BMW i8 | rollin'low

Hello friends,

a little brake in my Dacia building. 

I bought this little i8 made by Rastar @1/24 scale due to its proportions. I don't know if it is really 24th scale but the proportions are so good. The model in the shelf is awesome.

Also the quality of fabrication is not bad at all. A set of 2o inch rims and a little bit of stance made it an eye catching model. I choose to maintain the original pain except the front and rear end where I putted flat black instead if the body color element on the original model.

But let's see what happen...

DACIA 13oo @ 1|8th - Under Body

Hello guys,

I can present you the work on the under-body of my "bijoux" DACIA 13oo. 

Here are some modifications which I like to mention:

-under body painted in the body color & a little bit of weathering

-brass brake and fuel pipes (front, rear)

-hand brake real cable

-weathered exhaust pipe

DACIA 13oo @ 1|8th - Engine and Engine Frame

Hello guys,

It's big, it has details. It is a pity not to go further with all these details. As first experience with a big scale model I can say that the level of details are amazing. Not big difference between this model and the real one except the technologically imposes (some thickness, screws out of scale and the way of assembling some parts). In this first episode we can see the engine and the engine frame ready to be assembled withe the main central floor. You have to notice a little weathering. In this way will be treated all the model. Our car is a used one, well-maintained but not new car.

As detailing I can mention

-painting the frame in the body colour (original Red 27)

-detailing the engine as real one

-transforming all apparent screws from round head in hexagon head

Enjoy the details

Next chapter : the main floor assembly and detailing

DACIA 13oo @ 1|8th

Hello friends,

After a long hesitation I decided : I'll build the DACIA 13oo @ 1|8th by Eaglemoss. There will be a super detailed model, but no color change. The red 27 it has is somehow interesting and it is an original DACIA palette color. In my opinnion it is a pitti to repaint it.

Soon will be a series of articles, may be a special page, on the blog.

First episode : DACIA 13oo @ 1|8th - Engine and Engine Frame

Ferrari 25o GTO | Getting in Detail

So, the time I have the Saint Grail has arrived! 
Ferrari 250 GTO! 
I have It!
I choose the Kyosho 1/18th because of his proportions. And it is awesome! What stance, what shape. I can't get my eyes off.
But... you know my habits... I thought to modify it. In this case it is about detailing the HiEnd Kyosho 1|18th Ferrari 250 GTO.
The model is outstanding except the under-body where there are no wires, pipes or rubber pipes. So, I get some documentation on the net and I replicated the most of them. I'm pretty sure there are not identical with the real car, but as general look is pretty good. We have to take in account that in reality there are some kind of unique treatment for each car. The history of every one of them puts the mark on the car itself making an unique car. Sometimes there are big changes except the chassis number, which it is the only fixed point in the universe of each one from the 39th units ever made.
So, knowing the mass production model, I'll show you what I have done.
Enjoy the pics below.

Mercede-Benz E-Klasse | W212

The fourth generation of E-Klasse from Mercedes was launched in 2009. The first presentation for the press was at NAIAS 2009 in the United States. First presentation in Europe was in the same year at the Geneva Motor Show.
Design work began in 2004 after the development program commenced in 2003, with the exterior design by Winifredo Camacho and interior design by Thomas Stopka being selected in 2005. After refinements and engineering considerations being made, the final design specifications were frozen in 2006. Certain elements of the exterior styling are taken from the preceding W204 C-Classand W221 S-Class each designed in 2002 and 2003. The bulging rear wheel arches are meant to be reminiscent of the fender flares of historic "Ponton" Mercedes models of the 1950s. The design of the W212 and C207 E-Class was previewed by the ConceptFASCINATION design study in September 2008.

The model I present is an Maisto @ 1|18th scale modified. Stance, SLR rims, tow-tone interior and black chrome are easily notice as diffrences comparing with the serial model.
The details you can see in the photos below.
Enjoy the ride.
