Official Thread: Fully Operational 1/3 scale 312 PB

I am blown away, and I see high-end architectural models all the time.

 

Isn't this where the saying "get a life" came about?

 

Are you talking about that 312 PB?

I saw that several years ago during an FCA national meet...and yes that engine runs. I heard someone offered him several hundred thousand dollars for the model and he refused it. Which is ironic because that is more that what the real car cost when you bought it from the Ferrari Factory. As for the scale, I remember it being 1/10th..but it wasnt 1/18

 

Thats crap. It doesn´t even have wheels on it.

Just kidding of course. Awesome stuff. This man is a true artist.

 

Damn!

 

Do you have any pics?

I've got video of the builder demonstrating the car at the '94 FCA National during the concours. The scale is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/8th. Maybe a little bigger than the Pocher/Kyosho F-40 model. What kills me is that the tach works! There was also a website but not sure if it's still up or not:

lol....1/10...hahaha..Wow, my memory fails me. Yes I saw it at the 1994 FCA event too. The model is 1/3 scale

 

Yes, the working 312PB of Mr.Scerri is indeed 1/3rd scale.

 

i found this on another Ferrari forum. This is very impressive as well:

Dam that guy is good.

 

The F1 replica is impressive, to be sure, but the 312PB is just...well, I think I'm having a bout of the old aphasia. Awesome, incredible, and ridiculous don't even begin to describe it.

 

How about some dioramas, including a model of the Scuderia Ferrari building?

My GOD! I'd love to come home with something like that...I have absolutely no room for it, but it'd be worth it just to see the look on my wife's face!

The builder is Dutch and he's going to build a Koenigsegg and a Pagani Zonda aswell. The red car is reportedly a new Pagani Zonda. edit: more probably an Edonis (never heard of it).

Ciao, Peter

 

Peter,

The red car is indeed an Edonis. Based on the EB110 Bugatti, but lighter and with more power. Nice.

The post reminds me of the French gentleman who made an exact 512S replica, right down to the motor that actually worked and sounded like a Ferrari flat 12. Awesome. Was on one of Jeremy Clarksons programmes. "Meet the neighbours" IIRC

Cheers
Matt

 

Thanks for the info on the Edonis.

I'm sure you meant a 1/3 scale replica of a 312 PB with working everything (even the rev. counter!). Amazing piece of art. It was made by Frenchman Pierre Scerri who is a friend of the Dutchman who builts the 330 P4 scale model.

Ciao, Peter

 

Even though that it might be a repost, this is still worth a look.
Think that it´s awesome that somebodt spends 15 years to achive his little dream.

Anyone who can find some more info about this model he has build?

 

This guy is my hero!

 

That is unbelievable!
Can't beleve it actually runs!

 

It's a repost but a pretty cool one at that. Never get tired of it.
