Looking good Charlie. Don't forget the body has massive tuck under. My old Cox slot car body had a high oil content and I was able to stretch the body over the chassis frequently without breaking the window frame line on the body. Aluminium will be a bit harder to stretch!! Dave B

Looks great Phil. A mate had a hot Cooper on racing rubber. Boy did we have fun in the dry!! Dave B

I really like those Group 5 style racers an yours is starting to look the part Fabrizio. Dave B

Looks tough Marty, tks for sharing. Dave B

Hi Marty, they're from my parts box, wheels are probably early Ford ('40 may be) and tyres are Firestone. Yes, could squeeze a roll hoop under the headrest, just lazy!! Dave B

Great build Helmut, you certainly did the old kit justice!! If I can get my Tamiya slot car body looking as good I'll be happy. Dave B

Ok, I've finished my streamliner. Scratchbuilt frame under a somewhat modified Hawk/Testor Bonnie Buggy. Flat head and all other items from the parts box, except the scratchbuilt intake and exhaust. At least I finished it!!! Painted in auto acrylic, Triumph Powder Blue, and clear coated. Decals from the spares box. Tks for looking. Dave B

Tks one and all for your comments, I really enjoyed building this. Dave B

Hi Charlie, Sent you a pm, hope that's ok otherwise yes, you can send a self addressed envelope and I'll reply Dave

Ok, I've finished the salt lake racer but have yet to post 'under glass' so I've started on the 2E. This is a nice file but needs lots of work as usual. Front end and engine detail is really good and it deserved the rear of the body cutting off to reveal it. I've put in about 30 hours so far and a lot more to do to get the nose sitting properly and the interior to fit. Loving it!! Dave B

Nice Ken. Did you draw the file or procure it? Dave B

Hi Ken, this will be good, partly because it's 3D printed and secondly because the Bocar's are an obscure vehicle. I enjoy building 3D printed. I have a couple of books that have articles on Ken's cars. Dave B

This is going to make my Cox slot car conversion to full detail look pretty ordinary!! Go for it. Dave B

Great looking build William and I like some of the hidden detail i.e. disc rotors. Dave B

And different, should be interesting. Dave B

Looks good Thomas, tks for posting. Dave B

Hi Andrew, I haven't followed this thread for a while and given I love Maserati's I'm not sure why. I love that most of your construction is in styrene and this should inspire me to try harder on some of my future resin kits. Tks Dave

Another magnificent build Claude. Dave B

Good luck with this James, you're off to a great start. Dave B

Chassis is finished, the wheels are square to the chassis just the phone doesn't show that!! The body now just needs finishing. Dave B

Still a work in progress and still fluid. Have shortened the driver access panel and have made fuel tank and water tanks, no radiator. Still to be finished in aluminium, attached and plumbed. Happy with front end, at least it's realistic. Tks for your support folks. Dave B PS, wheels/tyres will be squared up prior to finishing and not at odd angles!!

Looking great Helmut, I hope Pattos decals work out. I use them frequently but they do need lots of solvent (Microset and Microsol are good) for compound curves. Dave B

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
