Just completed for me by Built Up Models:
(image credit: Built Up Models - more pictures on my website)
Based on an Alezan kit, although only the bodyshell was used; absolutely everything else was scratch-built!
In my opinion, Stéphane and Patrick are at the top of their game - and easily among the very best in the world when it comes to this sort of thing. They are also nice guys :o)

| Outstanding Jono! Congratulations. How long did you have to wait for that beauty to be finished? Yet another reason to visit New Zealand (not that there aren't enough already). |

You and your good lady are always more than welcome, Chris, you know that :o)
Built Up's time frames is one of the many things that blows my mind - I suspect Stéphane and Patrick are actually robots who never sleep... In this instance, I began discussions with them regarding the 164 back in the beginning of July and they started on the model in early November. Added to this, they also built a pair of 1/12 motorcycles for me at the same time!

That is a beautiful model. I wish I knew how they were able to do such fantastic work so fast. Great piece, congratulations.

| I agree Marshall..and often think the same thing ;) I imagine they are not perfectionists, this always slows me down. |

They really do great work, and they also do military models wich shows with their weathering and figure painting skills. On the larger 1/6th-1/8th scale models the wheels are the only slight weak point. He did a drop dead perfect Alfa T33/2 Lemans 1968, but the wheels look like 15 inch, not the correct 13 inch(to scale).
Amazing to watch him build. |
