kdar.90HP 1 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Good to see you here on ACI forums after Team FIAT India and you did fantastic job with the scale model. Why don’t you think selling these scale models online. I hope you don’t mind. BTW I am ready to buy if reasonably priced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitlerinlove 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Appreciate your work. Keep it up. Observing your passion why dont you try this with other materials . I have noticed vintage car models handcrafted with steel as a work of art at various showrooms as decor. Those distorted shaped car models and even tank models are sold as high as 3 to 6 thousand. And they even dont involve minute and exact meausrements. You can give a thought . Atleast for your home decor. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

librankur 37 Report post Posted May 8, 2014 This is just brilliant. The FIAT Showroom is a piece of art itself. How do you make these ? I mean from scratch , what material / metal do you use , how do you shape these , show us your tools. Are you desigining something of your own? And as is on everyone's mind here , show us a Work in progress or a Time lasped photographic sequence of previous builds that you have completed Carry on the good work.

sagar777 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2014 by the way.the linea and punto were made about four years back when fiat first introduced the models in india..in fact i had reworked on these two a few months back to transform them to the current look. posting the before and after pics the linea before and after the transformation and here you see a regular punto evolving into an abarth punto evo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
