Ford C100 Group C
Dave B replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
I've got the interior and cage where I want them now I have started on the rest. I've cut the part of the diffuser that was attached to the rear body panel and started to make one. Not included in the download file. Also have the glass moulds from Phil so they have been coated in epoxy, sanded down and I've vacformed the headlight glass and side windows. Dave B -

Sorry Pierre, no he doesn't sell them, I'm just lucky he's been my mate for 60 years!! What does that tell you. Dave B -

Great build Matt, I must show your build to my mate, his doesn't have the detail of yours. Dave B -

Looking good Pierre, looking forward to getting my 3D printed DB4 Zagato. Phil should have the file by now. Dave B -
Absolutely stunning, I saw these race at Longford in Tassie, how lucky was I down this end of the world!! Dave B

Wow, this is looking really good. I cheated and backcast one in resin but without the detail you are going to apply. Dave B -
1965 Shelby GT350R
Dave B replied to Phildaupho's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
That's another great build from you Phil, the extra extra effort was really worth it. You must have quite a collection by now. Dave B -
This is my take on the Alan Mann Racing F3L/P68. I've built it as the version driven by Frank Gardner that blitzed the field in qualifying for the Spa round of the 1968 World Sportscar Championship. Frank put it on pole 5 seconds faster than the next quickest qualifier. In the race it rained and only lasted 1 lap before the electrics failed. What this car could have achieved with more input from Ford we will never know. Built from a 3D file and heavily modified to reflect the actual car. Finished in auto acrylic plain red and a nice bright gold, clear coated and polished. The decals are a combination of my spares, Patto's and my mate Phil, who also printed the body. Tks for looking Dave B

Because of the detail that would have been hidden I decided to separate the rear engine cover. Adding a little extra detail will be easier as I have contacted the current custodians of C100-004 and they are going to send me a few pics shortly. Hope I've got the radiators right!! I'll be modifying otherwise. Dave B -
That's a beautiful build Michael, tks for posting. Dave B

That's a nice clean build Allison, welcome. Dave B

Ok, made the wheels. Rims are some I cast in resin some time back, centres are from an old Japanese kit but with the back sanded away so you can see through the spokes and tyres are resin printed from the file. As they have turned out reasonable I've decided to open up the engine bay. It won't be hinged, just lift off. My mate has printed the glass moulds for the P68 so until I get them off him I'll work on this. Dave B -
Alan Mann Racing F3L/P68
Dave B replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Tks Helmut, I always use auto acrylics, the red is just pure red and the gold a mate gave me because I asked for some!! It's a lovely bright gold, he gave me about 250ml, said he didn't want it anymore. Dave B -

Getting there. Still waiting on the glass moulds so I can clean them up and vacform. Also have to add exhausts, some minor ancillaries, clean up body, clear coat and polish. Dave B -
