Hello, as promised, here are some pictures of my cars. They are all 1/32nd scale . I mainly work on the bodies, that's why I often build them as static, but all of them are "slotable". They are not perfect, but I like them all. I particularly love the Delage 1500. Certainly a man like Danny would do a fantastic racer with it. Here are below some of them, A delage 1500 1927, Auto-Union A type, Delage 2LCV 1925, Indianapolis Miller 1927 and 1928, MAsérati 2.9L 1934, and Alfa P3. I hope the Photobucket links will work so that pictures will appear. If it works well, in some other posts, I'll sow you how I sculpt my cars. Cheers. Jérôme. Oh, I was forgetting , I'm 39 ;-)

Well, It seems the posts were OK. but I don't understand why some pictures are so big, and some ones far less big ! Still, I hope you'll like. Jérôme.

If it works well, in some other posts, I'll show you how I sculpt my cars. Cheers.

Hello, Another of my favorite cars was the Peugeot Grand Prix 1914. According to what I know, this car won the 1914 Indianapolis 500. But I'm not sure at all of the colour. I think it was darker blue. I built it about 10 years ago. It was one of my first slotcars. i had had matters to find large wheels for it, and I remember I had used 1/24 Bentley 4.5 rims with toric joints as tires. I liked it, but it didn't go fast. Still, as a memory ... Cheers. Jérôme.

Welcome Jerome! Very nice cars!
Danny, I´m sorry about having been so quiet about this car in this forum and in the german scratchbuilt-forum. It was a little bit busy in the last few weeks...
I really like the way, like you are telling storys with your scratchbuilt cars! Its a shame, that women are so underrepresented in slotcars. There have been so many women drivers in the motoring history....
I like the brass-frame that you built, the steering, and I like the complete car and the fine detailing, even if the body is a little bit high over the ground - but this is only to my taste!
I would be happy to get a chance to drive your cars like Peter....
Very best regards, Taffy
