Very impressive model of a very impressive car. Great photos too !!

This is a superb example of 3D print modelling. Fabulous looking race car.

Hi Steve - I saw the real car at the Sidney Car Show today. It is certainly a beauty as is your model. Wayne is going to be very impressed.

Thanks Gary,. I have to admit it looks pretty good sitting on my mantel as I write this. Thanks Dave - After reading your comment I counted up the models on display in my hobby room - 145 !! That means I have probably built at least 200 model cars since getting back in the hobby about 30 years ago !! Thanks Bruce Thanks Carl Thanks David

Hi John - I was surprised when I saw the date stamp that I built my 962 10 years ago.

Thanks Ricky - I am thankful for Tamiya spray paint making good results relatively easy Thanks Dennis Thanks Pierre - The vinyl I used for this application comes from Avery which is readily available. The preferred vinyl is the very thin products used by sign makers and car wrappers which can be more difficult to acquire unless you know someone in the business or you have access to their waste bins.

You have done an absolutely fantastic job and I am sure looking forward to seeing it in person.

Thanks for your comments. Glad you like it because I am very pleased to finally have it in my collection after all these years.

Great livery. Love the photos. Agree with your comments about Hasegawa 962's. I built one for a 24 Hour build and was very pleased with the results.

Awesome model. I would love to have it in my display case to examine closely.

This is the second time I have built a replica for the Brown Bros GT350R. The first time was for the original driver - Tom Hamilton. That led to me decaling about 75 1/18 diecasts sold to collectors. There is a very real chance that the livery on the restored car was based on the decals I made up for Tommy's model because he asked me to leave off the name of the other driver who only raced the car once but his name always remained on the original along with Tom Hamilton. Although my initial intention was to do a relatively simple build, I ended up doing virtually all the modifications to make it quite accurate. The real car was not sold by Shelby to Brown Bros. until 1967 and was raced extensively for the next two years. Apparently its next incarnation was as a street racer with a lace panel paint job! ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS BODY – Replaced molded wipers and door handles with separate ones from 64 Fairlane, removed emblems, front valance - covered round holes and cut in oval brake cooling openings, rear valance filled reverse light holes and added bumper mount holes, covered gas filler hole with thin styrene, made up R model side window frames, removed rear window trim, replaced grill with one from a stock 1966 GT350, added hood pins INTERIOR – dash modified by removing top pad, glove box door, radio and other surface detail, removed door panel upholstery and floor carpet detail, added slot for spare tire in rear bulkhead, added web belts for window raising & lowering, drilled out gauges and backed with reduced photo of actual gauges CHASSIS – Tubed rear wheelwells and narrowed rear track to get tires to fit within body, removed gas tank for separate painting, installed over rider traction bars ENGINE COMPARTMENT – Separated from body for separate painting, removed battery and platform, added an oil cooler ENGINE – Stock style chrome valve covers with extra breathers added PAINT – Tamiya Pure White over Racing White which does seem to give a bit of a Wimbledon White look DECALS - The side stripes by Fred Cady but the rest of the livery are my decals from art work done almost 20 years ago. The center stripes are metallic blue vinyl in keeping with the fact that back in the day Tommy Hamilton re-striped the car with reflective vinyl used on telephone booths.

Great looking delivery. I like this a lot. Well done.

Beautifully built model even more impressive being it was 3D printed

Very attractive Morgan. I just started working on mine today.

I just came across this and absolutely love it. Very well done. Brings back memories for sure.

As with many of the other replies beautiful is the description that first comes to mind. Beautiful photos of a beautiful model of a beautiful car !!

Beautiful Eldo Concept and extremely well built.

Thanks Jon Glad you like it Bill

Thanks Mario Thanks Oliver

The model was auctioned of this past weekend at the Jaguars on the Island event and brought in $190 for the Victoria Hospice. There was an E-Type at the concours that looked very much like the model.

Thanks. Appreciate your comments and glad you like it.

Thanks Carl - I always appreciate your comments

This is a very good looking Ferrari model. Please tell us more about it.

Thanks David. I was inspired by the Goodguys give away car from last year Thanks Bob Thanks Steve - The trend is sort of pro-touring hot rod !! the blacks are Tamiya - Gloss, Semi-Gloss and Matt. The blueishness most just be how the light hits it. Thanks Greg Thanks Bill Thanks Donato Thanks Larry Thanks Chris

That is one awesomely tough looking Deuce. Well built.
