Check out the scratchbuilt stuff, amazing!!!

All the best, Marc

My god, that is the ugliest website design I have seen in a while. :eek:
Fortunately the models are top notch.

:crying: ... the ugliest website design ... thanks a lot ! :loser:

it´s because i concentrate my energy to modeling not web design :lol:

but nice forum here and thank you for the complements to my modeling projects !

LOL

Yea difinitly have lot of skill for modeling :D

As for the Web site.. well HTML for Dummies would be a nice buy (or just removing the background image and all thos animated gif would be MUCH better)

bet hey ! forget the web site, and do modelling :D

yup, some cool stuff there on that webpage. Nice pics of diaries, I like it a lot!
Good to have you on board!


Consider it this way; if you didn't have it, we wouldn't know about it. Yeah, it's ugly, but it's functional (could think of a number of things that are exactly that :) )

Olivier

Congratulations in advance to the big four-0 and also to a very nice collection of model cars. Wish I had the skills to pull such work off.
Ohh!....welcome abord!

Niclas

Oh god another great builder! I have to find myself a newbie forum :)

Great model collection and great builds - very impressive!

Love the look of your cutaway GTO :) hope you post a WIP on AF forum for that.

Welcome!

hi at all !

may be i have just a bad taste for web´s :grinno:
i´m happy you like the content wich is behind my websites , because
modeling is the real fun i have ! nice to share it with others here in a relevant forum . member nniemi sent me an email with the message that
my website is posted here and because i´m nosy i followed the link .
now i´m a new member here and looking forward to get to know other modelers .
a little bit about me >> i´m a 39,99 years old (tomorrow 40) german ,doing modeling since i can rember 5 or 6 years with many breaks and different types of modeling.i started as a child with plastic models , than RC modeling (car-boat-plane) , later for my profession architecture models ,and now since a few years plastic modeling again .my love to ferrari had several reasons , ok - schumacher and his career is surely one , but F1 is not my main focus .i was guest at ferrari´s 600 GP as winner and this was really sensationally - the flair around this pranking horse cars is another world - the cars are a kind of art in design , i like it very much .but as you can see on my web i´m now also building some cars of my personal history and memory .Gunze with the high-tech kits , i would call it "early multimedia-kits" is a good base for that .i think that´s roman enough for now .... :p

wish you all happy modeling !

ps..sorry for errors in correct writing english >> i´m still learning...

In that case I hope I'll be the first on AF to wish you

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"

for tomorrow :biggrin:

also I want to congratulate your English and a new Ferarri term which I now officially adopt into my vocabulary i.e.

..... pranking horse cars ......

I'm NOT laughing at you , I really LOVE it :) :)

Welcome aboard!:)

Sorry if I offened you with the comment about website design. But as we've all said the most important thing is your models are awesome. Website designers are a dime a dozen, great modeling is timeless! :)

i like them alot i really like the ferrari sound clip *drools all over floor*

Welcome to AF Christian!
Very nice work on your models!

good morning and thanks to all for the kindly reception here in the forum !
******
@RallyRaider > it´s my first website and it should be simple ,informative and not only sober .ok ,the right mix is the point but i´m still experimenting .may be you open it someday and it´s completely changed - also a question of time and i spent my time prefered in modeling .i was not angry about your comment , just a little bit shocked :grinno:
******
now i have to read a lot threads here and enjoy your great modeling projects !

Christian

Christian,

Happy Birthday and welcome! It's a great place here, you'll like it.

I can send you the missing pics of Scalekraft's Lusso & Lusso Speciale for your database. I have both kits. But then you need to tell me about the 225 S Vignale from Völkl...

All the best, Marc

hi Marc ,

thank you very much !

i am certainly interested in the Lusso pics and you can have all pictures from the Völkl spider but don´t expect much , it´s a very simple kit , only a few parts ...
ok ,doing it curbside with some added details ,wheels , interior should be a good base . building it with engine is a real problem ,i´m trying hard to find engine pictures from this car , also detailed interior pics.

one possibility would be to have a 166mm from MFH to copy the engine in tin or resin , but buying such a MFH kit is always a high investment !

generally for pictures >> what you see on my web in "my cars and kits" is present here and i can take photos , also from single parts or groups of the kits .

for me i will build the metal Lusso from "small wheels" , a real challenge,
i´ve never done a full metal kit before .

...you can have all pictures from the Völkl spider but don´t expect much , it´s a very simple kit , only a few parts ...


That's what I thought. I have a 750 S Monza from them. But the Monza is a full kit, curbside though, but still okay. Whereas your Vignale Spider appears to be a slotcar body only, correct? Are there any PE parts included (i.e. for the grille)? Does the interieur part incl. a driver figure?

that's exactly what I'll do with the 750 Monza. I'll take Hiro's 500 F2....(at least, that's what I've planned) It should work out, it has the 4 cylinder Lampredi engine.

btw, check this website for lots of Ferrari pics:

We not only live in the same country but share the same passion for modelling of Ferrari 1/24 kits...

All the best, Marc

oops , i was wrong with the engine idea (166mm) .... :p , good to know..
your main interesting is 1/24 ferrari modeling ? wow ! i´m sure we can share this and complete each other´s knowledge ! i know exactly 5 persons including you with especially this hobby , all over the world >>netherlands , germany , belgium , singapore . we all share pictures , experience , new ideas and how to build ferrari´s wich you can´t get as kit , mix-projects with diecast as base .

one thing i must learn is resin and tin moulding with multi-piece mouldes,
that´s a real blockade in acting for me not to be used in doing this .

the vignale spider has no PE parts , a slot kit , i was wrong as i ordered it - there´s a better version for complete curbside building.other side Völkel´s chassis i would not use - i´m sure , so it´s ok , but alot scratchbuilding .here (http://www.netbaer.net/PRIVATCOLLECTION/HTML-SITES-STREET-LE-MANS/STREET-LE-MANS/225SVIGNALE-VOELKL.html) you see the content , it has a interior-all-in-one part , driver´s head separated.
if you copy this F500 engine - contact me , i´ll be your client for this :tongue:
i´m planning to offer engine sets in tin for the future , for example the 365GT4BB engine from my web in tin , or a 250 LM engine for all who cannot buy a Climax kit - like me , the last one left ebay for 666.- USD

for me the one and only is copying bodies , resin bodies as we know it from most kits are for my usage too thick ! no chance to saw it out and make parts moving...visible engine rooms ..trunks ...
i can imagin to make a one piece mould with non fluid latex as negative moulde and than brush it thinn with resin , pouring is too difficult with so much openings like windows and hoods , lights .

a lot to talk about !!! :rofl:

nice to meet you here ! did we have any ebay contact before ? nearly impossible - not to have had :smile:

oops , i was wrong with the engine idea (166mm) ....

No, you were not! Sorry, I gave a bad reply, I guess.
It's correct, that 166 and 225 engines are very similar. Basically, all "small" V12 engines (166, 212, 225, 250, 275...) derive from the old Colombo engine which started as a 125. That's a 12 cylinder with 1.5 litres displacement only!

For the 225 Vignale Spider I would recommend any 250 kit (SWB, GT, GTO), just change the carburettors. That should work! No need to get an expensive Hiro kit for that.

The 500, 625 and 750 models all had a 4 cylinder engine, derived from the 500 F2 formula monoposto. And the Hiro kit is the only 4 cylinder Ferrari kit in 1/24 scale I know of.

All the best, Marc

Hey Christian,
I wanted to tell you a long time ago that your database doesn't work properly when viewed in Firefox, only in IE. Not sure what's the problem though. Keep up great work and happy birthday.
Alex

Hi Alex ,
thank you for the congratulations !
i never watched my site in Firefox but i will try to find out what´s wrong .
i´m always watching your sites and projects - simply great !
the new MFH Ferrari 275 GTB/C looks so good , i´m having this kit too .

do you know if MFH will also provide the Climax 250 LM , seems they have all the mouldes ?

Christian

do you know if MFH will also provide the Climax 250 LM , seems they have all the mouldes ?


this is the answer I got from Hiro when I asked what will be next:

"250GTO '62 1/24scale (out now)
Daytona cobra coupe 1/24scale (out now)
512BB LM '79 1/24scale (out now)
512BB LM '80 1/24scale (out now)
250TR61 1/24scale
412P 1/24scale
250/340MM 1/24scale
512S short 1/24scale

312F1 '69 1/24scale
D50 1/24scale
312B 1/24scale
246Dino 1/24scale
312T3 1/24scale
126C2 1/24scale..etc.

There are almost our release kit with in this year,
but it may be a little change."

Sorry, no 250 LM....

All the best, Marc

hi Marc ,

very interesting ! a 412P ... wow ! :eek:

ok , the 250 LM is not pre-announced , would be interesting if they have the Climax mould ! :licka:

i´ve still the hope they have and rebuild it someday ...i can wait :smokin:

They do have both 250LM and 250 GTO Series II molds. And Aston Martin too. I'm pretty sure they will release them at some point in time. They promised 340MM last year too, but it never was released. I don't see any reason to release 246 Dino, given there are excellent Fujimi kit of this car. If they would make a 206 - then we're talking. We'll see I guess.

Alex , thats what i expected (MFH), only a question of time ...
good to know !

i´ve installed Firefox here and watched my Database sites . ok ,it runs and you can roll up-down and side left-right , the problem is the scale .Firefox don´t scale it into the browser window , that´s really mad :shakehead! impossible to work this way because you can´t see the link buttons if you look at the F-type on left side .:screwy:i know there are problems with tables in different browsers ( Mozilla , Opera etc.) . what i will do now is set the tables not to automaticly wide and high and not fixed to pixel - i must fix it to % of page , that´s possible and should work (i hope ):naughty:

Hi Christian,

I'm from Malaysia and I'm also building 1/24 Ferraris. My current project is a full-detailed Ferrari 250LM. I'm using the Academy 250LM body. I don't have that much money to buy any resin kits so I cast the engine myself. I have cast the engine (using clear resin) from an Italeri 250GTO and will cast the gear box from the Revell metal kit to combine with it. I'm still experimenting with the resin casting though.

Imran

Hi Imran ,

that´s what i did with my 275P Monogram kit , i took a Revell diecast engine and gear from 250LM , with some modifications and the rear chassis built as skeletton . but very interesting - your 250 LM project !!! can you show us pictures from ?

I'm not progressing much for the time being. I'm a bit busy for the past few weeks and I didn't have the time for any progress. I just managed to cut the doors, front and rear hood/bonnet and start a bit on the frame.

I need to re-cast the engine though because the previous cast is not so good. I don't have any progress pictures for now, sorry. :smile:

They do have both 250LM and 250 GTO Series II molds. And Aston Martin too. I'm pretty sure they will release them at some point in time. They promised 340MM last year too, but it never was released.

I'm quite sure that dino is either a 246 Dino Grand prix car or a Le mans prototype. Why would they make a street version?
