In process is my first original model in many years. In this case I have decided to do the pattern work here in my studio. The plan is to do the castings, vac forms,photo etch and decals here as well, so...this will take some time but should be worth it. The model will be very limited with many machined details also made here in my studio.

The subject is very special. It is the prototype to the 250GTO. I will make two versions in very limited quantities, the #12 car that appeared recently Pebble Beach and the Sterling Moss version from Daytona.

Thanks to Mike for the great photos below and have a look at this link for more photos:

And here is a preview of the model in it's pattern stage.






The nose and the rear deck area are still pending some revisions.

This is a very nice car. As a GTO 62 collector I was not directly looking for this Ferrari, but in this case I will contact Peter for more details
I love his work and looking forward to own one of his masterpieces.
Craftmanship Peter

Thanks for picking that up Christian...I must be more careful with the cut and paste!

Here is some good info on the cars history.
