Pyro 1931 Alfa Romeo Gran Turismo

[Ember]

It's looking absolutely lovely.

I have a couple of those drivers sitting in my paint queue. One for His Lordship's Stutz Black Hawk and one for my Blower (if I can ever get it sorted). They have a certain...ummm.... naive charm.

Looks beautiful, great work so far. :)

It would be cool to see more pre-war cars in this scale.

Ember - The driver bodies are quite good, but the heads supplied are really rather poor - a little too Ichabod Cranish for my liking and not well cast at that.

That is just the Bee's knees! I love the way this car is turning out! As for the scarf idea - try a heavier paper like a paper towel soaked in glue and dried or a small piece of cloth.

Great work!!!! Here is my version built for the 2010 Wolverhampton Pre-War event.


And the chassis

[quote="Ember" . . . Some muslin dipped in white glue might work, that way you can even have a fringe on the end of the flying scarf.[/quote]

Watch you don't do an "Isadora Duncan", though.

Alexis
That's the first one I've seen done by anyone other than myself. How did it run?

[alexis in greece]

It was very smooth,not very fast,i was not really pushing(i have the impression that if i had added a little weight low i could have been much faster) as i didnt want to risk a high speed crash which would be fatal for such a delicate car,finished 19th in the race out of 36 entries and 10th at the concours.The motor is Scaleauto 25k slimline 1.5 mm offset mounted.

And a different angle photo


And before fitting the driver

I'll post the link to the race tomorrow

Wow, your build turned out great. The badge detail on the front is a wonderful touch. Regards, John
