Scale-Master Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Seven parts for the can and mount, note the knurled edges of the cap. I think I can finally start it up now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kod38 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Those look real. I would love to do a 1/16 baja with that set up. Doug R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Finally have something more to share. The interior is pretty close to being finished as is the engine compartment. The nose is done and has the cloisonne Lotus emblem bolted on. (It is still a Caterham...) Also made a velcro fastened hide-a-key for the fender... The wheels are done and accessorized with Lotus center caps, (7 sided) and Super 7 valve caps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwdave92 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Stunning!!! I've enjoyed catching up with your project. How long have you been working on it? Do you own a 1:1 Seven? Good Luck Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks all. It figures that you would like the color Ismael, it's '96 Corvette Grand Sport Admiral Blue, it's touch up paint from my real car. I've been building this one for about 30 months. I have friends with real ones, they are a blast, but I'm not sure I want a real one in my stable, at least not right now. But it would a lot quicker just to build a real one from the kit than building models this way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 If it were real, I could finally test drive it. Dirtied up the real wheel wells just a bit, keeps it in line with the rest of the build, clean but driven. Also made the hex head bolts for the fenders, had Phillips head screws holding together before. The nose fits correctly, the hood is just loosely placed on it for the photos. It fits, but takes more time than I wanted to put into it at this time, so that's why it looks a bit askew. (Didn't want to loose the sun...) More to come...

Ken Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I remember seeing the red one in person at the IPMS nats, when they were held in OKC a couple of years ago. This one make that one seem like a toy. Which is saying a lot, cause the red one just blew my mind when I saw it. This is just incredible!! Especially, watching it come together!!!
