I always enjoy looking at other peoples work, you always pick up a tip for the future Thumbup

I must say, this place isn't terribly busy, out of laziness, rather than start a new thread, I'll carry on with this one.
This is "Little and Large" part 2-1. Bordeaux is fast approaching (I think Anthony will bless us with his presence this year)
The theme for 2025 is F1 to 1972 (booooo!)
In 1/24th I will be using a car I built a couple years ago, a Brabham BT34 the base by Estrela of Brasil, it was missing a few bits and I added a couple of details, the twin engine intake was a must have.

It goes reasonably well

And part 2-2 for the 1/32nd car. A Matra MS9 built based on the Airfix MS10.
The actual body modifications are fairly simple, so I added a bit of detail, there a few more to go as well as the decals.

Because I wanted to retain the steering, I had to change the guide which proved a bit tricky

Perhaps we should get Fora Frank from the other place to liven things up! Tease

RE: Little and Large - Kevan - 30th-May-25

Noooooooooooo! ?

But seriously, what's stopping you posting more often than once a month?

Or, maybe this guy can help.

RE: Little and Large - Kevan - 31st-May-25

My 'scratch building' as far as bodyshells go has so far been limited to wheelarches but I love seeing other peoples work, especially bodyshells.

Chassis are easy, they're flat and have straight cutouts.

Wheel inserts can be made with old wheels and a dremel if you don't have a 3D printer.

Then there's the decorating, another skill I'm lacking. Making a model look remarkably similar to a 1:1 'real' car must be a labour of love.

For some of us, it seems that how it goes on the track is secondary.

RE: Little and Large - merkit the grof - 31st-May-25

How it goes on track is reasonably important considering the car was built for an actual race meeting.
I know some people will disagree, but surely the looks of a car are no barrier to good performance are they?

To spare you the horror of Frank the W..., I will try and post all the cars I built for the Bordeaux meeting over the years.
