Detailing the 1/18 Ferrari 250 GTO from Kyosho

This model is one of the most beautiful in my collection with respectable detailing from Autoart.  But not good enough for me.  I added a few more details in the interior, underbody and engine.  Posting the opics that remained in my hardk disk from 2008. 

Deatiling a 1/18 Ferrari 512 Testarossa from Kyosho

A real beauty in form, I consider the 512 Testarossa as among the most beautiful ever produced by Ferrari before the end of the 20th century.  Here is the exquisitely sculpted 1/18 model from Kyosho posing in my garage diorama back during Christmas of 2008. Then using a light blue cartolina paper under my window. 

Back in 1994, I assembled a 1/24 Tamiya model or an earlier version, the first released by Ferrari and had it painted white, my favorite color for this particular Ferrari. I had it sit beside the 1/18 model. 

Another nice thing about the Kyosho model is that it was relatively easy to disassemble so I could have more detailing done to either the interior or the engine.  The interior I left untouched. but had a good time detailing  engine.  

The engine of the Kyosho model was detailed enough to allow for more detailing. This is perhaps the most detailing I did for any model. It rivaled the engines in some CMC and BBR models. Here are some pics that remained in my hard drive. 

 

Every Supercar should have one

Below are a few of my 1/18 scale die casts the benefited from a fabricated scale fire extinguisher. I placed it in a Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini and Ferrari testarossa from Autoart, a Ferrari California from Welly's, and a Bentley Continental GT from Minichamps. All photos taken in a garage diorama I made last year on my bedroom desktop also containing my PC.

Christmas of 2008

A garage diorama makers for a good place to release ,y 1/18 models from their boxes. The real pleasure comes with the detailing in an Exoto model for the Maserati Tipo 1 and a Ford.  The 1/18 people are from a set I bought locally .  Eventually, I would be buying action figures that look right for the scale and and dressed them up to look like mechanics.  

Just loved that miniature Christmas tree on the background. But the Exoto models are better.
