Here's a shot of my latest project, An Allard J2X. It's the first "from scratch" car I've done. BTW, It's 1/32nd scale. The body was carved from wood with resin inlays. The wings were made with JB Weld putty and the rest of the bits are from various sources or hand made.
What is pictured is the car body, the wings headlamps, steering wheel, fuel filler and 2 different blisters for the bonnet of the car depending on the car to be made. J2Xs were seen in a wide variety of guises...`with or without louvers, different blisters on the bonnet... even no blister but with a cut out for triple downdraft carbs. They were raced with stock wings, cycle wings and no wings at all.
The body is a slosh casting while the "bits" are 2 part molded and are a tad "flashy" but quite useable (I'm still learning the process).
I'll be making a set of decals to depict Jim Kimbery's "8 ball" livery, which will be included with the car.
