Thanks to Master Craftsman Laurent Tay (Garage43)
He's such a great guy to deal with and also a man with a good heart. Dropped by his office recently and saw this model sitting in his shelf and I just had to have it because it was my first car. He did more work on it and had it put on this beautiful diorama.

That is fantastic, Sam.

I seem to recall Laurent telling me a long time ago that he loves doing this sort of thing every so often, but that there is seldom much call for it.

Actually, I have been considering having the Blue Flame he is doing for me finished like this (only salt streaked instead of mud & dust, obviously).

The land speed record vehicle from 1970, Sam. It was what started my passion for LSR; my grandfather gave me a poster of it when I was a small boy :o)

It now resides in the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum in Germany.

Working on a 1/12 MFH based rally car...Lancia 037 Championship car. The base is a rally road but I don't think the client wants the car "dirty"...but it sure would make it an awesome scene!

I have a thread on the build under Miniwerk's projects. One is still available so the sky is the limit!
