Thanks!

No, the strut towers looked like this from the start, don't know why. It didn't bother me then, but I would probably sand them smooth if I built the model again.

Another old model, finished in 2011. Most people here must have seen it already, but in case someone hasn't... :) http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/15538/25873748.28/0_b99b6_40d1922f_orig.jpg http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/15515/25873748.28/0_b99b7_77e90dec_orig.jpg http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/15563...

Thank you, guys! Tamiya models are great in this regard, in most cases you don't have to do any extra work to make a good-looking model. Too bad most of the unbuilt kits I have are Revell.

It's been a while since my last post here. I hardly find any time for modeling these days, but at least I found the time to take pictures of a model I had build in 2011. Many of you have seen this model at exhibitions, but those who haven't can take a look at it now. The model itself is quite simple...

Thank you!
The holes are for the fuel tank in the street version of the kit. I didn't bother filling them, because the underside is not really correct for this version anyway.
Not sure about Tampere yet, but it's quite possible!

The progress on the E21 has been slow so far -- I've done some more work, but not enough for an update. However, in the meanwhile I managed to finish another model, which some of you have seen at the Nordic Challenge. It was a pretty simple build, mostly OOB with only minor details added. http://img...

Oh, great! Thank you! I was just about to write you that I'm not coming to the meeting this week, but next week I might join you.

Thank you Petri! Please take a look. Something around 7 mm will do as well, I can reduce the diameter a bit.

Thanks for the comments. It was a long break, but now the work continues. I made the front valance (early type) with the Alpina air dam. The kit part looked nothing like what I wanted, so I had to scratchbuild the whole thing. http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6705/25873748.22/0_a4cae_3a124865_orig.jpg...

I have very little time for modelliing now, but here's a small update: I made the front grille! It is probably going to have been the hardest part of this build, and the least perfect one as well... Anyway, the solid kit grille just had to be redone, which I did to the best of my abilities. Hope it ...

Thanks! I can't lower the rear any more without cutting out the arches, and I would rather keep them intact. So it will probably stay as it is. As for the resin copies - I don't think there would be sufficient demand for them. This kit is not very popuar and long out of production, so I wouldn't exp...

The main suspension components are ready. I still have to make anti-roll bars, steering rack and diff mount, but that can wait until later. http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5634/25873748.21/0_9f1a2_d9c4fa55_orig.jpg http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4124/25873748.21/0_9f1a3_4f0ba328_orig.jpg Now we can s...

Thank you for your comments, and sorry for making you wait so long for the next update. The progress has been very slow, but the project is not dead! In the meantime I have almost completed the underbody and the engine compartment, only some small details to add. http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6440/...

Thank you, guys, I'lll try not to disappoint you. :) Here's a little update - a picture of the model body (green silhouette) overlaid on a photo of a real car: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6426/25873748.1d/0_9602b_aa975309_orig As you can see, there are some inaccuracies, but they are mostly impos...

Hello folks, merry Christmas to everyone! I finally found the time to take some pictures of a model I started about a week ago. http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4122/25873748.1d/0_95ec3_77f7ec0c_orig.jpg Box contents: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6440/25873748.1d/0_95ebe_efafb53e_orig.jpg http://img...

Thank you, guys!
I think I'll start a WIP thread here soon - haven't done any modeling since June, it's about time to get back to building!

Hello everybody, this is my first post here. I'd like to introduce myself, and I think the best way to do it is through my models. Most of you have probably seen these models at one of the Finnish exhibitions (or at automotiveforums.com), and some of you already know me in person, but for those who ...
