Inspired by f50bpr, a couple of model project pics

Here's a 512S made by Fisher. It's a curbside; no engine detail, but it's a very nice model. The body and interior are beautiful and it came with some photoetched pieces. Shown draped over the rear are seatbelts made of lead foil with photoetched buckles. I got this car from a guy who sells models of vintage road racers. I told him I had a UMi Modellwerke Ferrari 712 Can-Am car that I was going to throw in the trash. He insisted on a trade, even though I told him the model was garbage. Hey, I warned him.

The next one is kind of weird. It's a Ferrari 308 Funny Car body. The photo is very early on, it looks better now. It was made by milling the basic profile in blue foam, then sanding it to final shape. That was covered with fiberglass. After it cured, I poured acetone inside to melt out the foam. It's made to sit on the Revell funny car chassis. I may modify a TR flat-12 for it, like Bob Norwood's 308 Pro Mod-type car.

I've got tons of projects, but these are the only Ferraris...with any work done, anyway.

looks like I can't post the f/c body pic here. I'll try it in a reply.

Damn. It won't let me upload the f/c pics. I keep getting an "Invalid URL" message.
