Dave B Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Love Cheetahs and was lucky enough to be given a Cox slot car body with a broken, and missing, roof. As I had a set of Fred Cady Cro-Sal decals what better than to build the only 'spyder' Cheetah. Pretty straight forward build as it is only a curbside, the most difficault part being finding enough period photo's to get the model to reasonably reflect the real thing. I'm sure no two scratch built Cro-Sal's are the same around the rear end!!! Anyway, thanks for looking. More pics to follow Dave B
Dave B Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 A few more pics, sorry!!! Put to shame by some of the fully detailed coupes that are around, maybe I'll finish mine one day Dave B
Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Yes, I like the model, and I also love the backdrop you use in the photos. Nice combination of elements, great photos.
TheCat Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 That's an awesome looking build. Love the background. Is that background a Resin Diorama Display?
Draggon Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I love all Cheetahs, and this one is a favorite. Great job on saving it!
Dave B Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Love the background. Is that background a Resin Diorama Display? Tks for the comments guys, appreciated. No it's just printable scenery glued flat onto mdf. The base is 'asphalt' & 'grass' and the background wall 'brick' Dave B
