Stop-motion assembly: Revell's Type D race car in 1/32

Animation of Revell's plastic model kit "Auto Union Type D" with my little plastic fellow. I made some improvements by printing 3D parts with my ANYCUBIC Photon Mono X and green UV resin:
- spoked wheels
- radiator grill
- windshield
The car model is intirely painted with alclad II alu and silver. In addition I used Molotow's liquid chrome for some emphasizing and especially for the mirrors.Spokes and some cable simulations are made with material from Albion Alloys.
Music is composed by my good friend Erick Miotke.
The kit was a gift from my modelling friend Stefan Schacht.
It was a pleasure to work with it as a base and get the chance to improve some details with additional materials. Hope you like my little experiments...

This is not only modelling, this is Art. Thank you.

Du Guter 😘

[@colinritchie1757]

Your little helper is a damm sight better modeller than I'll ever be, as usual Tom a masterclass is good old fashioned modelling skills combined with the best that modern technology can offer, Superb!

[@TomGrigat]

I'm glad you see it the way I see modelling. Thanks

[@avi8r66]

The final product looks terrific, but your videos just blow me away every time. Thanks for all the work you put into them.

[@davemagariner1930]

The video and model is mind blowing. How can anyone person have so much talent?

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks

[@PhotoFlight]

Your videos are like watching a magic show. After all is said and done you know what the process is. But like watching a street magician, in the moment it's truly magic. Thank you.

[@yangzhihong1509]

This is pure masterpiece, both modeling and video editing

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you very much

[@howardharaway2259]

I have this kit unbuilt from Matchbox.
I am not a big fan of European race cars but this car REALLY floats my boat.I WISH REVELL if possible, would make this kit in 1:25 scale. Imo , it would sell like hot cakes !

[@1foxmark]

As always a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

I can barely comprehend amount of work invested in model alone, and including stop motion in process.... Absolutely astonishing.

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you 😊

[@Grasshoppa65]

I am not sure which is more brilliant. Your model building abilities or you sublime stop animation of the whole process.
Jaw droppingly awesome video.

One word: STUNNING

[@TomGrigat]

thank you

[@modelermark172]

You did fine work on this classic Revell (ex-Matchbox) kit of the Auto Union Type D racer. Those scratch built upgrades and 3D Printed parts are a big improvement. But with your skills, I suspect you could have still made this classic kit shine as an out-of-the-box build!
My Like is in the 5.5Ks.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks for your kind words 😊

[@Guhonter]

Wow. Simply amazing, the wheels. the front grill, all these minute details make the model so much better, I can only imagine the time, effort and planning that went into this upgraded model. Revell must be vexed how much you improved their sometimes shabby parts :)

[@TomGrigat]

thanks - oh I hope Revell doesn't feel offended by my improvements..

[@CycolacFan]

[@TomGrigat]

thank you

[@grzegorzkowalski5100]

With your breathtaking craftsmanship in this model you seem to have paid a beautiful tribute to the 1930s engineers and courageous drivers of the original.
P.S. I was astonished to learn that Auto Union's racing cars labelled A to D were produced in Zwickau, which would later gain its notoriety / fame for Trabant cars.

Your mannequin has done a fantastic job yet again. He has superb taste altering the kit wheels and re-spoking them. Love the 3D printing of parts to add more detail. I have just purchased an Anycubic and am in the learning process right now. You can get flexible black resin to print tires too btw😱 Heller makes a good 1/24 Talbot Lago kit with excellent styrene spoked wheels. Kit needs massaging, but results are good. Fantastic work, love to see you come up on notifications of a new video. 🍻Scott
