Top Gear - Middle East Challenge
Posted by OctaneOrange on Monday, November 5, 2012 9:22 PM

my latest models from the trio's UK series. The challenge was to buy a sports convertible, traveling 1,200 miles west to Bethlehem, driving through northern Iraq, Syria and a few other Middle Eastern countries and deliver gold, frankincense and myrrh to a newborn in a manger.

Jeremy chose the Mazda MX-5, James a BMW Z3 and Hammond a Fiat Barchetta.

For this i wanted all cars to be 1/25 scale. The Barchetta was easiest to aquire and the bmw the hardest (ended up buying it from hong kong). Each was built and painted mostly box stock, with only a few alterations to match their 1:1 counterpart. Let me know if you want to see assembly images.
