Teaser Pics - My MP4/6

[Cychalen]

WOW! Another masterpiece.

Fantastic Mp4/6 Bil,

Worthy award winner at TamiyaCon '03.

I read your post on your trip to Japan on another forum. Sounds like you had a great time and went home with a lot more then you left with.

Did you leave the MP4/6 at Tamiya's office like previous winners ? I don't know that I could part with a model that I had spent so many hours building, award winner or not.

Can't wait to see your future efforts.

Cheers
Craig

Craig,

Probably much to Mr. Tamiya's dismay, I could not find it in me to leave this model in Japan knowing I would never see it again. I hate to break tradition, but that's the way it goes!!!

wow!! over 600 parts?! THATS INSANE! Man that is the coolest/best model ive ever seem.

[Diesel2NR]

Are you absolutely sure that isn't a bunch of pictures of a real car?? That's absolutely awesome work!

Just to clarify, that's just 600 or so nuts and bolts. I wouldn't hesitate to guess that there is well over 2500 hundred parts on this model.

No, this is not photos of the real car, but I do consider that the ultimate compliment. Thanks.

yup i was guessing there where tons more parts on it than 600. I beg you please do a complete right up of building one of your kits! I would love to see how you do it! Its just so amazing.

ok..ok.... stop taking pics of real cars. j/k. Very nicely done. My dad looked over my shoulder and wondered why it was on a modeling thread. He was shocked too.

Looks very nice!

So how much did the PE nuts and bolts cost? I need a bunch of them for my 1/6 scratchbuild but I calculated that it will cost me about $230USD.

Mike,

Not too sure what they all cost...I just buy them whenever I see them and/or need them. I use MCG, SMS, PP, R&MofM and whatever else I get my hands on.

I can get away with photoetch for 1/12 scale, they would be too 2 dimensional for 1/6...Have you tried Galtran for your NBW's?

doesnt even begin to describe that!

[Hiroboy]

I just realised who you are, I have read that article in TMMI over and over, Gtta be the best build I have ever seen.
I noticed in the article the use of PPDK parts, Can you let me know what/who they are and if possible a weblink. Thanks
BTW why did they have to blur the Marlboro Logos

Welcome, Bil! I hope you'll stick around for a while, because I bet you'd have plenty to share.

I got to see this model at Tamiya/Con '03, and by all rights, you deserve your award and title. I only wish I would have had the sense to introduce myself to you...

[sjelic]

The most beautifull model I have ever seen, glad to see it here. Welcome.
