I need to look into styrene, didn't realize you can shape it like that. Thumbup

Back to work after a break! I have reworked the tail once more and tried some glitter.

Looks like it will be a well-used second-hand car... Bigsmile

I have not given up on the Goggo!
But there were some things I never did get right on the wooden master. Especially the tail and the rear side screens, I am rather pleased with the front.
I decided to finish it with heavy weathering to draw attention away from the failures. Bigsmile

Before doing this I took a mould.

I will continue working with a resin body and make a corrected, more unused version. So it ain't over yet! Sun

..and maybe creating your own Goggo race class? It's just an idea that came to my mind. Idea

Yes, why not? Bigsmile

I've always thought you can have fun racing most anything, as long as the cars are equal.
These will be very slow with micro motors, with some lead added to prevent tilting. Sun

Might be the ideal race car when you've had a drink too much! Beer

I finally got myself together to do some casting!
While I was on the go, I did some more of my older shells.
I did these years ago, the silicone molds seem to keep their shape very well!
I am slowly learning to get them reasonably thin and even, the screen openings just need to be pressed out. Well, almost... Sun

Maybe I should build a Goggo dealer or junkyard as part of the track scenery? Rofl

Will this result in a Goggo slot rally team, when ready?
Very nice. Well done! Thumbup

RE: Goggomobil t250 - Carver - 5th-Feb-23

Ehr... Thanks for the idea, but I think I pass! Bigsmile

Obviously, they did race them.

Hillclimbing? I see some hills in the background! Sun

Wow Carver, that is superb!

What a wacky looking device, who ever realised that a Goggomobile van type vehicle was ever produced, bizarre, but brilliant.

Keep up the good work Thumbup
