Paul Payne Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Pegaso being a Spanish car, is that the hood ornament in the background?!?!? Seriously, any thoughts yet on a starting point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, any thoughts yet on a starting point? The symbol for Pegaso is a pegaso - a flying horse. Here's the logo - very stylish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Looking forward to seeing this build, growing up in Spain during the 1960 & 70's, Pegaso trucks and buses were everywhere ,so it's a brand I know well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 That's a new one on me. It's kind of cool ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Part will be easy, part will be challenging. I have a 1/24th scale slot car body of a Pegaso Z 102 from CricCrac, a slot car shop in Barcelona, Spain. The front of the Thrill is close to the Z 102, the rear will require major surgery. Here is the kit, and the slot car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 The Thrill has a prominent beltline running rather low, and forming the tops of the wheel openings, which I'm replicating with a strip of .040" glued and pegged into the body.

BlackSheep214 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That is a cool car. I wouldn’t mind doing one in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. Heh.... reminds me something Jay Leno would add to his collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Putty time. I use Aves Apoxy Sculpt: https://avesstudio.com/shop/apoxie-sculpt/ It has a long working time and is easy to sand and takes paint very well. Slow setting time, about 6 hours.

Pico Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Made a mold, of Apoxpy Sculpt, to form the flying buttresses over. Flying buttress is an architectural term but used in other contexts; so I'll use it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
