[Closed] One of none..... I thought, LOL.

One of none..... I thought, LOL.So I had mentioned in the past I thought these would make beautiful convertibles. I had this one sitting around as my sample car and late Friday I started the conversion then finished it early yesterday. Needless to say I made the boot which isn't perfect but for a sample its fine. Didn't have any sun to shoot good pics as its monsoon season here.Long story short I was posting it here and forgot to change the size of the pics so I didn't. I did however post it elsewhere and to my amazement though it was a true one of one in diecast/resin until it was pointed out that BoS launched there convertible version late Friday.I checked the site on Friday, didn't see it but I am glad I didn't buy 6 when I bought this one as I would be stuck with overly expensive convertibles nobody would buy.Onto the car, as you see and it may be the only red convertible version done (they launched a blue one). These are more time consuming to do then a metal car because of the car needed to make sure not a crack the fragile resin body. Because of this I got lazy and didn't mix the matching color for the boot or sun visors and just used some tan that was reasonably close I had pre mixed.Thought I would share and have a great Sunday.photo no longer availablephoto no longer available

That's what I thought, Usually 300s were just red, black or white.

I'm impressed

As a life-long, 66 year old model builder, I appreciate what you've accomplished here. Amazing and gorgeous.
