Alfa Monza Finished!

[Scale-Master]

What a great ride it's been to build this puppy, just what I needed after the Blue Super Seven. I actually thought it would easier than it turned out to be, just build it out of the box and all will build nicely... I now realize what a foolish perspective that was!
I am very surprised I was able build this thing in less than seven weeks, (actually it was closer to five weeks working time...) but then again, it is just out of the box. It's not that I was rushing, more like relishing the build.
To anyone else who has a Pocher kit and is contemplating building it, I say go for it. They can be very frustrating in a few areas, but the reward is worth it. Just don't set your vision of the outcome higher than what the kit can reasonably build.






I have to publicly thank my friend David for providing me with this kit. He was kind enough to show off it's size.

Very nice!
your textures work great on this scale.
Great result, especially considering the quality of the kit.

Wow, I didn't realize that it was indeed that large?! What can be said that you haven't heard before?! I loved the WIP, and the result is amazing. Some people can build great models, but you are an artist in this hobby.

Mark: are you sure about the Rosso Alfa? I'm not an Alfa expert but all the period's stuff I seen are painted with a very dark bourgogne. Anyway this one suit well the shape

[Veyron]

Beautiful job! Nice to see Morton too!

Ohhh...if David was a member I would soo be ribbing him.

Looks awesome Mark, great work. Its a giant sea of red...and the Seven is a sea of blue. So you have the red sea and the blue sea. Awesome.

Hi Mark,

your skills are enormous.

Always hard to decide if there´s a model or the real car on your photos, but this time, with Morton, no problem ;-))

That just about sums it up.
Total enjoyment following this project.

I know gentlemen don't talk about money but since I'm not, I will
Could you give a ballpark on how much these kits realistically cost?
