Hi everyone,
I took a break from the Race this weekend and did a little molding, casting and modeling. I made molds of Ferrari 250 LM and P330 from some diecasts that have been in my casting box for some time. The only way I could get the 330 front end down was to cut the gear palte rails and sand the front of the plate. It is shown next to a 512S I did a couple years ago.

The 250 LM sets a little high in the rear so I am working on a second version. I took the dremel and thinned the rear trunk area on a slosh cast then cut it out and put it on a chassis. I then made another slosh cast and cut out the same trunk area an laid it on top of the gear rails. I then tacked it in place wirth resin. Afetr it dried I duck taped the inside then took some more resin and flowed it into the seams and gaps and sanded it. It is shown here next to the finished mold
