BMW M1 "Carte de France" Lemans
This is my half of the "Trading Places" project.
The Revell M1 kit was the base and was combined with the Renaissance "Carte de France" decal/body and Scale Productions transkits. Body color is a custom mix by "Zero". All clear parts were replaced with scratch built pieces from acetate. Scratch built shocks from 1/1 tire valves. Engine was detailed with some home made breather tubes and injector system, Side number lights were kindly provided by Seb from his MG build. The Renaissance decals were great to work with and although it required quite a lot of clean up, the Revell kit itself wasn't so bad at the end of the day  Thanks to everyone who followed the WIP!  (click here to see WIP)BTW, this build was christened Gertrude

Re: BMW M1 "Carte de France" Lemans
Unreal, I gathered so many useful tips from this! Thanks! One note I may add, sanding down the window trims to an accurate scale would really help. When they are thick they remove the scale perception of the built model.
Beautiful build, a job well done! |

Re: BMW M1 "Carte de France" Lemans
Magnificent work, my friend. You've managed to make me excited for starting my own M1(s)- no small feat, I assure you.
 It's always a pleasure to follow one of your builds!  opcorn:Now, whatever happened to your accomplice...?
