Merc slammer

Here's a slammered Merc. Started as a DTM car. I filled a few holes in the body and found a good use for some custom machined wheels I got from Ricky Couch. Paint is Alclad Prismatic Sapphire.

I like the stance of these cars.

Looks stunning! Any bigger pics?

looks great. though a bit infeasable on city streets, if it were real, but WOW, that looks good!

Awesome car!!!! the stance is just perfect. You bring a nice idea....

very nice build, wheels are familiar!

those where made by me in a failed venture to start producing scale machined wheels

Ricky bought a set from me at a show, unfortunately I heard that he passed away. He will be missed. Exceptionally gifted modeler and a nice guy.

Alfa147 - I'm afraid bigger pics may show the flaws!

smcorolla - So, you made the wheels! I saw them at our local model show in Simpsonville a year ago and passed them up. Later I could have kicked myself for not getting a set. I asked Ricky who made them and he had a set that he gave me. Ricky's passing is a great loss, not only to us modelers, but to everyone that knew him. He was a real 'outside the box' thinker.

I love it! If i have the time, I will do it.

Very BAD!
Not what I expected by 'Merc' though.

I never liked those older mercs.. but for this one, I'll make an exeption.. Nicen work!

Nice work. Great shine and i like the rims.
