Vasta

Last summer at a car show I bought a 1/12 scale model of my Coupe in Machine Silver. Nice model but I wanted it to match my real car.

So I contracted Ed (Pipedreams) to paint and modify the model to match my car.

I think the results are amazing, Ed was able to put in more detail than I could have imagined. Check out the license plate and hood-liner. Unbelievable!

Oh, I small thing. I had Ed paint the seat inserts Red because I'm having Gerardo redo my seats like that sometime this year.


First: Original model










Second: Ed's paint & modifications









Lastly: My Vette











I just wanted to share this with all of you. and to thank Ed again for a terrific effort on his part.

I've been looking for a VR with black interior in 1:18 and can't find any. I'd even settle for one of those with the wrong wheels......yours looks very nice..awesome detail.

Ed did one for me as well. The only difference between the real car and the model is Ed's paint job is much better.
