Renek Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Completed another car build that I enjoyed. I will probably replace the body straps when I think of something better to make them out of. Otherwise, the original model was a Burrago, the bodywork has been completely redesigned, a lot of modifications in the engine compartment, hand-made wiring and the cover of the passenger seat. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toftdale Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Cool project and very well done, you've managed to lose all traces of "Burragoness". I have to confess that without the front wings and the head lights, I would have made several guess before I said a Jaguar SS100 - Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just shows what can be done using a Burago diecast as the basis for a well detailed model. The potential is there as Renek has shown with skill, patience and scratch building ability to make a masterpiece from an inexpensive diecast model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 That is very smart. I've long thought the original was a real beast & your version of it shows this so well. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Lovely racer! You did an excellent job on the conversion and the detail, and the finish is very smart. I like the leather straps, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
