Scalextric/SCX BMW M3 road car. I need to find some better wheels for this one.
Best regards,

Rally fans will recognise where this was
supposed to be going..........
The sidestripes were a nightmare, to the point where they became unsalvageable. They were extremely brittle, even with large amounts of Decal Soft on them. To be fair, I've had the sheet in my to-do box for quite a few years. Buying another sheet might not be the answer, the ink they used is pretty thick.
I'll post another image of what I manage to achieve in terms of a fantasy livery based around what I have done so far.
Best regards,
Stuart.

repaint of an old Scalextric 911 turbo
using German flag colours and any old stickers i had lying around
was a bit tatty and run of the mill . looks much better and more individual now i think
also used a 3DP pod chassis from one of John May's files . which fits perfect
runs OK but waiting on some decent tyres . which should transform it

Been a bit quiet here, lately.
However.......... I have twelve cars at various stages of the stripping & repainting process. Unfortunately, repainting here at Chez Stuart is restricted by the weather because I have to do it in our detached garage. We are exposed to the slightest wind, which blows dust all over the place.
Once I get all the cars painted, I will begin to detail and livery them all. Most, though, will have the bare minimum livery.
Best regards,
Stuart.
