Great work. Love all the fine detail in the straps holding down the spare wheel and such.

[rx7king]

its been a while since i looked back at this, but that is really detailed!

[Toughbeard]

I couldnt find anywords in the dictionary to express my feelings... I hope these will be enough

Thanks again everybody for your comments, much appreciated as always. Also a big thanks to Zeljko for setting a deadline for BMOM entries, otherwise I'd still be dithering over the details!

Mikko, I think you are partly right, the winner of the superdetailed category could well will be a 1000 Lakes winning car, but from 20 rather than 10 years ago! Did I miss it or have you not posted pics of the 205T16 on this forum?

Willmo, the details are a combination of kit, scratchbuilt (dash switches, tiedown ratchet, fuel filler) or aftermarket (Renaissance bonnet pins, Modeller's seatbelt hardware, M&A antenna base). Good places to get that kind of stuff is MediaMix Hobby, Rainbow 10 and the well-known HobbyLink Japan.

Decals are from the kit, LauBak and Museum Collection 1994 1000 Lakes sheets, as well as the spares box and some other extras like white decal behind the XEROX logo (to stop the blue/white division showing through). Extinguisher labels are from the remains of a Tamiya Impreza kitbashed a while ago. Decal on the fuel filler is from a Colorado-Carpena sheet of engine markings, available through MediaMix.

The label on the rollcage is a crew/car rally identification plate. Decal is from the kit, applied to a piece of plastic card and glued in place. Because the decal is from the Monte kit it is a bit different to the 1000 Lakes ident plate, the latter was larger and bluer.

Damn, it is nice and sunny here today but I am at work so cannot take advantage and get some good photos. Will be dark by the time I get home

Change in title says it all. The unforseen act-of-god occured.

[jdmhotrod]

what happen? if you dont mind me asking?

[sjelic]

?????????????????? what happend, I hope nothin serious to you.

[RallyRaider]

Not exactly an act of god, rather two year old son.

[hrmodeler]

Something even worse happened to my Pug 99 before our nationals, if you remember. But I had one week to it and I manahed to make it as new 01 version.

Sorry to see that. :-(((

[Orion37170]

oh shit...
i feel with you. i hope you get it fixed again

[Veyron]

Yipes!

[sjelic]

Oh well I thought it is something worse, you can't blame children for this, they simply adore forbiden things. But I think you will be able to fix it (super glue do fantastic things ). I am only sorry that you want be in contest (or maybe you will, if you took some finished car pics )
My kid is still very small but I am shore that he will "kill" some of my models to, but that's life. (and life sucks )
Rgds,

[mel79]

Oh my... You have my sympathy I hope you can fix it for the 4th Rally car competition. The interior and wheels look like they can be fixed reasonably easily, I hope the body isn't too damaged.

Sorry to see that. It was coming along so nice.

I had to take a break from modelling when my sons were that age. I came home to a box of 5 F1 cars in various stages of trauma when they were about that age.

It looks fairly repairable though.
