A build inspired by a really bad kit: the Eidai Miura, labeled as 1/24 scale, but really about 1/29. Also, I started with a glue bomb. I decided this was really a model of the incredibly rare Miurette kit car, a fiberglass shell for a VW chassis. (Don't search for Miurette; I'm making this up.) Since the Miurette company didn't want to chance being sued by Lamborghini, they changed the design a little: one piece (plus doors), no B pillar intakes, no pop-up headlights (all making it cheaper as well). The windshield was from the Avanti (no 0.85 Miura windshields available), requiring a change to the A pillars. To cool the VW engine, ventilation was added behind the rear glass (a flat piece). That's my back story; now some photos. The wheels and tires are my cast resin from modifying the two part wheels with the old Revell Porsche 356, the chassis pan my copy of the Revell Beetle, the engine, suspension pieces and seats from a built-up Revell dune buggy. A few of my molds are shown in the last photo. The fan belt is made from aluminum tape (actual aluminum).

New build, mostly my own resin castings. I'm showing a lot of the false starts, so please be patient. First approach: Jag fenders, 49 Ford hood, 46 Chevy top. After some work, decided to mold entire Jag body - will make slice and dice easier. Thought I'd use my resin copy of a Camaro chassis. Started modifying it. Hmm . . . Nose too heavy, so went with modified 300 SL nose and hood. New starting parts (and water-cooled flat six): Getting there . . .
