New to forums, my Car builds

[MaRiO FDZ]

Hi people

I recently discovered this forum thanks to Google while looking for reference for a McLaren MP4/13 I'm planning to build next. Anyways, I figured I'd show my builds here. Here's the first one I build, did it about 2 years ago.

I've been an Indycar and Formula 1 fan since 1993, and after years of building aircraft, I figured the time was right to start building cars. First one I bought was a Williams FW16 but Didn't want to learn with it, so queue the 1998 Reynards.

Reynard 98K
This one I added only decals, and learning to master painting Cars, after years of building airplanes mostly...


Ferrari 189. Nothing fancy, nothing extra, just an easy Out of the Box build, learning experience.



Then came Ayrton Senna's Williams FW16. This one I added everyt aftermarket thing I could find - Photoetch parts, decals, wiring, etc. VERY proud of this one.






Next was Lewis Hamilton's MP4/25. This one being smaller scale, meant no engine detail. This car instead of paint I foiled it in Aluminum foil, and polished using Mother's cream. The results are impressive.





After that, came Jacques Villeneuve's 1997 Williams FW19. Again, no extra detail on this one.





Then came my latest, Ayrton Senna's McLaren MP4/8. This one I also added everything I possibly Could.







Currently Working on:

Hi,

Welcome,

Your cars look really nice.
Do you also build normal street cars/motorcycles or just F1

Thank you. IF the subject to build has wings, I build it - mostly F1 and airplanes. I built a Lamborghini when I was a kid and I have a 65 Impala on the stash. That Impala I plan on doing it relatively soon. Bikes I don't know much about them, but I can give them a try.

Thanks again,

Take Care

Nice line up of models. Thanks for sharing. Tamiya bikes are a great building experience that i strongly recommend. Welcome to the forum.

I've always have had the greatest respect for airplane builders as you often are very skilled - something that is visible in your builds. The Lewis Hamilton ride with the aluminum foil is outstanding!!

Yeah, +1 on the foil tutorial, that looks fantastic. I feel that if I tried that the foil and model would be quickly launched across the room.

Posted it in the Modelling forum. Yeah it does take patience but the results are totally worth it.

Take care
