chris4q Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 This is a beautiful slot car body kit from Germany in 1/24 scale. It was produced by Karl Heinz Hornberg. I had a great time painting this car. I pinned the etched wing parts with rivets. This will keep everything together if it comes off the track. I glued the front windshield in and used rivets (no glue) to hold the side windows in along with the headlight lens. This will help big time with not poping the windows. I highly recommend Karl Heinz Hornberg slot body kits.
Terry Jessee Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 In-CRED-ible!!! You're not really going to RACE that, are you???? Beautiful. Terry

chris4q Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 that's what it was built for brothers. I've put a lot of clear on this car so it will hold up. I think the key is not to come off the track Thanks for the kind comments lads...

skymnky721 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 The only thing missing is the key to turn the ignition and start it up!! lol it looks that real!
jbwelda Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 oh that is so excellent! that engine intake system is fantastic! do you machine your own chassis or is that off the shelf?
3men2s Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 AMAZING...THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFULL SLOT CAR I HAVE EVER SEEN
simonr Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Awesome build!..nothing less to say...Could you tell what yellow you used on? Simón P. Rivera Torres
george 53 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Wat can I say Chris, I'm not the ONLY one who enjoys/suffers your madness. But you must REALLY be madder'n ME, caz I don't build CLOSE to that! an it's a REAL SLOT CAR yet!!!! WOW, simply amazed at your work, THANKS for shareing it AND the link!!!!
W-409 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Very cool Slot Car! That engine looks good, even if it's only the top half. Paintjob and all of that bodywork looks good too.
Jairus Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) oh that is so excellent! that engine intake system is fantastic! do you machine your own chassis or is that off the shelf? The chassis is a kit made in Germany by "Motor Modern". It is totally adjustable so it will fit a variety of bodies. There is a whole hobby built up in Germany racing cars just as detailed as this Lola, (Although not as nicely as this one) and they race the snot out of them for one race. Concours first and then race. After-which the owner polishes up the winner and it goes onto the shelf. Damage happens but rarely. This is the chassis they use, but with faster motors of course. P.S. Beautiful work Chris, I see that you have pushed the bar higher yet again! Edited January 31, 2012 by Jairus
Erik Smith Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Wow. Excellent build. Very nice work. I love the photography too. I'm going to look at it some more.
surfjunke Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 That is a beautiful car & you did an awesome build on the kit. Love the detail work .
Modellpularn Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 It's a really beautiful slot car! My fellow countryman and racer Jo Bonnier used to race an identical car. On his car, the sponsor was BonGrip, instead of KenGrip. I think he had something to do with those tire studs, that we use in our winter tires. Yes I have studded tires on my car. So who's Ken anyway...?

Beautiful work Chris, I see that you have pushed the bar higher yet again! This is one of the chassis avaliable. I have one just like it in a Corvair. The really hot chassis is one from Slotracing Werk, made by Mattias Parke. It's made of brass and carbon fiber, and costs a bundle too. About 150 bucks! I attended a race last April just outside Stockholm, and those cars were incredibly fast! Here's a link to his website, showing the chassis I mentioned: http://www.slotracing-werk.de/scaleracing/rub1~Fahrwerke~rub2~Slotracing%20Werk%2CChassis~artnr~13231~func~det~wkid~10597842676103816.html Edited January 31, 2012 by Modellpularn
John R Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Did you use the kit tires? What did you use for wheels. I have one of the Lola Spyder kits from them and was thinking of building a curb side. Thanks John r

Thanks again the cool remarks
