 I was at a race meeting at Donington Park a few years ago and had a good look at this restored OSCA, when the driver opened her up and raced through the paddock I got the full impact of the engine noise and there and then decided I had to build a slot car version of this car.  Bira at the wheel of the OSCA    My car has a balsa carved bodyshell although I did cast a few resin copies. Front motored scratchbuilt chassis to provide room for the driver which is one of my Airfix soldier conversions and using Milliput to make the drivers cap - I made Bira's prescription goggles out of fuse wire with blobs of tinted epoxy for the lenses.

Excellent detailing David. What sort of finish / paint did you use on that gleaming grill?

I opened up the resin in the grill then Bare Metal Foiled it and backed the grill with some fine mesh.

Due to the fact that he is very nice man, David allowed me to do a swap a couple of years ago; an OSCA for a 4.CLT that I had made. Hence, I too have a light blue and yellow one (but nowhere near David's standard) but also I was able to create a 'factory' version as well.  |
