Jay Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Built for Dan Binks, the crew chief on the #3/#73 Corvette that won Le Mans in 2011. I mastered the body and had it cast by Celtic Works. The wheels were designed by Mike Lawrence and printed by Shapeways. The build utilizes the Revell Corvette ZR1 and Scale Motorsports Trans kit. The paint is Velocity Yellow topped with 2 part urethane. The decals are from Patto's and other misc. sheets I had lying around.
iBorg Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 That is so over the top sweet..... If you make a kit available, please PM me.
acmiaz Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Couldn't begin to tell you how cool this build is.
shucky Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 That is simply amazing! Love the paint. Incredible looking build and pictures.
kilrathy10 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Nice work...These cars always come out good....Whatever you guys are doing, keep it up....
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 That is one seriously impressive piece of work. Just beautiful. What material / resolution are the wheels printed in ?
sportandmiah Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Awesome! I wasnt aware SM did a transkit...was it the one with the kit included?
IMSANUT Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 That is so over the top sweet..... If you make a kit available, please PM me. Me too!!! If not, are the body and wheels available from the vendors you mentioned?
IMSANUT Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Outstanding model. Looks very good and proof positive that clear coat can look real!
Jay Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks everyone! The SMS kit I used was for the GT1 C6.R... some pieces are interchangeable. I had a run of bodies for sale, but they sold out quickly and interest seemed to die out. For anyone going to the NNL East tomorrow, the completed model will be there. Also, Mike from Powerslide Decals will have a few of the bodies to sell. Get there early if you want one!
IMSANUT Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Wished I could be there to get one, but that isn't happening......

jarutherford41 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Hi Jay. I just bought the scale motorsports c6r kit, which is a great kit, but, I'm noticing a few things I would need to change to build the 2013 version (60th anniversary). First off, I noticed that the body needs much larger fender flairs, and the intake is different on the newer cars. While doing some research for this car (and kit), I found your post on here. I absolutely love the car you built. The body looks much better than the kit body. I checked with Mikes Decals, but they seem to be out of stock, and I was wondering you are considering making another run on these bodies. I would really love to buy one if you do. Thanks.
