Well it's finally finished. I've never been a quick builder, yet even by my standards this took along time. However I've learnt alot along the way and this is definitely my best work so far, and most off all apart from a couple of home goals I've enjoyed the journey. The Tamiya kit is an oldie but goodie and if your just starting the hobby its a very good place to start. Whilst I wouldn't necessarily recommend the Motobitz transkit to absolute beginner it an absolute jem and I can't praise it enough. Whilst it's true I didn't use all the transkit (due to the fact that these components didn't match my exact car) the bits I did use (the vast majority) fitted like a glove. So here we go. Firstly the obligatory link to my Work in Progress thread Next some of my favourite shoots of my 1 to 1 (which seamed to be alot easier to take than the model photos) Some profile shots Next up the underside Now for the glamour shots With my previous build And if you will indulge me a little further Being a Caterham fan I for Christmas and Birthdays I will often receive Caterham themed presents, such a t shirts and Pens etc. However one of the more obscure presents has to be a 1991 Chris Rea tour programme, because the centre spread is a painting of Chris driving his car on a beach! I've finally found a use for it This last one I simply call the Spiny (have to confess I was harder to achieve than I thought) Thanks again for your patience - Andy

As soon as Motobitz released their transkit to convert the Tamiya Super 7 to a Caterham there was only one car I was going to make....Mine!! Haven't done that much, I'm only really posting because it makes my 3rd build on Britmodeller feel like it's officially started. I intend to make this as accurate as possible without becoming obsessive (this might come back to haunt me later 🙃). Original nosecone Beginning of modifications Like my previous 2 builds here, thanks for looking, just don't expect it finished too soon - Andy

My most recent build, Tamya's 1/24 Lotus Seven converted to a Caterham Prisoner edition with a twist. Using the latest Transkit from Motobitz and reference from the book by Chris Rees I have built my interpretation of this car, fitted with cycle wings as opposed to the wings of the kit/original. The green is Tamiya LP IJN Racing Green 😉 with Pearl Clear, Yellow Tamiya TS97 Pearl. The last photo includes an earlier build of the Moke from the TV show.
