then get a new container of super glue and some accelerator...oh well, at least I did get some paint sprayed onto the block... as soon as I can get some pics I will post some threads up of my work....

[auw12]

Guys do you know whom I can contact and may help us solve the problems?

Yes, I don't view it as a contest at all, just a show.

In watching a WIP thread it is nice to see progress and how things are done but torward the end of the WIP thread you basically see the finished product ergo not much of a surprise.

It was just a thought I had. Carry on my Red friends!
