Some Ferrari's

[arcticwolf]

Yeah, I'm just showing off.

I just finished the 312T, so a group shot of the collection so far.

Two for Niki, one for Jacky, two for Gilles.

Great collection!

I like your collection, Paul. I need to do my T2, T3, T4 and B3 so I can have a line up like yours.

You got any more shots of these Paul (arcticwolf)? What I'm seeing of these looks great but one can never have enough shots of cars like this.

A beautiful lineup of prancing horses. Wonderful stuff Paul.

Very cool. Blinded by Ferrari red

Sure I do.

The T2 from hell. It was a Protar kit I got from a friend, partly built, partly destroyed.

Basically this

plus this

A lot of repair and painting, and lots of this

but I did get the chassis together

Had to completely re-make the whole front end

[arcticwolf]

Then the problem - the body shell. It was painted in something NASA should have used. By the time I got it off, half the plastic was falling apart.

Although I did manage with persuasion to get the side pods on

Stripped, re-glued, re-enforced, primed

But eventually, a T2 it became

They're my own cast resin tires

Happy enough from a piece of junk.

The bad news is I have a Protar T3 from the same friend, same condition, still to do.

It awaits motivation. (or a round tuit, if I ever get one)

cheers

Paul

I'm glad Joe asked it saved me from doing it. Beautiful work on these sir!!

A true labor of love that build is with all the work (and re work) that you put into it Paul. Your efforts yielded a great looking end product and I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with that T3.

Man...that is a hot collection!

Seeing that Protar resurrection is always a pleasure. I have built one 1/24 Protar and it was actually my 3rd formula one model. Luckily it was a relatively simplistic kit and I didn’t have to do any self harm to get it together. Still wasn’t my favorite thing ever. Your work on this one is incredible.

Thanks Kyle.

A Protar that went together not too bad (except the windshield didn't fit):

Only because it's a curbside, lol. Otherwise it would have had a Ferrari engine in it. I hate curbsides. Pretty car though.

Oh I love this car. Very pretty indeed. I have almost bought this kit a few times. Lol. Beautiful work on yours.

The 126C2 was a Protar kit. One of their better ones, a bit of a fight but it did go together OK. Basically OOB plus plumbing and wiring (no, I don't use the kit stuff, throw it out).

Also resin tires and rims supplied by a very nice guy from Spain, on account of this is what the kit tires were like:

Yep, Protar, lol.

Gorgeous builds, one and all!

Another beauty Paul. Keep the extra pics coming!!
