Nice clean build Jason. Regards Dave B

Tks all, appreciate the kind words. Dave B

Some time back I was lucky enough to be given an old scale vac form body of this car, see On The Workbench and the subject title is Lola GT Mk VI (Mecom version) Anyway using 0.040" styrene I peaked the nose and vacformed new sills as they were both flat to allow the slot car body to come off the pattern. I finished in auto acrylic and used VRM Mecom Corvette Grand Sport decals. I know it is not correct and in this body configuration it never ran as #2 but I am rather pleased with it. It is basically a curbside with motor for the quad cross over webers and a rather amateurish rear suspension visible under the rear glass. It has completed a gap in my Ford GT collection. Thanks for looking Dave B

Great build Janne, come on summer!! Dave B

Phil, these look great, tks for sharing. Dave B

Nice build Jason. Is your next red car a 1/12 MFH P4? Dave B

Hi Shawn, fantastic building of a true Aussie Falcon. Brings back memories as some years back I owned a biege 4.1 S pack!! Makes my scratch building look positively utilitarian. All the best Dave B

Tks guys, Yes Jason it is the Tamiya kit Dave B

Just a couple of pics of my take on Bob Jane's ATCC winning 4.2L Mk11 Jag. Tks for looking

Pics re-posted Craig. Regards Dave B

Great build Phil, congratulations ☺ Dave B

Great builds Peter. I also converted the Fujimi coupe into the Sebring winning Spyder some years back using Cady decals and vac forming the screen. Tks for showing Dave B

Hi guys. Bill, as this is a slush mould I have no plans to do any more, sorry. Aurf, you should give casting a try, I'm lazy and my silicon moulds are all one piece but works for me!! Also back casting into an old slot car body is easy, just this body had had fibreglass in it before so it wasn't kind to me. Give it a try ☺ Dave B

Hi Guys, I don't usually post to the workbench but thought I might share my latest project. I have always liked the Lola Mk VI but think the Mecom version (the Mk VI on steriods) looks great so when I was given an old slot car body I did what any keen modeller would do and decided to backcast it in resin. I then took a resin of the glass areas and vacformed them. Next it was into the parts box for various resin pieces to start the build. As this could take me a LONG time I won't post again until complete. Tks for looking

Jurgen, magnificent as usual. Dave B

TOUGH, and I'm a Ford guy!! Dave B

Hi Brian, so sorry to hear about Ed. We pm'd a lot over my Chaparral builds and I wondered why there was no comment on my 2H!! Now I know. Kind regards Dave B

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words Dave B

Great build Joao, love sports cars of this era. Tks for posting ☺ Dave B

Tks guys. Ricky, they are 1/24. Curt, you are correct, a mate pulled a couple for me from his unbuilt Aardvark kit. Dave B

I love Maserati's and when I was able to pick up 2 body/chassis pans and 2 sets of resin tyres I could not refuse!! I had to make the windscreen mould and vacform them but everything else required (Herb Deeks photo etched wires, styrene rod for chassis, seats, steering wheels etc where in the parts boxes). I decided to model chassis number 2467, originally sold to Frank Harrison (driven by Carrol Shelby), and subsequently crashed at the Bahamas Speed Week,. It was then sold less engine to Don Skogmo who fitted a Hilborn injected 4.7L Ford motor and had considerable success in regional races. This is my interpretation of 2467, I know neither is exact!! Tks for looking Dave B

Great build Matt, tks for showing ☺ Dave B

Jurgen, you are an artiste ☺ Dave B

Once again tks all☺ Richard, only a box mounted under the body housing a resin intake and Weber's from the Corvette Grand Sport. Tks for your comments. Dave B

Tks all for the kind words. Alan, The rear engined Scarab first raced in Sept '62 and last raced in Nov '65. It was powered by the BPO alloy V8 (Oldsmobile in this case) and ran quad 48mm DCO sidedraft webers. The decals are courtesy of a mate of mine and the wheels and tyres are from my parts box. They are both resin, I'm pretty sure the wheels are minilites, not exactly correct but look OK and the tyres are as you commented Indy Firestones. Once again they look OK, even if not strictly correct. Dave B
