roymattblack Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 This is a complete scratch-build I made a couple of years ago for a friend who used to race the real car. He supplied COUNTLESS pictures of the car and good old Google gave me the rest. These days, 3D printing is a life-saver as previously, I made the main body (and umpteen other parts) the 'old' way with wood masters, vac forming or resin. Anyway - about 6 months full time work. My friend was happy with the result. 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klubman01 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Blimey, that's good. And not red, either! Great work, well done. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Hello Trevor - Funnily enough, it WAS red to begin with until I was commissioned to build the silver car.. That also involved filling one of the side vents and modifying the bonnet. Edited July 17, 2020 by roymattblack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
