My avatar, 1/10 SOLO single seat vehicle

[Ace-Garageguy]

This is a 1/10 scale, 100% scratch-built model of an original design for a 1:1 vehicle. Info on the real one is available here.........

The model was built like a Guillows model airplane with balsa ribs cut out, held together with basswood stringers, and planked with balsa. It was then fiberglassed and surface-finished with bondo. Paint is Geo Metro white acrylic urethane, and the blue is Ford dark engine blue rattle-can, polished.

This is the full-scale model under construction. It's built much the same as the little model, but urethane foam is the material rather than balsa.
