WIP : Why not build 8 Le Mans winners at the same time?
Now that the 2005 Le Mans 24 Hrs are coming close, my interest is drawn to one of my building projects that need attention : modeling every post-war Le Mans winner in 1/43 scale, forming a complete collection in a showcase.
The picture shows my showcase and all the Le Mans winners form 1949 until 2004. I added the not-built kits to the completed kits to motivate myself to complete the ones still to be built. But building one model at a time is pretty demotivating since you don't really see the progress, so I decided to build 8 at a time. The ones with a red line around them are the ones I'm building. The first models are a little further in progress, the last one still has to be spraypainted. This method has one big advantage : I never have to wait to let somethig dry, I can always continue another model. I keep you posted! |

Bloody h*ll, Sennake!!! That is one cool showcase! I love line ups like this. Happy modelling with these 8 ones, I'll follow you´re work. The start looks promising.
best regards Joel

Re: WIP : Why not build 8 Le Mans winners at the same time?
Crikes!!! I get confused with one model on the go at 1/24 scale, let alone 8 at 1/43 scale.
You're some guy, Guy! I have no doubts all 8 will be stunning

Really nice display and novel way to keep motivated (as long as you dont lose the parts for the unbuilt ones).

Well, things have been a bit slow because of the Roland Garros Tennis Tournament (in which the ladies' title went to my fellow Belgian Justine Hénin), but now I've picked up the pace again and so I decalled 2 more car bodies...

Nice, that 956 looks outstanding. Are you sure these are 1/43??
