You got it covered! Have to ask, that picture taken at Goodwood Festival?

I built the BTCC kit last century. Was tempted to do a tuner of it, but did box stock. Bummer about the roof pillars. Perhaps making it an El Camino would avoid the problem.

Thanks! Didn't know what I was looking at, so this solved the mystery. That's great! But I'm sure someone has 3D printed one...

The West Midlands police need something to do.

Just to show for an example, here is a model builder who uses 3D printing, to make mostly military prototypes. You can see the typical texture, but for these subjects it's not a big deal. I'm guessing he makes a living doing this too. Flickr: Gamla Model Makers

even for Bleu misterNNL: I saw what you did

I've seen his perfect models at a GSL. He must not be human. LOL Just the window tint alone is impressive.

Is that because of sand getting thrown around? What about making a vacuum-formed shroud?

Registered, but still need to reserve a room. Thanks for reminder!

Thank you! Using a q-tip, good tip.

I'm a 911 fan, but so many other manufacturers have done it, so not surprised they abandoned it. Thanks for showing us how they create models, didn't know woodworking was used.

Cute concept, the design lends itself to such a conversion. Feel your pain on the window trim, I've gone to the trouble of masking and airbrushing that part on some builds. I could see getting another kit, and splicing in for a longer bed.

I don't do NASCAR, but can appreciate a really well done model, and that looks awesome! What decal solvent do you like using?

Thanks for the additional information everyone! This is typical for me, I get a wild hair to get something, then a short time later a screaming deal. Found the 1996 edition at the Phoenix model swap, minus instructions and decals, for $12. Body of '64 vintage is dark red plastic, '96 re-pop is lighter red. The '96 has the slot car mounting points removed, so there are no sink marks, but trademark date is still '64. '96 does not have the slot wire wheel inserts, and no skull. Tires are different: '64 are Goodyear and look accurate, '96 are Goodyear but are wider (2944-2300 200/300). '96 box is bigger. I also got a Revell 360 Modena Spider. I've not been a fan of that design, so figured it's okay to destroy that to kit-bash with the old timer, to make a resto-rod. It will take lots of Dremel grinding. Big difference in width, wheelbase is about 2mm difference. I can see blending the lower rear valance of the 360 into the 275, using two 360 taillights. Think the wheels will look good. Interior will be the most challenging, might go with the old school look, with LHD. If anyone wants to do this, it won't hurt my feelings.

I built that when it was new! It's in my junkyard.

Oh man, you have now become corrupted, no hope for you if you try building those!

Love the subjects, and of course well done.

Very cool, with a turbo Subaru engine! Pirelli tires, haven't seen that tread pattern on a model before, for some reason always liked those tires, then their P7 took over.

I'm chugging up this long steep hill, and see headlights approaching fast.
