What's on your bench right now? [1/43]

[LloydL]

I have a Karmann Ghia diecast that I plan to mould.

Regards, Lloyd.

I was going to do a Ghia in 1/32 scale but my diecast subject car turned out to be about 1/36 scale so I stalled on the project. It would be a fun build to add some RSR type rear wheel flares and a wing to make a Racing Ghia. I think it would look pretty sharp when it was done.

I was going to do that Volvo you sent me, but I was modding the shell to turn it into a two door, and my chop saw kicked back and turned the casting into a jigsaw puzzle. So no Volvo 122 for me. Learned a lesson. Use hand saws when cutting resin shells.

These wings need to be cast silicone to stand up better. I think every car I have with a wing on it has been damaged at some point

that #24 Nascar looks great!

They look really nice Aki. I need to add some NASCAR to my stable.

IS there something special about the guides?

I purchased a bunch of Peter's guides from Shapeways, and I really like them. I am using them on my 132 builds as well. They are thin enough to allow me to add some credit card strips to them if I want to change the length or make them slightly deeper.

Peter's guides are just fine, it's just the loose one on the picture which is not printed correctly and is missing the arm.
It was brand new, not sure did it came with one of the chassis I have purchased or with 10 pcs set.

I really like those blister fendered early trucks. Keep us posted
