Lister Knobbly Jaguar 1/24 scratchbuild

[kensar]

This model depicts the prototype 1958 Lister Jaguar that was purchased by Briggs Cummingham and driven to the 1958 SCCA championship by Walt Hansgen in the C modified class.  There were no models of this car in 1/24, so I made the body out of Renshape polyurethane foam, which was then covered with fiberglassing resin.  The wheels are from Ukraine Scale Car Production and the running gear is from a Revell XKSS which is based on the Jaguar D type.  Of course I also made a number of scratchbuilt details.

Beautiful Jaguar.  Very well done.

Absolutely excellent model, Ken - fantastic (I followed your WIP) !

[Rich Chernosky]

Some impressive modeling skills there Ken.  Not many of us have the guts to take a block of anything and turn it into a model.  And have it turn out to be as sweet as this. Congrats.

A lot of great work in this, well done.

Impressive work.

Scratchbuilding extraordinaire. The whole process of carving the body from Renshape was a feat in itself but then looking into the details is what makes this replica so real looking. The aluminium interior panels (especially the seat backs), the integration of the XKSS chassis elements, the windshield fabrication with the real fasteners, I could go on and on, it all looks so special.

Anybody noticed the air scoops on top of the rear fenders? Perfectly in scale. Wow!

Looks great!

Totally missed this one Ken. Awesome work again and the scratch building is amazing to say the least. 

Did you finish the GT40 and I missed that too?  It's tough to get old and forgetful.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments.  I hope you were able to pick up some ideas to improve your building skills as sharing ideas is what these forums are all about.

I am a bit surprised at how quickly this got done.  I usually takes me 6-8 weeks to build an injection molded kit and this one was built from scratch.

Having followed this on WIP that's a great build Ken, congratulations.

Oh boy had you cast this in resin I would have bought at least one!!

[Gramps46]

Very well done indeed.  The choice of the Cunningham livery is special.
