Re: One Off Eleanor 1/18 Diecast

pics of the standard model limited edition 1 of 2500, i got this one so i would be able to keep the gt 500 writing on the side but ended up striping it down completly and putting the writing on myself

Holy crap. You should get another GT500 and display them beside each other, so people can see all the work you did.

Re: One Off Eleanor 1/18 Diecast

Would you be interested in buying another one of these and doing that kit again? I really like the job you did and would be interested in paying you.
What do you think?

Nice job by the way.

Re: One Off Eleanor 1/18 Diecast

I just thing he did an awesome job. I don't have the talent or the skill to do the conversion. If he's interested I could find another one of the base models or if he knows where he could get one and then get him to do the conversion.... ?????

If I find out how much SirRob wants to do a conversion I may take it off your hands.

Thanks

hi all, sorry i havent posted for a while i have been outa the country for a while, her are some more pictures of mid to late custom. i will try and find some earleir ones but there abit scattered around. as for sell in her, i dont think i could do that not after the time i put into it, i have considered making anouther one but am not sure if i want to go through that all again i certainly wasnt easy. and it took a good 3 or more months to complete. i may make anouther and sell it in the future

p.s. sorry some of the pictures are on there side.

Re: One Off Eleanor 1/18 Diecast

i must admit i do like the idea of making more but i must say they wouldnt be cheap by far. considering the time and effort i had to put in.
