That's very nice, simple concept but so effective....

Hello,
Following a bit of a prompt from Scott on the NNRC thread I've started another thread. Its just to cover my scratch building projects although anybody else is welcome to join in of course.
I WILL CONTINUE TO POST ON THE nnrc THREAD AS WELL.

At the moment I have a Ford F3L P68 on the go and have just received through the post an Airfix E Type Jaguar and VW Beetle. The Jag is going to be turned in the Bob Tullius Group 44 version. I know Top Slot produce this but I fancy the challenge. The Beetle is going to be turned into a Uniroyal Fun Cup Endurance racer which are based on a modified Beetle bodyshell but sitting on a single seater racing chassis. Look them up on www.uniroyalfuncup.co.uk is you want to know more.
I intend to use the Scalextric Sport Tuning range which is why I wanted to see how zxr400er's Ferrari 156 went with the little F1 motor in it. The Airfix Beetle is smaller than I imagined it would be so I think the F1 motor will be quite suitable.

Hello
My "Race Across America" entry, a Spirit Dallara kit with a NSR 25K King as its power plant. This was not how I expected to finish it but the weather and time constraints has been against my original idea.

Nick, I have misjudged you. I thought Proxy Racing was boring, but then I saw this.
You old Devil, you!

Hello
I can't believe how long I haven't posted on here! In a similar vein I have at long last finished my "Michelin" Group C Sauber which is going to get an airing in the forth coming Formula Libre Open class.

Hello
I was really pleased how well this raced the other night against all those Camaros and it was a nice simple paint job.

I recently purchased, at a bargain price, the SCX Vintage McLaren M9A. This is the car I mean:

The problem with this car is it doesn't fit the requirements (pre 1968) for my favourite series, the Goodwood Theme nights at Alresford.
My solution - modify it, so that it looks like a 1966 McLaren M2B! That's the one with the modified Indy Ford V8 engine, not the Serenissima.
Firstly, I removed the rear wing, and cut off the font winglets. Then in order to make the engine look more like the Indy Ford V8 I removed the air intakes and exhausts, and swapped them around so the exhausts exited from the top of the engine, rather than the sides. I found a couple of chrome cylinder head tops and a better driver's head in my junk box, which finished it off nicely.
Here are some pictures of the result:

OK, it isn't the most accurate model, but it looks a lot more like a McLaren M2B than the original looked like an M9A!
Now all it needs is painting the correct colour. Any volunteers?
