1:18 couple of models by ModelCarWorkShop

One of the most beautiful cars competing in the expert class in the Tulip Rallye, an Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina.

This is a customized diecast miniature scale 1:24.



Colour is changed, bumpers are removed, wire wheels and spotlights were added. Also bucket seats, quick fasteners, towing eyes and livery are custom made.

Pontiac GTO form 1965, a true muscle car. Right? On Discovery channel I saw many programs like Overhauling, the Gas Monkeys and so on. Now I got my hands on an American car and sourced a supercharged motor. Time to play!



Found 4 chromed wheels that could work on the car.



After cutting a big hole in the bonnet the blown engine fits quite nicely.



The door gabs of the Maisto base model are wide. Very wide. Extremely wide. So made those smaller. The doors don't open any more but I don't fit myself anyway. Also made a bigger cover / sill between the wheels.



Then lowered the stance, added yellow bucket seats with safety belts, metal plating for the doors (the inner door lining), a roll cage, new exhaust, front spoiler, quick fastners and decals. The wheels at the rear got bigger and wider tires. Also the rim is now 5 mm wider (I used an other rim for that)

Hey Maarten,
i love your work, it is brilliant. Keep your good work.

A couple of weeks ago, this big model came limping in. It is a 1:12 Corvette by Franklin Mint.

One wheels broke from the hub, the roof was disintegrating, trim came off, doors didn't fit any more. In other words, the Vette was in desperate need of restoration.





The Goodwood green and white striping look very classy together with the green interior, just like the real car (no pics yet).

Very beautiful Pictures.Your Models

[Opc Ghost]

Your models are real the dream of every collector. The GTO is one of my favorite model!

[mnmarcel]

Oh, Franklin Mint made some models in 1:12? I didn't know that...

Your modifications are as great as always. I really like the new colour.

[SFRC]

Thanks all!

@ mnmarcel, Franklin Mint made a few 1:12 models. And right now the are horribly expensive. This Corvette is made from fibre glass. Just like the real car. Lights work, the horn sounds and when you press the ignition key the engine revs as well.

[mnmarcel]

Wow, that sounds pretty amazing. It's a pity that Franklin Mint didn't produce many model cars in 1:18.

All of your latest shown cars are very appealing - as usual

but ... this one

Zitat von SFRC

... really hit my heart

Imo it's one of the most beautiful sport sedans ever built ... "la berlina che vince le corse" ... as contemporary ads said

[SFRC]

Did you know it's from the same designer as the Volvo 121 Amazon?

Anyway, it is jaw dropping beautiful to my mind.

[Faultier]

Stunning work, esp. the Singer

This red BMW M3 Cecotto (E30) model by AutoArt in scale 1:18 gets a make-over.



The body is sprayed in Macao Blue and the interior in light grey. New M3 badge and Belgium license plates are added.

[SFRC]

Just a few more











Forgot to shut the door...

[Webber]

Wow!
That Singer Porsche is absolutely delicious!

What did you use as basemodel?
Is it an Autoart or a Welly?

I would love to see more pics of the car, especially of the building process

Since I've seen that car on Jay Lenos Youtube channel, I want to do a replica of it in 1:18 so bad

Just go to the middle of page before this one.

The base models are form AutoArt.

The Triumph Spitfire used to be a small affordable and exotic looking sportscar. This mark IV looks very decent but a bit dreary. It is a diecast 1:18 from Sunstar.



A 'Cafe raceR' appearance is what I'm aiming for.



Front spoiler, removed wind screen, stream line head rest, metal plated interior, detailed engine bay, classic bucket seat, quick fuel filler, quick fastners, big bore exhaust...

Now choosing wheels.

[Wieder einsteiger]

Normal sagt mir der Spitfire nicht so zu, aber dein modell ist echt genial

[Frodo]

Fantastic
