1/8 Scale Racecar Chassis Update


Recommended Posts

Latest good development is finding this out.

Yes.Can use Lindberg 1/8 scale drivetrain parts.

Can glue them together with Elmer's white glue.

When done building scale chassis.Soak them in hot water to remove all glue and

put them back in kits they came from.

That removed a big old stumbling block from this project.

Still working on final dimensions and general layout.

BODY UPDATE

Did get the Van Aken Grey Plastilina 4.5 lb block of clay.

Thinking on body shape/design.

For what it's worth, you might find you'll get people to reply if you would post actual pictures of what you're working on.  You caught my attention with the original post and headline,  and now I'm just shaking my head wondering what's the point.   Not trying to stir the pot or get the moderators attention, just stating the obvious.

' now I'm just shaking my head wondering what's the point. '

Gee.Sorry about that.

Ordering the basswood strips WAS THE UPDATE.

Don't know how I'm supposed to take pictures of that.

A selfie with the laptop ordering from Hobbylinc?

Sounds kind of weird that anybody would want to see that.

I'm stumped.

How about a detailed description of your workshop?  Or how does your neighborhood look?  After all, since you giving us detailed play-by-play (or is it stick-by-stick?) details of your build (including the raw materials you're ordering), why not tell us more about where it is all taking place. And I'm sure somebody will find a photo of that 4.5 lb block of clay very intereting. :D
