1/12 Ferrari 375 plus completed

I did this build to commemorate Ferrari's 60th anniversary and I wanted to build a classic racing Ferrari with spoked wheels. This is a 1/12 scale MG Models kit with alot of scratchbuilt detail. Some details I had to guess at due to minimal reference pics, but I like how it turned out.

Some interior detail. The tool bag? is covered with leather. I originally wanted to cover the seats, but couldnt get a big enough piece of leather thinned down. The leather grain would have probably been to large anyway.

Here, some electronics are visible on the firewall.

The engine bay is detailed on the topside. Without full chassis detail, I didnt think the lower engine bay details were worth doing.

Now that this one is done, I wonder what big scale project to tackle next? That Porsche 934 looks like a good one.

Super job, Ken!

Beautiful. Nice wear marks on the interior.

This is beyond cool. This is just stunning! A masterpiece! Congrats on this terricif model and a great modeling achievement. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Not to detailed, but the detail that is there looks awesome. I love the floor plate, it really looks like someone drove with heavy shoes. Paint, interior, engine bay are flawless.

Hi,

as already mentioned in the WIP thread: a top-finished model !!!!!!!!

I was already impressed in the WIP but the extra detail visible in these new images just bumped the rating to 200% on the Meisterstück-ometer :worshippy

Truly one of those builds that one will never forget having seen.

This is really superb - well done!

Beautiful work, I'm glad that I was able to see this.

Really good looking model.

How much did you have to modify the engine parts? This really makes me want to build one of those 1/12 MGModels kits.

I just saw the WIP and once again, SUPERB!!!

Super job, Ken!

I concur! :iceslolan

Ever speachless....

I knowed you were a great modeller, but you really shocked me with those machined details, with rims, with overall neat appeal.

Just congrats: you achieved something really special.

Truely fantastic and intimidating work! Nothing to add to the words of my forerunners....

Superb :sunglasse

I'm looking forward to seeing this one up close and personal next month.

This is truly magnificent!! I had to look at the pictures several times to convince myself that it is a scale model and not the 1:1! Awesome work!! :sunglasse

Wow, i 'm drooling over the pictures as I'm writing this. This detail is staggering. The seats look extremely realistic, the engine is very like a concours-type of car, it screams realism all over the place.

Absolutely Best In ANY Show!!! Unbelievable

Cheers,

Rick

Thanks for the kind comments and thanks for looking, everyone. If anyone has questions about the build, just ask.

I noticed one of the pics got repeated, when I intended posting this one:

Hope everyone has good luck on their projects and remember to post them up!

I'm moving on to a ST27 Peugeot 908 now.

Wow, that engine looks amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with that 908!

Wow, what a beautiful car and you made a fantastic model of it. The engine is a work of art in itself and as already pointed out, the scuff marks on the floor are utterly realistic which just adds to the total beauty of this build. Top notch model.

Oh holy crap, I just noticed the scuff marks by the pedals (thanks quadzero) and that's AMAZING. Engine looks real, car looks like it's been actually driven. I am in awe.

I was already drooling ..... and then came to the engine pictures! Orgasmic stuff - words fail me.

Honestly I have nothing to say. Gonna have to go look in the thesaurus and find another word for f@#$ing unbelievable.

Astounding... :eek:

Great build. outstanding work on the engine.

Wow, that really is automotive art! Astonishing!

Wow. Very nicely done. Awesome work.
