Hi folks,

hereīs the first ResiNews for 2008: A project I started working on almost 2 years ago (found the old Lesney diecast at a fleamarket then). Paint stripping, screwpost installation and casting the mold were a cakewalk, the hardest part was doing the mold for pulling the "glass".

Here are pics of my first 2 finished 1957 Hillman Minx racers:

Nice little cars for skinny wheeled T-Jets, arenīt they?

... for all the nice words!

You keep me hunting for weird little toy cars that might fit a T-Jetīs wheelbase! :wave:
