Monster Nissan..........

He He, just thought i'd show off this 1/12th Fairlady i purchased recently. I know most of you have seen this kit before (Hiroboy's) but since im so amazed at the sheer size of this thing i just wanted to share some pics.
I have no actual plans for this kit, it'll lye here (if i can find space for it :grinyes:) & we'll see what happens in the future.

That things a beast! Nice pick up. Set you back a pretty penny, eh?

Stop bragging!
Finally got it then, it's huge!
If you look closley you'll find my fingerprints on that very box and some of the contents :evillol: How many cans of TS will go on that one before it's coverd...a zillion :confused:

OMG!!! It is REALLY huge! Wow!
I want this one! :)

Similarly to what Proosen said, how much is it gonna cost on paint, glue and the like to fin ish this brute? I'm only saying this cos I'm jealous!! I think building a car at that scale will be a VERY hard project. At least when the car is small (1/24) some mistakes can be hidden, with a 1/12 that ain't so easy to do. Good luck with it, hope you start building it soon and get a progress thread going!

that thing IS a beast grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :lol:

sure is sweet! congrats on the purchase and hope to see some progress in time(?!). is the engine made out of white metal?

The problem with big models is: they have this "buy me"-factor at the shop, so you ignore the 1/15 section, and when you get home, you tear the box up and look "wow,that´s big" and then you realize that if you ever finish building it,it will take up the space of 3-5 models in 1/25... :(
I have the Airfix 1930 Bentley in 1/12 and the Monogram Big Deuce. Non finished, cause there is no place to have them. ( Out in the open, on a shelf. Are you nuts?? There are wifes and dust in this world you know!!)Anyway MIke United, nice catch! This is a detailingproject DeLuxe , uh? So start putting aside 1/5 of your paycheck for detailing parts right now ! :)

I hear you my man! This is prob the main reason I wouldn't buy a 1/12. Dust & inquisitive fingers would ruin a potentially mortgage-busting kit. I remember seeing a display case for a 1/12 which was over £100!!!! Whereas one for a 1/24 is £15.

Think I'll stick to my 'wee' cars and admire everyone elses big builds!

I agree with you guys, i dont think i'd even attempt to build this thing, this kit is going on ebay very shortly, just thought i'd show it off a bit first :cwm27:.
