Tks guys, your comments are appreciated. Dave B.

Looks great Nathan, a quality build. Dave B

Hi Phil, 1/24th scale from a hand carved wooden buck (by a mate) immersed in silicon and slush cast in resin with a vacform screen by me, I did make the wheels as well. I cut the 'horns' off to make #4. David B

My third, and final, Elfin 400 is my take on chassis "BB662" which I watched Frank Matich drive to victory in the 1966 Australian Tourist Trophy held at Longford in Tasmania. I have included a couple of pics of my other two. They are, #2 Frank Matich's Elfin 400/Traco Olds, #4 same car when owned by Neil Allen and referred to as the Elfin Traco Chev and #7 Bob Jane's Elfin 400 Repco. Had great fun building these ( and the Matich SR3R and Scuderia Veloce's Ferrari 250LM and 350 Can-Am). Thanks for looking. Dave B

Great build Phil, I too loved The Prisoner (Patrick McNee by memory). Hope she appreciates the thought!! Dave B

Tks all. Gary , yes Fujimi is the Modellers 2D. I have the disc, it's a pity one of the current model magazines couldn't do some articles in a similar vein as those that were in MRRN. Regards Dave B

Just a couple of group pics of my Chaparrals. They are, front to back, left to right: LS 2C; Monogram 2D, considerably modified and with resin wheels/tyres; Fujimi 2D; Fisher 2F; Slush resin 2H, body and wheels & tyres are based on Mini Exotics and the rest is scratch built; scratch built 2J, courtesy of plans from Model Racing Replica News, miss that mag!; and Accurate Miniatures GS Vette but with correct bonnet (lower bulge and no vents). I also have the Cox 2, 2D and mag frame 2E but as these are slot cars have not included them. Tks for looking Dave B

Nice build Benito, looks a little like Ulf Norinder's Swedish racing colours. This is how 3445GT is currently painted Regards Dave B

Tks folks, your comments are appreciated. Dave B

Great build Ismael. Love Fords but will probably never build that kit, just a bit too modern for me!! Dave B

Hi Bernard, no, I did a lot of work to the plug and put it into silicon. See " on the work bench" Dave B

Well I've finally finished my two Lister Knobbly's. They're only curbside but sit well with my other 50's sports racers. Having started with a single ratty fibreglass slot car body I'm pretty happy. The green and yellow car is my interpretation of Archie Scott-Brown's last win in a Lister before his first ever loss to another Lister, driven by Masten Gregory, then trying to stay ahead of Masten at Spa and crashing fatally. The burgundy car is a fictitious Chev powered American racer. Both are finished in auto acrylic. Tks for looking Dave B

Nice build Phil, I have one to do, they say copying is the sincerest form of flattery. Hope you don't mind! Dave B

Love the concept & build Brian, definitely out of square. Dave B

Looks great Larry, reminds me of a bugeye Sprite I saw up here a while back. Dave B

Very nice build Chris. Dave B

Looking good Bernard. Dave B

Nice build Larry, your 550 looks great Dave B

Done a little bit more to these. The bodies are not exactly 'square' but neither was the master!! Although they are curbside I am building one supposedly Jag powered with Dunlop wheels and the other Chevy with exhausts both sides, side louvres and kidney bean Halibrands. The Jag version will be a tribute to Archie Scott-Brown and the Chevy a fictitious American racer. I have removed the Weber bonnet scoop from the Chevy version. Hopefully they will look OK on the shelf. Tks for looking. Dave B

Tks for sharing Gary, another great build by Scott Dave B

That is a great build Paul, magnificent. Dave B

Hi Jason, these are a small car. According to "The Magnificent Front-engined Birdcages" by Oosthoek and Bollee the Type 60 and 61 both have a wheelbase of 88", front track 50", rear track 48", body length (standard) of 152", body width 60" and height 36". I built a couple a while back that I believe were based on the Aardvark body. The link is Regards Dave B

Great build Paul, tks for posting. Dave B
