Hi Dave, I have spoken to my mate that did the body for me and he has no intention of marketing commercially, sorry. Tks Rich, it's coming along nicely, have been going through my resin box and gathering generic bits for it. Hardest part was the front wheels and tyres but still being into 1/32 slot cars I made them out of Fly Ferrari 512 rear wheels and my mate cast some urethane tyres. Size is spot on according to Pete Lyons Shadow book. Have to cut the struts of the rear wing and angle inwards but won't do this until I have done the chassis and mounted the gearbox as this is where the struts will mount to. Have ordered 2 sets of decals from Patto to get most of what is required. Finally happy with the finish on the body, wouldn't know it came off a filament printer!! Tks for looking. Dave B

Undoubtedly they will be great builds William, nothing less is expected of you!! What brand is the grey body, the 2A with the 2C style rear wing? Dave B

Hi Bill, looking good, colour wise my understanding is Wyer used Triumph Powder Blue. It is a '50s TR3 colour. Dave B

Great build Salih. Love the real thing and your model looks the part. Dave B

My mate has just given me a Shadow Mk11 off his new 3D filament printer. It included the rear engine cover, but this has printed inside out, cross over injection with the rear wing yet to come. It needs a fair bit of work around the back panels and rear wheel arches but the body is generally a lot better than the March 707 he gave me. I have already sourced the correct front, with a bit of work, and rear wheels and tyres having checked the size in Pete Lyons great book on Shadow, and cast my generic interior. I will start work on the body shortly and make a styrene rear engine cover, if necessary. Hoping my mate can work out why it printed inside out!! Won't be posting any more on this for a while as the body will take some time getting up to scratch. Dave B

Looks good Bruce, blue is very hard to photograph. Dave B

Oops, missed one. You now have a very nice collection William, congratulations. Dave B

It's nice to see one in a different paint scheme, nice build William. Dave B

Great builds William, nice to see the pancake hood on Jim Hall's car. Dave B

Tks Phil, it is 1/24th scale. Dave B

Have all but finished the body my mate printed for me on his cheap 3D filament printer, lucky for me he has just bought a new state of the art printer, but it is still filament. I'm just waiting on 2 more decals for the sides but thought I would post it anyway. Had a lot of fun making a 'kit' out of it. Went through my resin parts box for all the pieces and made a buck so I could vacform a windscreen. Finished in auto acrylic and Patto's decals. Tks for looking. Dave B

That is a nice pick up Rex, looking forward to seeing that built. Dave B

Looks the part Daniel, well done. Dave B

Looks good to me Bruce, I am not looking forward to doing my Tamiya kit for the self same reasons!! Think i will stick to doing the odd scratch built, it's easier!! Dave B

Tks guys, Rich yours looks good even though it is a basic kit. My decals have arrived so should be finished over the next couple of weeks. My mate has just bought a brand new printer and has promised me a Shadow MkII body so may be in a position to post the bare body in a few weeks. Better start going through my bits for wheels, etc. Dave B

Just waiting on Patto's decals to decide the final livery. In the meantime I'll keep working on my scratchbuilt Cox bodied Cheetah and a Maserati 8CTF. Tks for looking. Dave B

Always enjoy seeing your Cobras William, another great build. Dave B

Great build William, as I may have said before, at least there are only six of them!! Dave B

Looks really good Steve, I only hope my Tamiya kit comes our as well. Dave B

Great build Larry, it really looks the part. Dave B

That is an exceptionally neat and clean build Larry, congratulations. Dave B

Looks great Kurt, nice to see some pre war racers. Dave B

That's very effective Tim, would it look any better sitting on the shelf if it wasn't a curbside, that would be no. Dave B

Looks good Rich, love the lights. You can make basic kits look really effective with a bit of work and you nailed it. Dave B

A mate of mine has his 3D printer up and running, not a resin printer unfortunately, and he surprised me with this 1/24th body. It has taken a lot of work to get to here as the curves are rather segmented. I searched through my resin parts box and came up with a suitable manifold and tyres (Accurate Miniatures McLaren), wheels (Eagle Indy car), injectors (apparently shoe ferrules), gearbox (Fujimi GT40) and interior (who knows?). It will never be perfect but it will be different and look OK in my display cabinet. Tks for looking. Dave B
