Ford Capri Gr.5 "Open Version " in progress

How did you make the air hose? Is it a drinking straw? This thing looks incredible! The wires seem about right to me, but it's hard to tell. Just fantastic!

I agree with willimo, the wiring is great so far !

@ willimo

...the air hose is a thin wire over a round bar wound, and over it a Bare metal foil adhesive.
I hope my English is understandable!!!!

I should have figured you'd have a more elegant solution. Great idea, and don't worry about your English, it is perfect.

like i said before this one wild build
great work :biggrin: :biggrin:

………the next Stepps, paint the body with Tamiya TS-14 Black

Never ceases to amaze. What I like about this thread, almost as much as I like this model itself, are the miniature sawhorses holding it up during the build. Like the real thing! Perfect fidelity!

I'm sure the most difficult part of the work is to make this real thing look like a 1/24 model... :D

I just hope I'll have the opportunity to see it "for real" one day!

:worshippy:worshippy:worshippy

This is the real car, the reference pictures are from a tamiya model :)

the second pic just show the real one right?~

Hopefully that car didn't race at LeMans...

Damn it man!!! it looks like the real deal!!!!

Damn it man!!! it looks like the real deal!!!!

:eek7: :smokin: that is the real deal!! :smokin: :eek7:

:eek7: :smokin: that is the real deal!! :smokin: :eek7:

Nice to see some new progress.

Don't you hear my heart?...


Louder each time...

Damn, if it were the real thing I wouldn't be so troubled! Please send us the movie file when you'll start the engine! I want to hear its sound! :D

... Scrolling up and down... On some pics, it's so hard to believe it's a 1/24 model...




:eek:

Once you think it can't get any better it just keep doing that. I'm totaly amazed by your building skills.

Ich liebe dieses Modell!
Echt der Wahnsinn, Kurtl!!!

:lol: That's exactly what I wanted to say! Just another way to express it! :D

Great, just great.

If this build would be an entry for the Le Mans contest, we could really stop this contest, right now! Do us a favor, don´t choose some sort of Le Mans entry as your next project, please? :smile:

Dieses Modell ist der absolute Wahnsinn, ich bin echt begeistert!!!

Amazing as usual!

:iagree:

Gob-smackingly awesome Kurtl. That is more than a model, it's like a 3D techincal cutaway of how a touring car is constructed.

Thank's for the peek into the paradise, myself is living in the twilight zone. Simply amazing, would really like to see this one live sometime. Don't know how though!? As others stated, what's next? Looking forward to more builds from you, you witchmaster of plastic. Enjoyed this build and will take some pics with me to my LHS and show him what car modeling is really about.

Glue on!

Absolutely amazing - it deserves a finished thread. Congratulations once again on a unique and stunning model.

That is Awesome dude! i realy loves the result of it! i love it! kepp it up!

Say hello to The Model Of The Year. Great work and execution!

Absolutely increadible work!!

Congratulations!

But what I'm wondering now : how does the model look with all the body parts mounted in place? Do you have pictures of that too?

amazing, wonderful, great work.

not much more to say!
"Einfach gigantisch! Klasse Modell, Kurtl"

It is awesome since from the start of the progress to the end. :eek2::worshippy

Most amazing build I have ever witnessed. I truly praise your efforts and skill.

Absolutely increadible work!!

Congratulations!

But what I'm wondering now : how does the model look with all the body parts mounted in place? Do you have pictures of that too?

Yes that would be interesting to see it fully mounted, but maybe the front end is too fragile to play with. And again : :worshippy :worshippy :worshippy

So, what will you amaze us with next ?

my god, never seen anything like it, although id like to see it together, fenders and all

So, are when are you going to get in and hit the start button? Looks...well, what can I any different than what has allready been posted? :iceslolan

Well worth the wait and work put into it.

:biggrin:
