RE: Whats on your bench ... - DPJ - 19th-Sep-24

After the catastrophic event of breaking a front wheel (rears were already glued on) - and the model being out of production for some time, I had to wait 2 months for wheels to be available to purchase 3D printed via SpotModel.

Here I've cleaned the original rear wheels to repaint...

Here is the freshly re-painted rear wheel...

Here's the base ready for parking lot lines to be painted - and the cones have been fitted with magnets to stay in place...

Rotors and calipers are almost done and new front wheels...

A 300 SL kit ended up on my workbench a few days ago. A custom chassis is ready. It's going back to the owner for final assembly. The numbers listed on the chassis are the tire diameters.

The Matchbox Auto Union D type plastic kit converted to slot car.

This could form part of the kits thread as well.

Had this is my worklist for 5 years  maybe.

It has not turned out superbly and made me realise I have to try and get a GTM version...

Anyhow = set up for vintage racing.

I am pretty sure that motor from the D Type kit can be a nice power boost for other cars.....

Nicely done.

A 1/24 Toyota 2000 GT kit ended up on my bench a while ago. A chassis has been made, and it's going to the new owner for assembly.

Technically it's off my bench now.

Another three 1/24 kits magically appeared on my bench out of nowhere. I had to make 4-chassis for 3-friends by Saturday, and it was already Thursday. That included the Toyota 2000 GT from the previous post. The other three cars that needed a chassis were a BMW Z-4, a Pantera, and a '66 Nova SS. Not bad for a guy that's supposed to be retired.

Two cars on my bench at the minute

An Aoshima Suzuki Jimny semi built, and another Aoshima kit that needs building,  a Nissan S30 Fairlady Z

Going to be a while before the Jimny is finished and Fairlady started though, have a pass for a few days to go carp fishing, then it's a week with my 4 yr old for half term!

Ken whats your magic spell - CarAppearis - need to practise that!!

"Car Appearis". I like it. That's funny. 

There's no substitute for elbow grease. I burned a little midnight oil to get the job done. The cars and chassis are back with their owners for final assembly.

With my plate clean, I can start/continue some personal projects again.

I went to the cottage for a few days and painted a few 1/24 bodies. I forgot to bring the weights to hold the bodies while they dry. I came up with a solution by using what we had at the cottage. Empty bottles loaded with rocks. Hey, it worked.
