Army_Air_Force Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Built for a friend, the Airfix Mini Cooper S in a 20 x 16 inch oak effect frame with instructions as the background. The frame contents look a little lopsided as I took the photo at an angle to avoid my reflection and corrected the perspective with photo editing. I normally do photos before the glass goes in to avoid reflections. That of course couldn't move the frame contents back to the right. The sprues all had brass tubes epoxied in place at the corners as supports, and M3 studding was then glued into the tubes to allow mounting on the frame backboard. 22 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone1980 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) What a brilliant idea! I've got a real front nose off a Brabham Alfa Romeo Fan-car, it'd be brill to find a kit and add it to a deep frame like this!
