Cool. Nice work.

Sometimes the quick and dirty approach is the most fun(p.s.turn the radiator ornament around).

Noticed that too. I saw it in the pic and went, oops, brain freeze. I really just wanted something quick and dirty to try the disc wheels on

Up on the tires now to do some detailing and painting

Cool wheels!

Were they resin, 3D printed, scratchbuilt??

This is a neat lil' buggy, looking forward to seeing the final product.

They are 3D printed plastic I used for checking the size. I am having some printed in brass to use as masters for offering resin cast ones. These are just the trial ones

 

i dont like how the seat came out plus it’s too far back. Also my kit was missing the steering wheel so I am looking to cobble something together but it is fun. A lot of these T racers were made in the back yard and some used cut down 55 gallon oil drums as seats with some padding added

I have extra steering wheels if you need one. Just PM me your address and I'll send you one.

Looks cool, are you going to leave it monotone, or do detail painting on it?

[jaxenro]

Detail painting and some racing numbers

Coming along nicely Joel.

For Period Racing numbers, look at WW1 Airplane Decal sheets. You can find some nice vintage style numbers on certain decal sheets. Look for Sopwith Camel or SE-5A sheets.

[jaxenro]

They work. I have a sheet of 1/35 WWII Russian armor numbers dry transfers I use also. They look sort of slapped in with a stencil

Those Dry Transfers are perfect on Flat Black Primer. There are some great Bucket Seats in the AMT 1907 Thomas Flyer kit. I've got spares if you want some.

Thanks. I think I will let this one go but I might take you up on it in the future
