On a lonely stretch of road in Western Australia the silence of dawn is suddenly shattered by twelve screaming cylinders at maximum revs....

Ha ha, yes Stewart, after numerous chilly nights in the workshop testing ready for August despatch.

Thanks Mark.
My car is more a freehand effort which doesn't show up well to the details of close up photography!

Body: Balsa self made body Nigel, that´s great! I ever thought about beginnig with carving balsa wood, but I fear to cut into my fingers (and they are the most needed tool in my work), and, because I´m not used to handle the material, I believe, it is more difficult to get the right shape of a car, than using resin. I admire that, and I wish you good luck for the races. My best regards |

Thank you Taffy, I hope it looks OK when on the grid with the rest of the cars, so many well presented models like your Matra.

Nigel
