Matt Bacon Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) The next in the series, pairing the Auto-Kits period white metal kit with an Immense Miniatures Graham Hill driver figure to recreate an Eagle comic cover painted by Roy Cross in 1962. And in place on the display base to reproduce the magazine cover: I'll have to wait for weather to improve to try and take a picture of them all together -- that needs to happen outside! best, M.

Earl Marischal Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Excellent work. Excellent car. Excellent driver. steve 1
1959scudetto Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Matt, this is great - Graham looks very real, too. I followed your WIP and liked what you did. Will be there more in your Roy Cross tribute series? 1
Matt Bacon Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 (edited) @1959scudetto Oh yes… I’ve been prioritising the ones built from Classic British kits for display, but there are definitely more to be done. Genuine CBKs are the Auto Kits Alfa P3 and Lotus 25, the Western Models Mercedes W125, the Maserati 4CLT from Merit, and the Matchbox Auto Union Type D (in 1/32). But if I spread my net wider, I can do the 1963 Leader Card Watson Roadster from AMT, the 1930 Bentley and Talbot Lago from Heller, and the Healey 3000 from Revell… best, M.

Matt Bacon Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 Managed to get outside to take some pictures of them all together... best, M. 1
Kolu Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Wonderful , I think my Finecast B.R.M. came with two options for the rear body, stackpipe or low. 1
Rich Chernosky Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Matt...after finishing my first Autokit I understand how tough these are to do. You did very well and the driver figure just makes it even better. Your WIP was great too and it will help me greatly with mine. Thanks for putting it up and keep up with all the great work. Very much enjoyed. 1

Yes, I think there was an issue where they did that. Hopefully, it also came with clear instructions describing what has to be removed from which parts if you decide to do the low exhaust option, and two full sets of clearly marked exhaust pipes! best, M.
Dave B Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Another great build Matt and tks for the pic of them all together. Dave B 1
