Hello All,

After patiently waiting for about 2 1/2 months, I received word several days ago that my latest model has been completed and now on it's way to a loving home! :) Based on the ABC Brianza kit, it was built by the incredibly talented Laurent Tay of Garage43. As strange as it may sound, I decided to go with the pearlescent purple because I had envisioned how the model would look as if it were "floating" when presented on the carbon fiber base. On to the pictures...

Absolutely stunning color choice...and 2.5 months is a pretty normal waiting time for any "busy" builder.

Wow - I love it!!!






Although I still love my one slightly more...






Sorry, not meaning to steal your thunder, here, but this is a subject that gets me jumping :o)
I have another kit here waiting to be built by Laurent in a different colour scheme, too...

That is some very nice paint work...he has the "wet" look nailed down.

If ever you want to move yours on, just say the word and I'll take it off your hands in a heartbeat!

I was blown away by mine when I first saw it, the colour combination (I'm a sucker for dark metallic red), mounted on a wooden base - I thought it was as good as it gets. But yours, mounted on carbon fibre like that that, well... now I have to completely rethink my plans for my second kit :o)

A terrible shame the real car was never built. That, and their 100P are two out of three or four of my most favorite French art deco vehicles from that era.
