caterhamnut Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Based on the glorious 1/12 Tamiya Caterham kit, the only part of the original kit is really just the chassis and body panels (yellow and blue) - just about everything else is scratch built, including 3D printing recently - commissioned by a very patient chap in 2002, lots learnt since! Totally finished now - so on to the pictures! The WIP build can be found here: Thanks for watching! I'll post some photos of the 'source' cars below....to compare! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Magnificent - both of them! Quite possibly two of the best car models I've ever seen! Really enjoyed following your wip thread and seeing all the brilliant detailing you added! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Incredible models, a rare degree of realism on both. I really thought the first photo was of your reference car - and I'm not easy to fool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
