Xingbao / lego clone Ferrari 312T build

[cati]

Well after the gurney eagle weslake I thought I would crack open the Ferrari and start a build thread. Bit fiddly but rewarding none the less

Starting with the serpents nest of exhausts




Flat 12 crank



Boxer twelve complete


Gearbox, engine and rear suspension



Front end Friday ?



Enough for one day — front and rear end joined and floor plan coming together!

Day 2 made some good progress

Well on the Home straight today.. not much love for Chinese block I see...

So all nearly finished - second one I have built first was the Gurney Eagle Weslake v12 .. here they are side by side with an iPhone 6 for scale.. the Ferrari is going to get proper decals rather than the rubbish supplied

The Ferrari build was actually very very good went together very well and easy

The stickers I am ordering from the moc designer roscoepc. He charges a fair bit but I guess he is recouping some money. I will ask him if they are licensed as most of xongbao seem to be licensed from the moc guys.

I would really recommend both as good builds. The gurney is a lot more fiddly and benefits from the odd bit of superglue on the body. Looking forward to sorting the exhausts out and mounting them on the wall. I hope they do some more of roscoes cars he has about twenty formula 1 designs from the fifties right through to the late eighties worth a google

You don’t via AliExpress. Look on there as a few vendors are doing both together at a discount

I originally thought I would prefer the gurney so but it first.. it is an awesome car. But actually like the Ferrari more now. It is a lot better in the flesh

Luca is sending over stickers. If you want to contact him go via http://www.roscopc.it/contact/... he said that is the best way when I asked him.

Now with Lucas stickers

[cati]

it is a good red, i wouldn't worry. if the red bothers you the blockiness will really mess with your mind

[cati]

Roscoe is getting stuffed by xingbao- so buying from him at least gives him a chance to earn some doe

His stickers are really good so I would say go with him

[cati]

Not paying up, allegedly

[cati]

well done - I do urge anyone to buy the stickers off roscoe - he got royally ..... by our brick loving friends in another country.

His new 1:5 scale tryell elf is a masterpiece
