Thank`s a lot for kind comments and watching by guys! Nice to see you like them. :)
Overall i counted 70 of those fantasy designs i did when i found the pics, all for a friend in Melbourne who`s favorite car the GTR was too, so some more will follow.
@ Jaykay: the short tail is my favorite car too, but when i build these, the prices for short tail base models was realy high, so i did more long necks.

Amazing paintjobs, can`t believe that these are only 1:43, the masking jobs are stunning, razorsharp lines, impressing work!

Many thanks for kind comment!
Masking is a bit like proof of patience, but if you have done it right, things are working out nice. Quiet often i seal the edges of the tape to prefend colour soaking under it, it`s a small time efford in comparsion to strip everything again and start all over.
Yeah it`s been 70 fantasy Mclaren conversions i did and maybe 25 or some more real versions, his cabinet is full of Mclaren models, he owns each race version ever driven.
Lol, stay at modeling and use it more likely as inspiration or motivation. :lol:

Amazing!!
I went to this complete thread and i`m speechless, have not seen the other things you did before, those boats are fantastic, never seen them before! May i ask where i can get such kit? I realy like the Ferrari boat, the Porsche Kineo as well. Find no words for all the models you present us, such an amount on only 4 pages, i bet there is no other thread around like yours.
The paint jobs are stunning, even the way you present them, very clean and nice work!
I have a Le Phoenix kit laying around, are you willing to build it for me? I don`t want to mess it up cause i`m not confirm in doing paint jobs and i`m far away of such clean builds like yours :oops:
