This picture reminded me that I have this rather nice resin shell in 1/24th.

It would make a nice change from building Ferraris.

Still going and with a priceless collection of race cars with a great pedigree.
Let's have a bit of a Piper fest.
First remembering that he started with a Lotus XXI

Before he switched to Ferraris.

A green Ferrari, but it wasn't driven by David Piper.

A Pea?
Or a Fiat 500 with airtight vents, window and door seals that has been parked in direct sunlight all day?

You have to wonder why and how people can justify spending good design time (and money) to create this sort of stuff.
Still, each to their own.
Time for some music, again an artist I would necessarily listen to all day, but you have to recognise talent.
Weirdly, I thought this lady was from Morocco, turns out she is a much more complex person than I thought, and she's had a tremendous career.
Meet Natasha Atlas, a true citizen of nowhere, singing one of Francoise Hardy's tunes (written by someone else)
Sometimes, things are a little bit more complicated than the simpletons can imagine; still, if you are born of a small-town vicarage in rural nowhere, it's easy to think life is simple.

It's a Ferrari Jim but not as we know it...
It's a 156 F1-63, the first Ferrari F1 car with a monocoque chassis but it didn't even last for the full 1963 season being replaced by the 156 Aero.

An original Policar

Just a little on the plump side

Probably so they could fit at standard S can motor. The car also has 'steering', the guide has a hole through which the axle fits quite loosely, with nothing else holding the axle in place. As the guide turns so does the front axle with lots of side to side movement but it does work.
While we're talking of Policar I've done a bit of work on my SRC Ferrari 312 T4 which now has one of Andrew Rowland's 3D front ends, from Shapways, and a Policar gearbox unit.

I just need to find where I have put the support for the standard rear wing, if I can't find it I will have to fit the Monaco wing but the cars marking are wrong for that race.

That's the thing with Piper, he had as much hair then as he has now.
Let's see what other green stuff we can dredge out of the old filling system.

Talking of green, is this the most iconic row of trees in the motoracing universe?

Given a choice between the Perregaux and a Fossil below:
I think I will go with the Fossil and spend the dosh saved on a few more of these:
Afterall, slotcars are way more fun and you can always ask someone else what the time is!

1963 F1, the bottom picture shows that the Jouef toolmaker got his wheels absolutely spot on.
