As soon as I am done with the editing and get approval from Lee i will let others know. I would love to send some of these out, but I don't want to get in any dust up with Holman Moody.

I have spent two weeks editing and have 4 hours down to 1. Unfortunately my computer and it is a very fast computer, took about 10 hours to render the video from one form of HD to one usable on a Blu-ray disk. Something I hadn't anticipated. It is coming but it may take a bit longer. Pete

Trumpeter is a Chinese company that manufactures injected plastic models of all kind. They have announced that they will be producing a 1:12 scale GT40 Mark II. From the photos of the plastic it looks like a mix of a Mark II A and B but I will have to wait until I see the real thing to make a...

My sources say 12 to 18 months. They still have a lot of work to do.

I posted a thread some time ago seeking an original condition Mark II. It was suggested that I contact Lee Holman and look at his car. My friend, who wanted to photograph a Mark II for model kit purposes, arranged for us to visit the workshop in Charlotte. I have to say, it was a once in a life...

I'm kind partial to a good ol redneck en'marican!:nice:

I think this discussion is a bit moot. It really is a Ford vehicle and Ford at the time was truly a world power in the automotive industry. All of the "privateers" had close associations and ties with Ford, whether it be Ford of England as a desine studio, Alan Mann, Shelby America...

Mike - Just got back from Charlotte and had an unbelievable experience. Lee Holman spent the day with us in his shop. The other employees had the day off, so we had the place and Lee to ourselves for the entire day. We went through all of the parts and pieces, all the documentation, plus...

We are scheduled to go the second week in January. Camera(Sony Hi Def hard drive video) is ready and I am really getting excited. The birth place of original cars has got to be a treat. I will post photos on return. Pete

Mike - Thank you for your suggestion. We did indeed contact Mr. Holman and he was most gracious. We are setting up a time that is convenient when we can go to his shop and have access to the car. I am really looking forward to meeting him and hearing his take on the car. Thanks again...

Paulo - I appreciate your comments. I also had heard that they were using another kit as a basis for theirs, but I have also seen the test shots and know that they say they have a long way to go. Perhaps a year or more before the molds are ready. Knowing trumpeter, they have had some great kits...

My friend has sent a letter of introduction to Mr Holman. Hopefully he receives a positive response. Thank you for the suggestion. Pete J.

Allan - Thank you for your comments. This request is somewhat different in that the after market kit will replace cast plastic pieces with machined and photo etched metal parts. It will include detail which is hard to create in scale by the average builder, such as the seat grommets, rivet, nut...

I want to thank all those who welcomed me to your web site. I have a request. As those who read my introduction know, I am a model builder by passion. There is a new large scale kit of a Mark II about to hit the market. This is likely to be an extraordinarily successful kit as it is the...

I would be happy to. That is exactly what I was alluding to. As a newbee getting it right isn't always easy. Thanks. Pete J.

Simon, This is actually my second 935. I have plenty of photos as Marcus Nichols at TMMI has asked for an artical on the subject. I would be happy to share them with any one who is interested. I am a little reluctant to put them up here, as I am new to the board and they only marginally pertain...

Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I am refering to the Trumpeter kit. I am really excited to see it coming out. There have been several 1:12 scale kits before, but they were all small resin casters productions. They were also in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. This is the first kit from a major...

Greetings to all - I have been lurking on this site for a while and finally decided it was time to join the group. I am not an owner(except in my dreams), though I have owned my share for sporting vehicles. My first was a '72 240Z followed by a '74 911. I currently have a '93 MR2 turbo with...
