AF Group Build: A Tribute To The 60 Red Years

I have an 360 GT Risi (Leman) to do
I will buy the F430 Challenge for sure and I have a stupid idea involving a F430 and a lot of styrene and putty... :screwy:

Said from you don't sound so stupid LOL, can't wait to see how you have in mind.

Well it will be a "secret projet".. That mean I'm not sure at all it will turn out right so I don't want to embarrass me with an horrible WIP.

I did the drawing yesterday, it should look really nice, but I will have to see if my scratchbuilt skill are on par with this insane idea.

Worst case, I will loose a kit and time :p I will order some kits today. (first order in about 18 months !!)

This would give a great reason to build my MFH 1967 Le Mans 330 P4 :)

at the rate that I build, I should maybe finish one of my 7 started ferrari kits by christmas.

Funny how most of us have like 5 Ferraris on our benches and none of them are finished.

Doesn't seem to be the same for Porsches, Lambos, Astons, etc...... LOL

I'm in ,if its ok for a newbie? MY kits are the 612,599,enzo,daytona spyder of the miami vice show to make it a true Ferrari. I'm going to use an old engine from Replicas Miniatures.

It's open to every AF members~:wink: more ever I'm 2 months newer than you.:icon16: Good luck!

oh.. how wrong you are.
i've got about 6 porsche kits (924, 993 turbo, 996 gt3,996 carrera, boxster, 917k) in various states of build too.
and 4x lotus (1x europa, 2x esprit, 1x elise) , 3x jaguar (2x e-type 1x xk-ss), 4 Lamborghini (3x diablo, 1x countach)

This might be a good excuse to get me started on the 365 Daytona Speciale (Enthusiast) I've been looking at on my shelf for the last year :-)

I think I'll be joining this groupbuild with a 1/16 stallion with a V8, two turbos and a pretty big rear wing if you can guess...

You did a great job on the 959, so why not display it with its archrival? I'll look forward to your build. I've got the kit in my stash, unstarted of course. My only gripes with it are the exhaust manifolds and the turbos- the turbos especially need some correction.

This will be one interesting group project. Question though: Will we have some sort of introduction line to show that the build and WIP-Thread belongs to the "60 years of Ferrari"-project?

Where can I get a nifty avatar like Veyron - with the "60" logo? I like it a lot.

Definitely Tang may do a whole imaging kit with poster, avatar and banner for group build entries ;)

that would be great!

Just an idea. What if we made one of each Ferrari model from the past 60 years? Make a list of all the models, and as different modellers "sign up" then the other modellers must choose another model. Would result in an impressive lineup, even if everone cant build their favorite model.

That's what i was thinking about. As you can see we already have a poster. And the avatar is just like our business card, differentiating us from each other IMO. So I think that part could be better not the same. How do you think guys?

And I'm sure I'd love to make some kit that you can take as your banner or put them on your signatures. Will do it asap.:wink:

I don't think it's a good idea to leave members with fewer options for what to build, but instead, I think duplicate should be allowed. But it's a good idea to have a directory in chronological order.

How about updating the first post of this thread? Like year, designation and AF user name, separated by commas, and if there's a progress thread, make it a link. Even if one's progress thread isn't ready, we'll still see who's making what. I'm especially interested in seeing a list for the FXX.

Would you like to manage such a list, instead of asking a mod to start a new thread?

I'm in with couple of models, probably from the older end of Ferrari lineup.

This would be a fantastic idea to see at the end, but hard to do I guess, the whole idea is against the spirit of "Rules is no rules, 100% Freedom" that I like so much, that allow OOB, 100% scratchbuilt, fantasy and concept cars, phantom racers... seem this thread is following the former group build discusion.... and is ok not start from zero with concept every one. I discovered COLORS lol

Yes I agree with you. Our rule is let people do what ever he wants to do.:wink:

And that list idea is very good, I'll do it. As soon as one decided what to build or has already started a WIP thread I'll add his info to that list, thanks Hiro!:grinyes:

BTW: What a colorful post gio~~~:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

OK,
I'm in with my 360 CS, I've also needed an excuse to start my 1/12 312T.

The great thing about the ammout of interest already is that we should see alot of differnt builds and I would bet they will touch on just about every gerneration of Ferrari. So no rules is better, this is supposed to be fun right?

Mmmm! Sounds interesting! Just need to decide which one, as I'm not a huge Ferrari fan TBH. Probably be a Daytona, 250 or Dino - if the latter, it will be without the Ferrari badging as they never had that when new!

I am in. Just have to get my hands on some nice Ferrari kit.

First post updated.

Tang not adding your name there yet? hahaha....

Yeh I forgot myself hahahahahaha.....

Forgot to say, I am probably building a Scag.

Really great imaging kit Tang, amazing job so far.

Added the cars list, I guess it lacks a lot of great names~~ :lol:

Ferrari F666SP Barchetta(Full Scratch Build)

The devil's car. :evillol:

Sounds very interesting.:popcorn:

Yep ;)

Next thing I have to design now is horns and tail

I'm also planning to develop the Francesco baracca's pony in the logo in a more fiendish creture LOL

I'll be entering an FXX with a special racing blue formulated by myself (still working on it at the moment).

Yeah, this should be a great groupbuild (probably the greatest ever). I'm really looking forward to see al this great cars build and join this myself of course. I will be entering this build with my Revell 288 GTO, adding a PhotoEtch set made by Studio 27 and painting it in Rosso Corsa from Zero Custom paints:

I'm sorry for my careless,:frown: it's done now.

I'm a newbie here although I've been lurking for awhile. I'm deep into a Honda RA272 at the moment but I could probably take on something else, I have a Tamiya 1/12th 312b in the closet but I also have a sick urge to pick-up a 250 LM (academy) unless someone can talk me out of it.

I have two Ferarri's that are not done, can I still enter?

I'd like to join in on this one. I would like to build a Fujimi 246 GTS Dino in Grigio Titanio metallic.

Hmm ok i'm gonna jump in on this too, what do you guys think? Another basic 360 Modena or a mild restyle of the 356 Daytona Special?

Gray

Im in, I will be building the 1:24 scale Revell f430........it will be one of next couple projects

Count me in. I am going to try and replicate chassis # 47649, the last remaining 288 GTO Prototipo; doing so with the 1/24th Fujimi Enthusiast Series Kit. :)

Well, Count Me In!
I See One of My Favorites Is Not on the List
So, I’m In For A Pair Of 348TS (One Stock One Custom)
Now,If I Can Just Find A 512TR........

hmm... toss up between a 365 boxer, a 275 GTB or a 355 GTB.
I guess I'm going to let you make the sig. graphic up for it and I'll pick the one that I like the look of more...

Take your time to make decision, when you decided please PM me.:wink:

Of course you can.

Which one you would like to do more? Personally I'm curious about the restyle Daytona.:icon16:

Sounds like this is gonna be a big one!

Decided yet? :lol:

I've also needed an excuse to start my 1/12 312T.

sweet! it seems i have many of the same kits that you do, and if i just wait, you'll provide me with excellent tutorials for all of them! :grinyes:

i'd like to join the tribute build but haven't decided what to build.... hmmm... :confused:

As we know about Rob's 1/20 312t, I can't imagine that 1/12 one...:shakehead :shakehead :shakehead

Count me in. I am going to try and replicate chassis # 47649, the last remaining 288 GTO Prototipo; doing so with the 1/24th Fujimi Enthusiast Series Kit. :)

The GTO evo? it's in mt todo list but,,, much forward ;) can't wait to know/see more.

Of course you can.




Sign me up for an Enzo and 612 Scag, maybe even a 360.

Decided yet? :lol:

as I suspected.
all three it is then....

er, when's the deadline again?

hmm.... on second thoughts, maybe I should wait to actually get a new boxer kit before deciding on that one; the old revell one is a bit hard to get the detail up to modern kit standards.
F355 and 275GTB it is for now.

Take your time~:wink: We have 10 months to go, and you aready have enough entries~~:lol2: But if you go for the 275GTB, I've got a plan too, but I'm doing a pair.:lol:
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c141/auw12/descriptio-5083.jpg

just been going through the list of entries and I'm kinda surprised.
after all the fuss about there not being a F355GTB kit available and how expensive the original issue was, they go and re-issue it and no one is building one here?

That's it; definitely a F355GTB from me then.... except I'll give it a heart and maybe a little soul.....

275GTB only if it looks like I have the time to complete.

Yeh, that's strange no one's gonna making a 355, and also I'm surprised there're no 599s at all. Guys let's have as various models as possible!

So far on my list of ferraris to finish this year i have :
Fxx (red and bianco)
355berlinetta
348 TS
Enzo
599fiorano <------------------------
430 Challenge
