1/8 scratch Ferrari 250 GTO

[Ian M]

Should make a lot of money on this. 1/8 scale of £38 million £4.75 million 

Not sure that it works that way. LOL


(be nice if it did though...)


Super work Roy. You put the M into modeller.

Thanks guys.


It would be nice if it WAS worth that much money.


More to update:


I've now added the front windscreen - LOTS of hair-tearing to get a decent fit.
The screen trim is 0.5mm rubber with a silver vinyl strip in the centre. Chrome looked too 'blingy'.


The twin radiators have been built up and fitted with part of the framework.
I cast the parts in resin and made the frame from small bore ally tubing.


Front suspension gubbins almost sorted.
A degree of artistic licence here to make it 'look' like the actual setup but be strong enough to support the substantial weight of the engine and body.


Wheels not actually fitted just yet.

As I said before - If only.
Knock some zero's off and it's nearer.

Sorry for the lack of updates....


The car is heading to completion now.
Seats have been made, dashboard built, floor in and rear end virtually sorted...
A few details to go.


If anyone wants to know anything - please ask!

The last pic of the red paint had a very good mirror gloss. What paint did you use please? (Obviously sprayed).

[Guest]

mate, this looks great, but where are you going to store it?

TBH - I've sold it to the guy who raced the real one.....


Many thanks for all the kind comments guys. It was a great fun build.
