Completed: Ford Escort Cosworth

First completed project of 2004 :eek: For the info and trauma of the build check the "Return of the Zombie Cossie" (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=211834) progress thread. The model still bears some scars, like I only noticed in these pics that the right rear wheel is a bit off...

I like it a whole lot!

Great job on saving it too, and with all the added details (especially like the weathering of the chassis) it's yet again, a stunner.

Nice sun set pics, it makes the car come alive (just like in name of your progress thread).
I love it.

Superb work Phil

looks better than the real car itself, great job ressurecting this car from the accident. loving the undercarrage of the car with all that detailed exhaust and the interior is just superb~!

Thumbs up!

UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE?perfect work^_^

Looks great! Stellar modeling as usual!

Fantastic weathering on the chassis!!!

sooo detailed, i love the way you did that spare tire

Awesome. The interior looks so real. Good job.

Looks extreamly great. Good weather on the frame.

Pretty!!!! well done :thumbsup:

Splendid ! Very well detailled.

way to go, great recovery!

Great part of rally history and excellent job from you!

That sunset makes me feel the pictures were taken at the trophy giving ceremony on the night after the rally :smokin:

Thanks guys, not sure what is meant by sunset pics - these were taken at about one o’clock in the afternoon! I just ordered a new digital camera, since my old one is on the fritz. Should have it by next weekend so I will be taking more snaps and updating my website then. Don’t forget to head over to the BMOM Rallycar Comp (http://www.hrmodeler.com/bmom) and check out the other rally models there.

Any suggestions on what I should build next? Closest to finished is the Crocodile Audi R8, also in progress is Lancia Stratos, McLaren M8B, SEAT Cordoba, Mitsubishi Evo IV and VI. On the other hand I like the idea of a Porsche 917K (probably blue Salzburg CANAM), Ford GT40 (in some colourful livery) and 2002 San Remo Marko Martin Focus (using Seb’s decals and Ray’s headlights). A 1/20th F1 would be good too, like a Lotus 107C (with Mugen V10 transplant) or Williams FW24 (backdated to Compaq livery and aero). Then there is the Peugeot 206 project, still need to build 2002 and 2003 works cars along with a rainbow of six different privateer liveries.

Phil,

the too last pics look really like they've been taken at the sunset. The reflects on the windows looks like the light is coming from low and it has a slighly reddish tone.

From you project pile I'd like to see the Stratos and Seat finished, but if the Audi is in final stages then why not finish it first. I recall one of the Mitsus had open doors and bonnet? That should be an interesting project to watch too.

Looks good, you made a nice rallye car out of a "wreck".

Wicked nice build.

:-p i Like this idea !!!


Williams FW24 (backdated to Compaq livery and aero).


this one too !!!

and where is the astra ? fall to the back of pile ?

Thanks guys.
I see what you mean Mikko, there is a bit of a reddish tinge there. Could be something to try in the future, the light at sunset can really bring out the colours.
The Astra is another possibility Seb, at the moment the real car is on the wallpaper of my computer, I think about it whenever I boot up!

Well done Phil. I really felt for you after the 'incident' as I too know the perils of young children. I can't believe the result - if we didn't know it was damaged you would never pick it. I've just discovered my favourite entry at BMOM.

Excuse me. Just bumping this thread as a not-so-sublte advertisement that I've just updated my website. Have no fear, at the rate I build and compose HTML it will not be a common occurance :p For anybody interested, added is a new gallery page with heaps of new pics of Tommi's Escort. Click on the picture of Kimi Raikkonen in my sig to go there.

Mr. Phil..I'm ashamed that I've never visited your website...It's absolutely great. Thank you for sharing all reference material. I'm sure it will come on handy to many of us. Again, thank you!

Who's the Man!

Smashing, superb, ....any word you want to use associated with BRILLIANT!!

Love the airbrush work on the chassis most, very realistic!!

Nice work on the cossie, but i think there is something wrong with the tail lights. The turn signal is not closest to the trunk. The turn signal is the outer one.

:eek: You're are absolutely right! I completely screwed them up :banghead: lack of sleep will do that to a person...:lol:
Thanks for correcting me with you first ever post! :wave:

Awesome job it looks like the real deal!!!!

Great to see it finally done Phil. :)
Very clean build and all the special touches like your amazing work with the belts and the air entrances on the roof make it even more beautiful.
Five stars job. :bigthumb:

thats a phat ride i love the black washing under the chassis

IS it possible to see a bad model from you ?

Look perfect as always
