Peter Roberts Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Does anyone do 1/24 scale snow skis? I found a set by Fujimi (#11252) but this seems to be out of stock everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade H Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 It would be easy to make your own from plastic card. To make the curves, heat the plastic and bend it over a former (any item of the right shape); or score a succession of grooves with a fine razor saw, cement into a curve, and smooth with putty. HTH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Yes, have considered that one but baulked a bit at the thought of the boot attachments. May have to go that path by the look of it tho.

Ade H Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I'm no skier, so I looked at some pictures and found all kinds of shapes, including simple old-fashioned straps. They could be represented with metal strips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to scratch up the ski mounts too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This month’s Classic and Sports Car magazine has a set of features on Bond cars, including one about a guy who has replicated both the white Esprit and the brown one with skis in 1:1 scale. It has some info and decent photos of the set up in the film and on the replica. It’s not as simple as it might seem… best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Roberts Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Brilliant! Thanks for the heads up M. I’ll see if I can get a copy. Yes, from what I can see those mounts a bit unusual! Thank you Chimp’, I did see some kits had skis but didn’t see any currently available. I’ll check that out. Thank you all for the ideas, guidance and help Edited September 7, 2021 by Peter Roberts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
