Stunning build.
PeterW Posted - 02/14/2016 : 07:25:08
Odd how these issues always come up when the build is already completed...the fact is I have presented all of my progress pictures with blue seats. If a correction was necessary that would have been the time to make the point ;) Just as I made the decision to go with the black leads. In any event I have seen reference of the car's interior and have seen both the green and the blue seats. I will consider the green for the next build ;)

Sometimes builders take some license and it's not a question of a customer being right but whether or not he is content with the end result.

I know of three other prominent builders that have presented the same livery with blue seats so none of us are perfect ;)

My apologies, Peter.
I did not intend to enter the contest "Who knows more."
Simply, I just wanted to help with my constructive criticism . This car is the winner of the Tourist Trophy 1962, and was the only GTO delivered by the factory than did not have blue seats , but obviously ....the customer is always right.

Magnificent, really beautiful. Congratulations Peter.

Very good job , Peter ....as always , but I think the seats were not blue in this race , but rather green colored .

Beautiful result, Peter! :o)

I have always liked the Ireland-liveried cars and this one is no exception.

Graham Hill's #11 car...Are the wheels painted a light metallic blue with polished outer rings?
Also...is the interior have painted gold areas?

Yes..the wheels are tinted blue. I prefer to use a clear blue over aluminum as opposed to a solid blue paint. Factory interiors were aluminum with a hammered gold tone which is what I use, some may call it artistic license ;)
