  1. Have just finished my Bob Jane Elfin. I cast this from an old slot car mould and made up the unique wheels to go with it. Nothing fancy here, the complete model comprises either aluminium, plastruct or cast resin pieces. It's only taken me around 10 years to complete, kept loosing enthusiasm!! It now completes my Aussie sports cars which comprise the Matich SR3, Elfin Traco Olds and Ferrari 350. Tks for looking Dave B

    Chaparral 2H

    Have just finished my resin slush mould of Mini Exotics 2H. A mate managed to pic up a unbuilt version and offered it to me so, being lazy, I took a quick silicon of the body and a one piece mould of a front and rear wheel/tyre assembly and a resin of the windscreen. I've never tried a 2 piece mould, maybe I should one day!! Anyway, after scratch building the rear wing and supports, front spoilers, interior, body deflectors and deepening the side NASA vents I have finally finished it. I used MCG Dzus fasteners and luckily had a set of Fred Cady Chaparral decals spare in the decal box. It's not perfect and doesn't reflect any particular event however it's nice to complete my Chappie collection. Tks for looking Dave B
  4. Great build Phil, congratulations!! Have a few of the Tamiya sports car bodies to build, if my T70 turns out half as well I'll be rapt Dave B
  5. Jurgen, a phenomenal build of one of my favourite cars. Regards Dave B
  6. Excellent build Larry. Inside the exhausts could be a matt dark grey perhaps? Dave B
  7. Hi Jack, It's a slush resin taken off the Mini Exotics kit. Regards Dave B
  8. Tks all. I will post all my Chappy's when I finish the 2H Dave B
  9. Just a few pics of my latest Chaparral build. This brings it too a total of 5 Chappy's with 1 more to go, excluding my slot car versions. Not bad for a Ford guy!! Thanks for looking Dave B
  10. Nice build Steve Dave B
  11. Nice build of a difficult kit Steve Dave B
  12. Hi Phil, I'll be watching this one with interest as I have a few of the Tamiya body kits to build as statics. Happy building. Dave B
  13. Great build Bruce, a set of photo etched wires would really set it off!! Dave B
  14. Nice builds Phil, particularly like the black roadster Dave B
  15. Great build of a spectacular kit Karsten Dave B
  16. Nice build Larry, looks great Dave B
  17. Yes, except for the decals on both Nissan and Toyota Dave
  18. Tks for the kind words lady & gents. The intake stacks are just stock kit heavy chrome plated plastic. Dave B
  19. Stock build of the Otaki Nissan R382 Gp 7 sports car. It is really just a toy (batteries not included) but builds into a reasonable curbside and is a different subject. Thanks again to my mate Phil for the decals. Last pic includes Otaki's Toyota 7, another Japanese Gp 7 sports car. Also forgot the seatbelt, will do it tonight!! Tks for looking Dave B
  20. Great build of a different subject Art. Dave B
  21. Tks again for the kind words one and all Dave B
  22. That is a great build, congratulations. Dave B
  23. Tks all. Steve, I was lucky as I happened to have all the pieces in the parts box however I would think the old Revell Porsche Speedster would make a great donor. If you had one and didn't want to use it as a donor maybe you have a mate that could mould and resin cast the wheels, tyres and headlight buckets. The buckets were the hardest, I was just lucky, not even sure what kit they came from Dave B
  24. That is a nice build Brian, I assume it is Tamiya? Dave B
