I know race cars take a back seat here - particularly F-1 cars but this model is so well done that I just had to share photos of it
It's the Lotus Type 78 that was put out some years ago by True Scale Miniatures and it is a masterpiece!

I like your pics. Is that an asphalt roof shingle ?
Clever and effective !

beautiful model & I love the simple & classic JPS livery.
My first 1:18 was a JPS Lotus 72 by Corgi.

@100ford2003 Yes, I installed roofing material on the plywood board that I use for taking photos outdoors. I also use it to line my display shelves because I find that the models tires don't stick to it like they do on smooth surfaces.

Sensational details ! Certainly a centerpiece collection piece.

"......model's tires don't stick to it like they do on smooth surfaces....." Frank raises an interesting point: Just what is the chemical reaction that causes model's tires to stick to smooth surfaces?
As I recall, 100 years ago when I use to build plastic models, the same thing use to happen. 🤔 🤨 🤔 🤨

100 Years ago? Man, you look really good for your age! You don't look a day over 90! 🤣
