Just a quick build of the Jimmy Flintstone Porsche 550A body. The casting is very nice and comes with the floor pan incorporating seats. Everything else, head lights, tail lights, etc., are from the parts box. Tks for looking Dave B

Very nice clean build Jurgen, congrats Dave B

Thanks all for the kind words. AFX - yes, the presentation is probably better than "in period" although Frank Harrison's (chassis # 4510) always looks well presented in the period photos Larry - the kit came with nice resin wire wheels but the photo etched are nicer!! Skip - 1/24th scale Dan - love the 50' & 60's sports racers, see attached pics. Mostly restored Merit kits but there ia also a Lindberg 'D' type, Fisher Cunningham and chinese toy Lotus Elevens. Thanks again Dave B

Pretty much a box stock build of the Historic Racing Miniatures 450S. I have added the Hasegawa photo etched wire wheels (the hardest part of the build was assembling these!!), added some internal chassis tubing in the cockpit and the filler caps to the rear deck. Harold did a nice job modelling a generic 450S for the price. It is curbside only but a LOT cheaper than the ProFil 24 release. Thanks for looking Dave B

Nice builds Ray. Dave B

Nice build afx. When is someone going to build the "flip top" 427. Could be a project for you in the future. Dave B

I know it has already been said but, a "shooting brake", wish I had thought of it!! Well done. Dave B

Unusual model, tks for sharing. Dave B

Nice build Ray, quite different with the silver wheels. Dave B

Paul, that is impressive. Congrats! Dave B

Nice build Chris. Dave B

Tks for the kind words folks. Roger, I just went to the auto shop and asked for pure yellow, the tin says M07. Speedfreak, it's just Fujimi's MkII but with numbers by Patto. It's not quite the correct yellow for Frank's car but I thought it looked OK aesthetically. Just had to spray the stripes Tks again Dave B.

Basically a stock build but, being an Aussie, I have painted it as Frank Gardner's highly unsuccessful Le Mans attempt. Tks for looking. Dave B

Nice build of an unusual subject. Tks for showing Jurgen. Dave B.

Great idea and build. Nice to see Dan's first race car instead of an Eagle, Cobra, etc. Dave B

Great build Chris, how lucky you were to have bought it when they were available!! Dave B

Nice build Nice, well done. Dave B

Hi folks, tks for the kind words. I'll try and answer all your questions. Rex, the early version is Mini Exotics, the later one I converted from a coupe. I have seen a CMA transkit, it is better than mine but I could not locate one. Brian, the 350 was converted from a Heller P4 coupe using plans from Model Racing Replica News. I did cheat a little and cast the snorkels and screen in resin using a Patto's vacform. I then modified the snorkels and vaçformed a screen. Helmut, I made a mould for the screen out of MDF, coated it in fibreglass then vacformed it. Mark, yes I cast the manifold and used that as well. Dave B

Sorry for the delay, couldn't get Photobucket pics uploaded, senior moment Dave B

Just a few pics of both my versions, the second being converted from a coupe some years ago Tks again Dave B

From zero to hero, the initial and final iterations. I have just completed building Mini Exotics transkit for the initial Can-Am version of X 1. No a fun kit to build but I am happy with the outcome. I had to make up the windshield and surround as the kit came with the full spyder windscreen. Also had to grind out about 1/4" of resin from the rear to open the exhaust and grille outlets. Also used resin 48mm side draft webers from the GS Corvette. Thanks to my mate Phil for the blue side stripes, the kit came with black ones. Thanks for looking Dave B

Nice build Dan and an unusual colour, for a Muira. I take it you started with the Hasegawa SV and used the standard Muira wheels? Dave B

Nice build Mitch, I built it so long ago I think mine is sprayed in enamel. Dave B

Nice build Dann, something really different. Dave B

Nice build Harry Regards Dave B
