1/24 Shelby for tonights racing

[proxieken]

I built a Monogram model kit for digital racing, and thought I should take a pic before it gets in the mix.



The tricky part was the taillights. I made a mold and cast clear resin so they would light up.



The front is hanging a bit lower than it should, but maybe it will handle better.



I tried to make the interior and driver uniform match the exterior. The whole things is not really based on a real race car, just wanting to get some colors to go together.

Great looking car. What chassis did you use or is it a custom chassis?

It is a 1/24 bread van chassis. I picked up a couple of these when they were on sale. Just cut it in half, stretch it out and glue in some brass tubing to hold the 2 halves together, and it is done. I popped off the wire wheel portion of the bread van and glued in some resin inserts off e-bay.
