It is my pleasure to introduce Fabrice Marechal from Belgium. Fabrice is an exceptionally talented builder of many scales and has been featured in model building publications in France, Argentina and the US. I am fortunate to have an opportunity to represent his work in the future and would like to begin by showing the first "Miniwerks" project here in the forum. Fabrice will share his WIP with his comments. I hope you enjoy it! |

The finish on the exterior is simply amazing...but I think the steering wheel, shifter and seats are rather "chunky" and could used some extra work, maybe a photoetched steering wheeel center would looked good.

I like Fabrice's interpretation of "improved slightly"...
This is a mighty impressive TR! :o)

The soft top gets its pressure fixings, crafted with a hollow punch and tin.

New photos and comments from Fabrice...
The interior of the car is built and the original parts have been improved slightly.
The battery received electrical cables and some details are added.
The switches of the dashboard are added and ignition key is crafted.
The steering wheel photoetched is rounded, and a hub is added.
The seats are textured with two different varnish for unify shades of red and make it look more like leather.

New progress from Fabrice, his photos and comments below...
Finally, the seats do not suit me. So I redid the work. I found wire finer (0.25 nylon and metal). But impossible for me to glue these wire. So I redid the work, with starting wire. But I proceeded differently, to bond the wire. This is the painting that should make a difference ...
Look at the two pictures of my Ferrari 312B 1/12. Here's what I mean by a job that resembles nothing before painting.
