Awsome detailing on the chasis - looks real!!
I really like the way you picked out those nuts and things. Toothpick?
Stirling job!!

Sure......



Or how's this for a size comparison?



Yes, they are all 1/24.
I guess Italians are just small people. Poles might be too, Stevenski?

Awsome picture!
Poles just LOVE diminutives - after all, Vodka (wódka) means "little water". I don't know what the Italian excuse is
You have a Beetle on the go too? Nice!

This picture looks so surreal it's hard to imagine that they are both the same scale, awesome build so far, can't wait to see this car finished.

Very cool build. You've got a good eye for detail. I've been tempted to buy this one, I think it would look great next to a Mini Cooper. Keep up the awesome work!

Re: In Progress: Tamiya Fiat 500

this has to be the most entertaining thread here, thanks, Gridgirl and Klutz. i had no idea this car was that small, wow. that engine must be really really tiny then! your detail work takes on a whole new meaning now.
