Jacques Brauer and Miniwerks will do a new series for 2015. Jacques has suggested the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder chassis 09437. This particular NART Spyder was first raced at Sebring in 1967 by Denise McCluggage, then spotted by Hollywood movie executive, painted burgundy and used in the 1967 movie, The Thomas Crown affair with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Jacques will do a series of 3 Thomas Crown Affair curbside versions. This will be an entirely scratch built series. Jacques can even do a fully operational soft top on request.

Nice work on the bumpers...had to fabricate the same types recently but used brass and nickel plated them. I little easier to sculpt the brass :)
