I am pretty sure AutoArt is not based in Japan. They most likely sent you the wheels from their factory in this newfoundland called 'China', you heard of it before?
The goal was to think outside the box, I'm going for an even more drastic design shift, than ferri did when they went from the 512bb to the testerossa. i want the driver to feel like he is driving the modern equivelent of a 50's Formula one car, but with styling that says "Italian", but not nessesarily reminisent of a specific car. The look of the body was actually inspired by my girlfriend's stilleto heeled shoe.
what do you guys use to paint the cars with? like a spray gun? id like to try a project like this and see what i can do.
That is what it was meant to be! I lack the visionary design skills needed to create an image like the one you made & applaud your effort. (I was think Foose as well but could not think of an italian name for "Chip", the Boyd name popped into my head)
i know this isn't a custom model, but i didn't wanna bring up an old thread from last year, i did find it in the search, but i didn't find my answer...i just got my hands on a bugatti veyron and i was curious to know how the back wing on the car raises? i saw some pics and i was looking at mine, and i got curious...heres a pic! number 3619, blue on black certficate http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/Murcielago6/DSC00236.jpg car http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/Murcielago6/DSC00238.jpg thanks!
Mike---Are you building and painting all these models or buying them already done?? Love the purple 355!!
I sent 2 cases of 1/18 HW F355 to a modelbuilder located in USA, and he repaint it for me in a good price, and he ship me back the Blue Mclaren LM, Blue and Purple F355 GTBs. There will be 2 more changed colors of F355 GTBs and 4x F355 Spyders.
Going slightly off-topic... does anyone know of a model manufacturer who makes a replica of the Maserati Birdcage 75? I've been hunting everywhere but I can't find anyone who lists it in their range. For anyone who doesn't know, the car I'm refering to is this... http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/enthusiast65/birdcage75-01a.jpg
Check my ID, and you can see I bought his UT F355 GTB yellow in EBAY before..... and trade for the HW F355 GTS Pace car Wormup.... just like the transaction I had with you for your poor carbon F360.......
I guess you are dying to own that UT F355 spider with tan interior on eBay. Maybe I can sell you one with a cheaper price.....
Yea--That is the first time I have ever seen that color combo, but the bids got a little too rich for me-I can hopefully find one or have one custom made for cheaper than that-
Here are a couple that I was able to get last week. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160115460588&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=006 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160116768835&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=006 I can't Wait to get 'em! I'll post pics when I do.
Try to bid on this one.It is much cheaper....... http://cgi.ebay.com/1-18-UT-MODELS-FERRARI-F355-SPIDER-YELLOW_W0QQitemZ150127133660QQihZ005QQcategoryZ14736QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
