What are you doing between the Toleman waiting times?

[Sennake]

Yesterday I had a few good friends over on visit, and we decided to have a look in my modeling room. I didn't notice it myself, but in fact I am working at quite a bit of projects simulatiously "So why don't we get to see pictures of those projects?" asked Huudo. Ans he was right. Therefore I gathered my wip-projects and started making pictures.

Here we go. In between Toleman-waiting-times I'm busy doing some work at :

my 1981 Ferrari 126C :



my 1995 Ferrari 333SP :



my 1957 Jaguar D-type :



my 1954 Mercedes W196 :



my 1955 Mercedes W196 :



my 1950 Talbot :



my 1979 Wolf :



my 1940 Spitfire :



Yes, yes, a plane which was lost between a bunch of cars! I can't believe it!



And finally a group picture :



How fast and in which order these projects will progress I can't say, but I promise to keep you guys posted.

GUY, 333 is awesome, fantastic in yellow, superb wich it's a full openec version: I would like to do 1 in 1/24 with a F50 tuned engine

Dtype also is superb

Ok I agree with Guido too!!!

funny you should put the spitfire in there, years ago, after the war a man by the name of Ian Dodds (i believe) put a merlin engine into a Rolls Royce, he named "The Beast". RR denied that it could be called a Rolls Royce because it had a different engine, although the Merlin engine was a Rolls Royce engine.

You have extrodinary good taste in the projects you choose Guy. Thanks for sharing your "in-work" pile with us.

In the meantime I filled up quite some Toleman waiting time with other modeling work :


I fitted the plexiglass windscreen on the Jag, after which I sprayed 2 extra clearcoats over it to mask the slightly matt looking 2 components-glue tracks. So finally there have been sprayed 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint and 4 clearcoats on the model. That should do it I reckon. Besides, the model has become so "slippery" from all those clearcoats that I can hardly hold it in my hand; it feels like a fish or something



The Talbot got some attention as well. The poor thing was the only one in the whole lot that didn't have a paintjob yet. So I fitted all the photoetch parts in order to put the mudguards, headlights and suspensions in place :











And after 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of "Tamiya French blue" the model looks like this :



After I will have fitted the few decals this model needs, I will add (at least) 2 clearcoats.

That's it for now
