Bengalensis Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Here is the finished Thrust2, as much as possible built to represent the look of October 4th 1983 when Richard Noble raised the land speed record to 1020 km/h with a top speed of 1047 km/h, although I'm not perfectly sure about the rear end decals for that date. I have never considered this car very interesting or appealing earlier, but the build of this model and the research has very much changed my mind. The model is built from the FPPM 1/24 scale resin kit, with a few added or modified details and decals. There is a WIP-thread here. 40 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 If it wasn't on a glass table, I would have sworn that was the real thing. Superb job as always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Another stunning rendition of a very interesting machine. Excellent job, Jørgen ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Your usual surgically pure work Jorgen. Just wonderful. This complaint has NOTHING to do with your work - I wish the prototype was not plastered from stem to stern with signage. Of course I realize the need to display sponsors. But for me it ruins the incredible, blunt shape of brutal power. It is a gigantic sawn-off 12 gauge shotgun on wheels. You've captured it beautifully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alteregoni Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This is really something! Truly a masterpiece and refreshing new take on automotive modeling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This is the first land speed record attempt I even vaguely remember. You've captured it very well, and I love the way it just looks like a jet engine with the barest of bare essentials fitted. It's been great to see your work on getting this together and, as usual with your builds, an excellent end result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
