PatW Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Just completed this over the last week or so, built box stock other than paint and home grown decals. Found the chassis/frame to be a bit flimsy so de-chromed it and laid it up on a sheet of plasticard for strength and painted it Plasti-Kote metalic Red. and then finished the build-up.

PatW Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks guys, it took a lot of time to get each piece right, chassis, engine,interior, body, bubble top and boot flap. All needed work to get to fit square and level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Hi Dann thanks for your comments. I certainly think that the buttercup yellow i've used on this better than the pink that is suggested!I have 3 left........... a Trantula dragster, the Monogram Garbage truck with the surfboards, and a model T rod with trailer. The rest (60) are boring production saloons and sportscars and a few trucks/vans and rally/race cars.Nothing really that I can modify, I can perhaps camo some. I looked at an old kit of a Ford GT40 Le Mans car. It's supposed to be a light coloured body plus period decals and it's been moulded in gloss black plastic!! I was thinking of putting it on 20" and 21" Centrelines and making it a road car?Anyway I've got the Trantula kit out today in yucky green, de-chromed it, painted some of it Satin Black and I'm looking at my stash of my self printed decals,(Camo/Surf/Race) as far as that I don't know! But I may wake up around 4 or 5 in the morning with some thoughts/ideas! So I better take a pencil and paper to bed tonight.I was also lookig at one of our race series here called Time Attack where the car does just one sprint lap against the clock, interesting as most of them are production cars but are heavily modified with big wings front and back, like some they use on Pikes Peak, so that's another idea, swimming around in there.

Love your idea with the GT40!, You are definitely not alone when it comes to building a car YOUR way I tend to do it ALL the time!, In fact, I would bet that Purists secretly cant stand my work when I do things like im doing right now: turning a Fujimi Porsche 917 into a road car, with carpeting and a second seat!! Love the work, and the choices you make -keep it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
