Alfa Monza Finished!

What a great ride it's been to build this puppy, just what I needed after the Blue Super Seven. I actually thought it would easier than it turned out to be, just build it out of the box and all will build nicely... I now realize what a foolish perspective that was!
I am very surprised I was able build this thing in less than seven weeks, (actually it was closer to five weeks working time...) but then again, it is just out of the box. It's not that I was rushing, more like relishing the build.
To anyone else who has a Pocher kit and is contemplating building it, I say go for it. They can be very frustrating in a few areas, but the reward is worth it. Just don't set your vision of the outcome higher than what the kit can reasonably build.

I have to publicly thank my friend David for providing me with this kit. He was kind enough to show off it's size.

Very nice!
your textures work great on this scale.
Great result, especially considering the quality of the kit.

Wow, I didn't realize that it was indeed that large?! What can be said that you haven't heard before?! I loved the WIP, and the result is amazing. Some people can build great models, but you are an artist in this hobby.

Very nice, you don't see Pocher kits everyday! Thanks for sharing it with us.

beautiful Model!! Great Job!!

It's like a real one Mark!

stunning work. hope to see more of these things pop up from time to time!

Looks great! I was fun watching your WIP and now to see it done is awesome. Fantastic work, as always.

Very nice build, Mark.
Why werent you in a pic also? Morton knows how to take a picture.

It's like a real one Mark!

Exactly what I though seeing the first pict, one of the best Pocher build I seen, a big BRAVO to Mark, fantastic, like is fatastic to see any spare component: I mean this is your sign.

Thanks for share it with us.

Mark: are you sure about the Rosso Alfa? I'm not an Alfa expert but all the period's stuff I seen are painted with a very dark bourgogne. Anyway this one suit well the shape :)

Beautiful job! Nice to see Morton too!

Ohhh...if David was a member I would soo be ribbing him.

Looks awesome Mark, great work. Its a giant sea of red...and the Seven is a sea of blue. So you have the red sea and the blue sea. Awesome.

Hi Mark,

your skills are enormous.

Always hard to decide if there´s a model or the real car on your photos, but this time, with Morton, no problem ;-))

What can be said that you haven't heard before?! I loved the WIP, and the result is amazing. Some people can build great models, but you are an artist in this hobby.
That just about sums it up.
Total enjoyment following this project.

I know gentlemen don't talk about money but since I'm not, I will :D
Could you give a ballpark on how much these kits realistically cost?

Thanks Everyone!

I don't know what these kits go for now, I have heard from $300.00 to $2000.00 and up.
