Mazda MX5 driftcar

[Lowlife ! !]

 

My son is mad on these cars, and drifting, so i bought him drift lessons in one !

Thought for xmas id build him a replica of him drifting , with a little base to go with it...

Started with the Tamiya Eunos Roadster kit, because it came with a hard top.

The suspension was lent over on one side, and the front wheels fitted on full lock to simulate sliding...

Driver is a Scalextric figure, cut about so he could hold the wheel, and look in the right direction !

Smoke is just cotton wool with ground up pepper !

I just got it finished in time, and he loved it !! 

Thanks for looking....

Very nice, great little diorama.

That is very cool. The car model is nicely built and the whole scene looks like fun. Good looking tire “smoke”.

[Cool Hand]

Indeed a very cool build, great idea well executed.

Can see why your lad loves it.

Oh ya Martin, that is super cool. Awesome idea. Building for friends, relatives, or loved ones is very rewarding. I’ve done builds for my dad, mom, and daughter, definitely some of my favourite projects. The “smoke” looks the part, and pepper for rubber flying is brilliant.

Cheers, Steve

That sure looks the part. Miatas are great cars. I've owned 1:1s and will own at least one more some day.
