Tks Helmut,it's a little way off yet but I'll certainly try to live up to your expectations 😂 Dave B

There was a 50% off sale a month or so back so I asked Phil to download this file for me. He surprised me a few weeks back by printing it for me. Looks good but a lot of work to do. Motor, suspension and interior look good but the wheels are a bit average. There are also 2 McLaren's available so might look at them shortly. Dave B

Tks Helmut, it's nice to build something where I'm not trying to replicate the real thing. I can use a little imagination although I feel some things (i.e. the intake manifold) probably wouldn't work properly in reality. Anyway tks again and thanks to those who have been posting their likes etc. Dave B

Still lots to do but I couldn't resist sitting it on it's wheels. Dave B

Lot of work there Rich but you certainly got it looking good. Love the stance!! Dave B

So I've finished the Cheetah and am progressing the Zagato so I'm able to spend some more time on this. Getting both the body and chassis where I want them. Dave B

Welcome Jim, never to old to start again, never stopped building since the '60's!! Dave B

They are great builds Ken, keep them coming. Dave B

Great Helmut, those wheels are the ones we spoke about so you've saved some money there!! This should be good, will be watching. PS did you order the Cheetah body kit? Dave

Another great build Rich, Profil 24 kits certainly look worth the money. Dave B

Looks great Mark, nicely executed. Dave B

Tks Helmut. I haven't personally but I'm sure a mate of mine has bought their resin and it looks good. It's not 3D printed, just taken directly off the Cox body kit For AUD60 you couldn't go wrong!! Dave

Hi Rich, and tks, I'm really glad I finally finished it, just a shame my mate who gave me the bodies ( I also built a curbside CroSal roadster) never got to see it. My understanding is the wrecked aluminium bodied car was rebuilt and sold, but with a fibreglass body. Dave B

Ok, after 40+ years I have finally finished my take on the Bill Thomas Cheetah as driven by Jerry Titus. The debut came in January 64 at Riverside Raceway. Unfortunately while leading the pack the lower radiator hose broke dumping water under the rear tyres. The car went off on turn one, mounted the guard rail and went over the top. Jerry survived but the car was heavily damaged. My interpretation is based on a Cox slot car body, a '63 Corvette kit (engine and rear suspension) and a lot of styrene!! Painted in auto acrylic and clear coated, decals by Patto. Tks for looking. Dave B

Looking good Gary, not sure how I missed this one as I'm a Ford fan. Dave B

Tks Daniel, Historic Racing Miniatures did do one, full detail, though not sure if it is still available. Dave B

Take your time Thomas, it will build into a really nice model. Looking forward to watching progress. Dave B

Headlight covers, vacformed along with the windscreen, installed using Tacky Goo and are still drying. Will apply decals over the next few days. Tks for looking. Dave B

Looks great Rich and one of my favourite liveries, even if I have only one Martini sponsored racer.😂 Dave B

Sorry Gary, didn't see it lurking in the front row!! Dave B

That's a great collection of GT40's Gary and a nice build of 111. Thanks for posting. Dave B PS do you have the Can-Am version of 110?

Tks Andrew. Dave

Sorry folks, prepping the body is taking a little longer than expected so I've posted an update. Tks for looking. Dave B

This will be interesting, love the TrasAm era. Fred Cady decals are excellent, you just have to have patience and persevere. Dave B

Ah Rich, you were super lucky to pick up that kit and you have definitely done it justice. That's a super build of a beautiful car. Dave B
