Be fun watching this one Helmut, I'm glad there are other builders out there with kits started at least 30 years ago!! Dave B

Nice build Doug, Kermit never looked so good. Dave B

Ok, I've been building this for the last 40 years and it's time to do some more work on it while I still can!!! An old mate of mine, now deceased, gave me two Cox Cheetah bodies. One had the roof broken off so I built that first as the Crosal roadster but kerbside. I then started this as a full detail version and have been on and off it for the past 40 years. All the frame is scratch built, a Corvette provided the rear suspension and the front is scratch built but not finished as I have yet to fit a rack and steering column. The engine is from the donor Corvette. Time to start again, wish me luck. Dave B

Great looking build and techniques here Jason, tks for posting. Dave B

Tks for the kind comments. Picked up the small Agip logo's Phil printed for me so it's finally finished. Dave B

Back onto the Zagato, I am not happy with the profile of the door windows but there's nothing I can do about it. Being thin resin and not very pliable I'd be asking for trouble. Shouldn't take long to build but we'll see. Have downloaded a Chaparral 2E file so I may ask Phil to print that for me and work on both at the same time. Dave B

Tks Rich, wheels and tyres make all the difference. If I hadn't had a them I wouldn't have restored it. Dave B

Tks, yes 1/16 Otaki I originally built probably 45 years ago. Dave B

Looks good Helmut, hope you have a Hasegawa Muira so you can buy one and fit it!! Don't forget to post your build in WIP. Dave B

Looks great Doug, tks for sharing. Dave B

Great looking race car and a very nice build Thomas. Dave B

Finally finished restoring the Stradale', been fun but I'm glad it's finished. Tks for looking. Dave B

Almost finished. The fit isn't perfect but I have to remember it's a very old kit and a restoration to boot. I'm pretty happy with it, little more work and a few decals and it's onto the DB4 Zagato although I do have a 1/16th GT40 in dire need of restoring. Dave B

Looks good Pat, this a really nice kit. Dave B

This is a great kit Pat and yours is looking good. Dave B

My repair by sinking a piece of spring steel into the plastic by means of a small soldering iron. I did it on a wet sponge to prevent the plastic from buckling. This the second piece, the first being in the centre. Dave B

Tks Helmut, great clip. I hope to post a few more pics shortly but managed to break the thin edge of the body around the rear window this morning. I'm going to have to heat sink some thin spring steel into the plastic to prevent it breaking again. Already done it once on the centre section. Will try and blend paint, it was a bugger!! Dave B

Looks great Rich, what brand kit? Dave B

That's a great build Gerald. I have around 5 different Tamiya slot car bodies I bought just for this purpose but I seem to be building 3D printed models instead!! Dave B

Looking great so far. Dave B

Fantastic build Ismael and I'm not into old old racers!! Tks for sharing. Dave B

Ok, Phil had a few issues printing this for me. Although he sized all the pieces to the same % the the doors, bonnet and boot were to large. Also had great difficulty printing the doors as you can see. Anyway he resized the doors for me and reprinted. Although everything opens they are not going too. No details provided except a reasonable interior and I need something easy after the 33TT12. Dave B

Now I've finished the 33TT12 I can restart the Stradale' restoration and DB4 Zagato. First coat of red. Will rub down and continue shortly. Dave B

This is my take on chassis AR11512-010 as driven by Bell and Pescarolo to victory in the World Manufacturers Championship round at Spa in 1975. First of all I'd like to thank Phil once again for printing it for me. I've done a fair bit of work to achieve it's current state as all the engine detail printed was removed and replaced. Painted in auto acrylic and clear coated. Decals by Patto. Tks for looking Dave B

That's coming on very nicely John. Dave B
