PatW Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 This came resin cast from Glenn Polkington in Australia..... And this is the finished item, all I needed to find was clear plastic for the front and rear windows. I also added alloy intakes on top of the engine............. Being a resin kit the wheels had to be painted as in the original Monogram plastic kit they were chromed. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Oh well lots of looks but no comments, I'll put my next build on a different site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The vehicle area is one part of Britmodeller that's still in its infancy, and if you give up it's unlikely to grow any further. Stick with it and make it the area you'd like it to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rwa66 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi PatW, Nice build, like the colour. I think model cars make very good subjects for dioramas, well done. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm a Monogram fan from way back. It's good to see this one here. I had no idea there was a resin version out there! Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Cool. I used to like building some of the custom American car kits in my youthful modelling. Maybe it was the influence of "Hot Wheels" getting to me before Matchbox caught up with "Superfast" which were often too wide for their own track! I still refer to "mag" wheels...

Thud4444 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) That's cool. Thats a loud green. But it suits the kit. Don't see how you could actually see out of that thing when driving it. Edited November 15, 2017 by Thud4444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks guys for your well appreciated comments. Well Steve Scott who originally designed, built and drove the 'T' seemed to get on OK with driving it, hopefully very carefully! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 UPDATE! I've bought a Molotow Chrome Pen and gone over all the ally painted parts, exhaust, rims, windscreen surround, rocker boxes and front axle............. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastieBoy73 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The vehicle section is pretty much the only section I look at on Britmodeller and your builds are the only ones I always look at, mostly due to your inspired choice of kits and the twist you then give them to take them beyond a standard OOB build. Long may your posting continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Cheers BeastieBoy73, yes I like to make/paint the way that I would like the real thing! That's why I'm not interested in factory finish, not enough creativity by the builder, that's only my opinion mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 OMG.... what a GORGEOUS quirkiest SUPER DUPER of a model.. Love it... IMPRESSIVE little diorama too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That's quite a big difference when you look at them side by side: I also think that the change of angle and the lighting shows up the paintwork better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumphfan Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Nice build of a quirky little rod. Nice that someone has made the effort to produce a resin copy. The dio is something I think I recognise, a superb piece from Scale Production? Great work, well done. Atb, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Nice build and a super paint finish you've got there - very quirky little show car that I've never heard of. Looks like it was a bit odd to drive. Those Molotow pens are the mutt's aren't they - swear by mine now. Thanks for showing ATB Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
