It's done! It represents Chris Amon's 312 from the 1967 season. All scratchbiult except for the driver figure which I had to rob from my Scaley Lotus 49- ouch. All .039 steel wire chassis with the same Scalextric motor and gear ratio as the Lotus and Eagle
Hope you like it. modelersc Chambersburg Pa. USA

That is some serious shite!

Excellent car! I like these 1967-cars so much!
How did you do the soldering of the steel wire? And could you please add some detail pics from the rear end? VBR, Taffy -------------------- sleeping dogs never bite

I really love those exhausts....
It is also great to see how you have soldered suspension arms to the chassis. A very cleanly finished model. Something for me to aim for. QUOTE How did you do the soldering of the steel wire? ......same as brass but use an acid flux and a bit more heat. -------------------- John Warren

I agree with the rest..... Lovely build brother. Great design.
Did you scatchbuild the body and engine details? Is it possible to get a photo or two of the chassis on it's own. Again, cool build! |
