If you know of Helenwheels8 (http://www.hellonwheels8.com/), they are planning to do the body (both with and without the spats) and I'm tracking down 1/20th and 1/24th decals to be reduced....

Hey Montoya, I already had Patto reduce the Tamiya model Minolta and Taka-Q decals for HO. Check his site.

'doba

really?
I always find his site a drag to look through, so much stuff and never quite sure where to look (M for Minolta, T for Toyota for example) - do you have a link?

Still need to get some Denso decals ordered and sent though.

I have the original Tamiya 1/24th Taka-Q decal sheet if you need it ?

Patto does HO already I have just discovered (thanks Doba).
The one we really need is the Denso car, keep an eye out for Studio 27 decals.

videojimmy, Got ya, Dremel out good deal of insides probably cuts weight in half, makes sense. I do it to some plastic cars, why not metal ones. Unfortunately in 1/32 would still be too heavy. But makes sense in HO, since the over powering of HO cars is even more so than in 1/32. Hence can handle the "weight."

Just wish 1/32 had the selection, HO and 1/24 have ... about 394 billion model kit selections at last count.

GM454, Remember you at a forum ... that is no longer, too bad. You posted about a ride I posted there. I have a prodigious memory for such things. Now, if I only could remember those female things women get excited about, involving dates, and times of year. Love you striped Dodge, by the way. Sits way up like real ones did. Did you detail stuff like window surrounds?

zanza, Great little conversion. Love the flat paint. I'm not Rally savvy, so assume this little ride was a Rally car?

videojimmy, You're prodigious as my memory for off beat stuff is. Did you do all the details? Little Red Wagon is always a top choice, can never go wrong with it. Very nicely done . . .

hoslotfrance, Really like your 70's [think I'm right] era open wheelers. Number 64 is very clean, with great details . . .

hoslotfrance again, Goodness, you guys are prolific, are you not? Some pipeline, as on your other cars, great details. Actually owned two of the cars your doing. They are not amongst the last three unfortunately. Hope to see them when you're done with them.

Well, well . . . this is a very active little thread, stupid pun intended. Though not my scale, I'm thoroughly enjoying your cars and the give & take.

VJ, may have started me thinking about taking a 1/32 metal car and Dremeling it out to lighten it enough to run decently on a track. Should only take about about what? two years . . .

As usual ... good show all . . .

Cheers,
Jas

volvo1:1, how did you manage gold paint in surround, like rear around window? Is it a Bentley?


Cheers,
Jas[/QUOTE]


The car is a Bentley that I developed from a Lionel Bentley HO body. I added LL Porsche' wheelwells,tyco pipes & modified the grill on the prototype.The rest is my re-sculpting.It is then cast in resin in a rubber mold.It runs on a JLTO chassis. I call it the "Bentley Intimidator"
The gold paint is using a lot of skill with a thin tipped brush.

"The gold paint is using a lot of skill with a thin tipped brush."

This is free hand? If so, you got me there . . .

Cheers,

Jas... I see lots of 1/32 cars I'd like to make into slots, but at this time my focus is on HO. Someday, I'll get into 1/32 scale. It seems easier to work with and more possiblities for customizing

I get the red wagons clean. I paint them, make the glass, find better chrome engines to fit in and then add the decals... which I get from Pattos

Thank's for the pics ! It's this one . If you know a link with others Japanese unusual color shemes... :confused:

Covered wheels : I've noticed them in " World sportscar racing 89" , the book of Gustav Büssing and Ulriech Upietz . Mainly in japan and also at Donington .
This Toyota is the most efficient Group.C body in HO . Improving aerodynamics could make it unbeatable... ;)

I think this page has EVERY Toyota??

Montoya1 , do you have any idea about what to create with the ugly European lighted Tomy Jaguar group C ? :confused:

you can get the same rims on the blue dunlap car from MEV, Vincent makes tham and they're sweet!

Ford C100?

yes , the Vincent wheels BBS type are a real hit for the major end 70's and 80's racing cars.

For the European Tomy jaguar , I've found this Simpson C2 (Silverstone 1986). :)

http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1986/Silverstone-1986-05-05-084.jpg

This Simpson C2 is uglier (if it was possible) than the european Tomy lighted Jaguar LOL

Yes ! :) It's one of the strangest C2 entrant in the world Endurance championship...
Only one race , the idea was to sell a kit car based on Chevron parts.

If somebody could identify the sponsor on the front end ?

Just a Bump Draft.
Any other custom builders out there...
Class in 10 min. for leading and cutting 101..
lots of great looking cars you guys. Glad to see more of the custom work coming out of the wood work.. HHHHmmm wooden slotcars....turn marshal safe...lol

Not quite finished but needing to take a break from it...I still have to paint and install the driver and the rear engine and cowling covers. Will not be finished before the deadline so I enter her as is..lol...

Coach! That car is da'BOMB! It looks like the 1:1 pic you showed me last night! I can hardly wait to see it completed!:thumbsup:

Oh God ! I'm six wheels under... :)

A very interesting definition of a six wheeler.It looks great.
Regards Stefan

with just a little more effort, you can get all 4 rear wheels driven by the motor
