Very impressed with the quality of work and the detail - I have a 1/18 Otto Fiat Coupe in Sprint Blue and I'd love it to be modified to look like my own car (later 'Plus' model)
Would involve RHD conversion, different wheels, side skirts, bumper extensions and a different colour
Is this something you'd take on?

I sure can but make sure you sit down before I give you the price. Sound like a an extensive mod.
I've thought about this some more.... I've recently seen one modded fairly well by a guy in Vienna - have a look at some of his Fiat Coupes here https://picasaweb.google.com/116392131677113899362...Go on, I'm sitting down - please give me an idea (or a range of prices)
Many, many years ago this customer used to have a 'Bordeaux' coloured Citroen DS as a kid. At some point his mom chucked it in the bin.
Now, decades later, his wife asked me to customize a Citroen DS, Bordeaux red, diecast and in scale 1:18. A late Christmas gift or an early Valentines gift.
I started with a similar Solido model as this one:
Changed the interior colour, added seat belts, carpets, mirror, head lining and closed up the back of the front seats.
Added side windows, new wipers and side mirrors.

3 members of the Dutch Alfa Romeo Challenge retired form the board. As a present they got miniature versions of their racing cars.
The real cars
AutoArt and LaudoRacing are used as base models.
Stripping, moulding, modifying...
Paintng, artwork for the livery, many decal.
Custom 3D printed wheels
Nearly ready. I don't like the carbon look very much so I will have to change that.

I collect 1/43 model cars of cars I've worked on and have a couple of gaps in my collection that need filling.
Would you be interested in making a 1/43 model of this for me?

It's based on a LaFerrari and there only a few photos from which to create the shape from.
I also have a longtail 1/43 McLaren F1 that needs a respray and a minor bit of bodywork.

"Can you build a Maybach Zeppelin 62 s" I was asked. Guess so...
These are the base models by AutoArt. A long 62 model and an S short wheel base one for the lights, wheels, grill, exhaust.
Small challenge, glasses from the lights and roof are one piece with the coloured bits. That makes spraying it just a bit more difficult. No mistakes possible.
The interior from grey to beige.
Rebuilding the two tone body.
Probably the longest car left my workshop today.
