brett Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 newer tool revell body on top sportsman chassis with resin funnycar engine mated to the top sportsman lenco tried making carbon fibre stickers I guess out of tamiya tape and paint ,they're a bit thick and the patterns a bit faint in places but for something that'll hardly be seen it may be alright.(Try and get better pic tomorrow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 decided I could do better so pulled the homemade fibre off. Made the rear wing and painted the front of the frame. While waiting for that to dry mocked it up on another "built" chassis to check the ride hight. Heres how it sits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks guys, well despite the three or four or more hours put into this you probably wont even see it . I'd cut nearly all the way through the sides of the car then straightened them to remove some of the curve under the body, otherwise they cut right into the slick . Its actually widened the body by about 4 or 5 mm each side at the bottom. Started on the blower shroud /cowl and put the fins on the wing. Primed and touched up the filler then sanded just before these pics, which dont show much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADmodelDOCTOR Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Looking real nice. Keep it going. Maybe a solid lime stripe would work on the flames. later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoncamaro Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Brett this is looking great where do you get the resin engine from or do you cast your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Thanks man, most of this one is from a guy in the petrolheads club, I have cast my own but cant do a pour till I get some new resin (hopefully in a couple of weeks). Then I'll only have to get hats off him. And no I didnt copy his stuff I modified some kit stuff from a funnycar.hes way to nice a guy to rip off and he taught me most of what I know about casting.

brett Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 only a little progress at the moment, got the interior stuff made up bottles, dash and belts not going to detailed with this as nobody will see much of the interior with the doors closed.
