Hello!

Laurent recently completed 4 models for me....I share pictures....

#1...

Ferrari 360 Modena



Black + black wheels + yellow calipers....wicked bad...

*Photo belongs to Jason Tang*


Instead of requesting the challenge wheels, I decided to retain the kit's 5 spoke wheels....Always liked how clean they looked...







#2...

Ferrari F355 Sypder...


White suits the body shape of the Spyder best, so thats what I went for...









#3...

Mercedes CLK GTR






The livery is distinctive and attractive, no doubt....However, I decided to keep it painted in the same color but plain body...shows off the curves more nicely...

Finish the wheels, front grille, and hood ornament in black plus add decals on tire sidewall, and you got a Benz with attitude...:)







Last and not least, #4...

BMW GTR


The kit was intended to be competed like this version...


But once again, I had my sights on a plain body....most difficult decision for me was to keep the rear spoiler or not....In the end, I decided to leave it off....looks so clean without the spoiler....:)

This is the first BMW model car in my collection, and happy to say Laurent built it for me...:)

Surprised it took me this long to add one..







Thanks!

Always a treat to look at Laurent's creations. You made some nice choices. Love the stance of the BMW by the way.

Cloud, Laurent for you to work full time ... :)))). I'm scared that construction from my models kit will not have time... Congratulations to fulfill model's dream. Nice Laurent work.

I have just drooled all over my keyboard...

I would go on about how unfair life is - but seeing that a Rosso built MG Lola EX257 just landed on my desk this morning, I cannot really complain too much :o)

Lucas, the 360 kit was the standard version - not the Challenge, so the wheels were not changed.

Oh sorry you're right, I made a mistake in my Translation.

I understood "Instead of requesting the challenge wheels" = "waiting to find CS wheels" but I was completely out! (it's still too early)

I built also one Open/Close 360 model whith Black wheels :
