I thought you might like to view my current project, it is still a work in progress.
I am afraid it is far from your forum standards, but I am learning all of the time. My aim is to make something that has a hint of the real car under the body. I will update as I go..
The body is a Beta classic via Pendle, it was the last they had and did have quite a few areas of "soft" uncured resin but I was happy to have a body to work with, I cut those sections away and filled them. Where necessary I used an aluminium tape that a friend had brought home from Spain. It is much like the copper tape used on tracks and stained glass windows but in a roll the size of Gaffa tape. I replaced the bonnet with the tape and lifted the louvres (wrong way and not enough) with a razor blade.
There is more chassis to follow and I hope to sculpt a driver. The body is to be finished with grill and a few details including a screen and mirrors and a number, I am hoping to avoid decals as I enjoy completing as much as possible myself.
Here is a You Tube video which also shows my tiny track WIP and a Richard Bolster Spl that I made for a proxy on this forum a while ago.
