  1. Started with an old FDS white metal kit.  To build it stock was going to take a lot more work than I wanted to do.

    I thought about making a vintage style race car for SCCA racing.

    Interior is from scratch except for the resin seat from the parts bin.

    Driver's side door was removed & a new one was made from brass.

    Wheels are also from the parts bin.

    Figure is from Denizen & my first attempt painting him with acrylics.

    Paint is Tamiya acrylics with a 2 part urethane clear.

  2. Cut the back half of roof & the rear deck off of the body.

    Followed out by hollowing out the inside of the body for a scratch built interior.

    Seats & steering wheel are from the parts bin. Etched & metal parts from Detail Master.

    Wheels are from Fujimi with Pegasus brakes.

    Paint is Tamiya acrylics with pearl powders from Pearl-Ex. Clear is Axalta 2 part urethane.

  3. What a great build on this kit! Beautiful & very clean work. Those wheels make all the difference on this.

    Love those big rear tires you make. Were these made from motorcycle hand grips, like on the Ice T?
