Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 Hi, this is the first h0 scale resin kit I mounted. it's a Racing Legends french kit. I used CandR decals, and a magnatraction chassis, with modified front wheels and tires on front, and xtraction internal parts (magnet, gearplate) to have a "big wheel" effect, more realistic for the period. I wanted to rebuild the Nassau 1964 car : First, I modified the body clip to fit the body lower. I use a bit of plasticard for that : Then, I painted the body (spray can), and make a little pin stripping on it to make it look better. After that, I painted the wheels in silver, and applied some weathering on it. I painted the windows using my favorite technic, with dark silver paint (I don't like to see the gears and mecanic inside the car). Then, I mounted the body kit on the chassis <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 and last pictures (I was not able to add that pictures on my first post) : Regards, Dimitri Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - FrankLuettringhaus - 31-07-2009 SPITZENMÄßIG Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - Martin - 31-07-2009 The Corvette look very good. It look's like a real Sportscar. Great! Martin Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 thank you ! and sorry again to not speak german, I'm just not able to Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - Slotraver - 31-07-2009 Bonjours Dimitri, c'est model est formidable! Nice work! The Racing Legends kits are great. What a pity that they have stopped building their kits... Best regards, Andreas Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 thanks <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Yes, thierry (racing legends builder) prefers to make (great) scenery and landcape for wargames, for now. I hope he 'll do slot car kits again one day, especialy his great full detailled corvette : But some kits still available, BTW. I've got a 550 spyder to do, and plane to buy some modern "lemans" cars like c5r, viper, panoz, etc... Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - steffri - 31-07-2009 A warm welcome from me to you, too! Thats an absolutely great car you made there! I love all the Corvette body styles. I am a bit of a painter myself and love to see more ho scaleracing! I use mostly Pattos decals but used CandR decals as well. They have very nice resin kits, too! But most of the old AFX bodies are very good and nicely detailed. I painted a lot of them and like the Porsche 917K and Corvette the most. Here are some of my cars: [url="http://forum.h0slot.de/forum/index.php?showtopic=2963"]click[/url] Regards, Stefan Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 thanks ! It's funny, yesterday I watched ALL your photos album ! and I'll have MANY questions in the future, because I 've seen beautiful things, there <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I like your 917k 1970 3 cars set very much. I have to find resin repros of this body soon. I beleive Traxxs (cheap americain resin caster) will do it. the CandR products are great, even if their kits are a little bit expensive, but the biggest problem is the chassis choice. I don't like fast magnet cars, because even without magnet, the strong armature make them quite brutal to drive, in my opinion. regards Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - ebi - 31-07-2009 Wow!! As always great looking stuff!!! <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I looooove corvettes through all the ages. Regards Ebi edit: btw i'm now sitting infront of this Tyco '60 corvette [attachment=7245:IMG_2988.jpg] Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - steffri - 31-07-2009 Thankx, and don't hesitate to ask any of these questions! I like to help and and certainly will have some questions for you as well (regarding lexan bodies for example comes to mind) As for the 917K, I used almost only AFX originals since they are quite cheap to get by and usually come with the Magnatraction chassis equipped which is my favourite chassis. Regards, Stefan Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 I like the magnatraction chassis too, and the xtraction wich is slightly faster than my magnas. Sometimes, I mix the two chassis too <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - hansausdortmund - 31-07-2009 Hallo! I think, YOU, Dimitri would be very much wellcomed to the next RWE. Please ask Phillipe and Francois to travel alltogether to KIRCHHEIM next year! I guess we all would like to see your really beautiful cars on the race-track? Both of them, Corvette-GS and Ferrari-250-GTO are really beautiful! Well done! Bravo! Some of us speak French, some others English so we´ll have a very fine communication! (Otherwise we all talk in "Racing" or "Rock-and-Roll", languages we ALL understand)! All the best from Dortmund and keep going! Hans a D Corvette Grand Sport Nassau 1964 - demether - 31-07-2009 thank you a lot ! If next year I 've time an money, it will be a pleasure to come in Germany (and maybe pass a few days in tourism here too) <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
