Why I did this

This plaque is the project I hoped to start with someone no longer able to do it. All four kits were purchase years ago and left unbuilt . Thought were lost in the basement flood. Found them 1by1 by accident. So first found was the LOTUS7, then the Mr.2 , was hoping to finish in white and black but when the black trim went bad took inspreation from the picture I posted . There are all of the TAMIYA clear colors on the body starting with smoke , blue, green,red, orange , yellow with 2 costs of KRYLON 1K clear. Then found the mini and remembered mine and it's heritage. Lastly found the Fairlady. In my case it was actually a 280ZX. First of 2 1 NA and 1 Turbo. NA was white , Turbo was Black and Silver. Because this was a NA kit Whit it became. Now if you look very close and expand the picthre of the Mini it is on the grass near a Fire Hydrant. Take a careful look at the Hydrant ( made from LEGO). You will notice the front grill , that was Aluminum 1/4" plate with holes drilled thru it for cooling . And you will see the chain and lock. That is because the Highschool Football team were so afraid of it because it could chase them onto the field. No other car could fit or go up and down the stairs. So this is dedicated to that poor little car picked on by those bullies. If it gets free it may be the last face you ever see before you start to run for the bleachers. Better fear DARLA.
