Wow! I hadn't seen this thread until today. Great work! Your attention to detail is fantastic. I do have a question about paint though...is it all assembled and your painting after assembly or are you just test fitting?

It amazes me more and more every time I see a new progress pic.
Top work kurtl. :bigthumb:

:worshippy we're not worthy :worshippy

Unreal.

In this shot, it kind of looks like a modified. :biggrin:

Buit in all seriousness, this is still one of my favorite builds on the forums. The detail and the accuracy is just boggling.

The only thing I can say is, a truly work of art!!!!!!!

words cant describe this build... it's so amazingly detailed, and well done... when i first saw this project i thought "he isn't going to pull this off" looks like i was wrong, this is turning out to be one of the most dedicated and detailed builds i've ever seen... great job

This is just absolutely, completely, without question, awesome.

Nothing to say, i'm stunned.

There's a kind of magic seeing this model taking shape!... It looks like the 1:1 car cannot be more detailed...
Where have you found those nice PE mesh?
Apart from that, no comment neither: I'm just staying in front of my computer's screen, mouth opened and eyes round... Just like that: :eek:

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

wuld you be able to show or tell us how u built the external wastegate.

o my god i was going to look at something else
when i hit this build be mistake
that is a bad ass car if you dont glue
all the front end and rear end joints every thing
will work OH MY GOD!!!!

That´s REALLY nice! outstanding detail!
Keep it up!

freakin wow!

3 words: I am Spetchless!!!!

Did i lready say that i simply love this model ;)

The mods on the front hood seem to be the most understandable... But the rear hood!!! How did you make it? Is it primed, or is it "just" styrene sheet made? Its fit looks perfect! :eek: One can believe it's easy, just looking at the pics. But it must have taken a lot of time (and skills) to achieve!!!

... Each update is another :eek: (no word for it)!...

My feeling is that this level of detail and accuracy can be seen usualy on 1:8 metal hand made models, it's the first time I see something looking so real on a 1/24 plastic model!

Thanks for sharing the steps of this wonderfull build!

what he said!

Completely insane...
Why did you buy the kit if you're building a new one ? For the roof and tyres ?
I love it.

I love seeing models in these stages of completion. Paint hides how much work goes into them, and here you can see it all.

Anyone got any smelling salts...?

Awesome!!!! your work is amazing! and words can not describe it!!!

i want to see more of it! and you must take lot and lot of pitures of it before you prime it!

...a small update.......sorry I cannot do good English,therefore I do not write much

Wow, this is an amazing build, I'm stunned. I'm really looking forward to seeing this one complete. If AF runs a model of the year contest this year I figure this will be one of the favourites...

Keep on building!

.....here still another small preview like the model looks up to now!!!

it's alright that you dont speak english well, the photos speak for themselves... so i dont mind!

It's a piece of art...

:worshippy This build is amazing

I wonder who still believes it's an 1/24 model... :lol:
I'm just speechless, your pics made me loose my english!
:eek: & :worshippy !

:worshippy
same as here....

Dein Capri sucht echt seinesgleichen, Kurtl :smokin:

Wow, I'm just....wow? :eek7: :eek7: :eek7:

Awesome!!!!

WOW !


Unglaublich!

Superb and getting even better every update!

Olivier

:worshippy You are the master of scratchbuilding !!!
Mike :smokin:

I'm not entirely sure this can be called a model anymore...maybe a "small scale replica" would be a better term to describe all the work and talent you've shown so far!

.....the front spoiler is finished now.

Holy shit!!!

model of the year

Never seen anything quite like this before!!!

Amazing work, I've only just seen this thread and had to add a reply so that I get kept updated.

Most amazing build i have seen so far !!

:biggrin: That is awsome! I can see a lot of work and effort went into this! Great Job! :eek2:

Work? Psh... he's got a half dozen little men genetically engineered to be 1:24 scale and work as his build team.

Seriously, that's beautiful. Is that front end strong at all? I can't really see much holding it on.... Do you hold your breath throughout construction?

OMG this is seriously beautifull, amazing, stunning work. you have god-like skills :p

This'll be the chief of all models!!! :smokin:

This must be the most thrilling work in progress I´ve ever seen.

Kurtl, one question: do you ever make mistakes? (I mean, in measuring and gluing those little parts... please say yes!! I even can´t get to glue right the rear wing on my Panoz)

Now I know why I don't have much modelling skills... they´ve been all handed over to you!

:eek2: :worshippy

awesome as always!

waouuu good job

You have gold hands man ! Do you draw each part before making it, and how do you make the spoiler hold with those tiny rods ?

sweeet racer man! I too was wondering how to get the front spoiler to stay attached with so little material....

Nice build dude!
