triumphfan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi, my latest build is the new Roaring Replicars kit of the Lola T.70 Just started this and still in the cleaning all the parts up stage. It is a wonderful kit, parts fit has been good so far, my take on it would be, makes a great model out of the box but there is scope for a lot of extra detail. I have already planned to add some 'extra touches' to several areas. Hope I can do the kit - and the car- justice. This is what I intend the finished model to look (something) like, The progress so far, wheels and tyres are ready for painting at the weekend, the body may also get a light coat of primer to check for any areas requiring more work.

shood23 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 A very interesting subject and looks like a nice kit, is it resin also I really like the gold on green look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yes, all resin with vac clear parts. Some very nice moulded detail once you get a close up on the parts. There are a few bits of filling to do, I am using Isopon car body filler and leaving it overnight to cure before sanding. Hoping to get the body ready for painting by the weekend. There is a top half of the engine moulded also. This can be detailed with fuel pipework and ignition wires. I need to get some clear tube for the fuel pipes.

griffsrw Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 steve. check out the bag with ignition wire, there should be some clear fishing line in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Wheels and tyres painted and body in first guide coat of primer, time for a mock up. Fit of parts is superb and all wheels touch the work top on first try, unusual for a resin car kit! The rear jacking frame/brace needs to be scratched from plastic rod...... Engine plug, wheels/tyres and frame all painted and ready to install. Body now painted and glazing vac-forms trimmed. Very enjoyable so far.

heloman1 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Looking good there Steve, the Lola was always one of the best looking of the sports cars of that period. Looks like a nice easy build. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
