Ford 429er made from a McLaren M6 file, like the original.

I will put a wing on it, eventually.

Chappyman,
Interesting conversion to get a unique car, can you show some pics from the CAD file highlighting the changes from the M6 please.

Cheers

It's mostly the flat surfaces behind the driver.....I didn't mess with the front end at all.

Put the little scoops on the sides. that's about it.    I just looked at pictures and tried to make it close.

If you want the later model you will need to add the wrap around spoiler at the rear.

Reworked the 312P files.

What changes did you make to the 312p files?

cheers

The original 312P files were pretty slab-sided unlike the real cars.   So these are much more rounded.

March 707

March 707 (one of the cheese dish shapes I can create without scanning) designed in CAD as shown below,

   

   

then, printed.

   

Front winglets have been removed from the shell and added to the chassis so as to facilitate the chassis using them as outriggers (wood track use) in lieu of a front splitter.

AW boxer chassis being refined and on the printer soon.

Cro-Sal Cheetah Conversion

Shown elsewhere on this forum is my version of the Bill Thomas Cheetah created by scanning an old resin shell.

   

   
Finished car

Having been racing this at my local club with some success, and was itching to create something similar, when I came across the Cro-Sal special version of the Cheetah which was the only open top racing Cheetah. Going back to my CAD file I looked at various options to create the open top, i.e. remove the roof and re-profile the rear deck, and ultimately after several iterations decided the only way to do it was to cut the rear of the car off from the cockpit backwards then redraw the entire rear.

 Cut & shut
   

It is not an accurate version but gives the flavour of the coupe so happy with that, and below is the 1st print, painted up and trial sitting on my Goodwood IL Boxer chassis from the original Cheetah.

I wasn't aware of this version before, I like it

Kevan,
         Couple of links to peruse, the first has a comprehensive set of pictures of the car.

Funnily enough those are two sites I visited straight after seeing your print
